Caller: Apparently Telstra

I keep getting calls from this number saying itsTelstra and that they have a message for me. They have my name but I’ve never ever been a Telstra customer so not sure why they are hassling me

Caller: (02) 8070 2249

Caller: Scammers

Says from Telstra, important message for my name.
Asked to press 1.
Hang up and blocked number.
Multiple calls in a day.

Leave a message please, or don’t waste my time

Caller: Telstra

A lady called saying she was from Telstra, and said I have an over due account. she knew my name and DOB. But I dont even have a telstra account. nor a landline. I told her this but she didnt believe me and insisted my account was overdue. I said this is a Scam, she denied it. So I just repeated, I DONT HAVE A TELSTRA ACCOUNT. I DONT HAVE A TELSTRA ACCOUNT. I DONT HAVE A TELSTRA ACCOUNT. then i hung up.

Press 1 for scam

Caller: Telstra

OK, everybody here needs to RELAX a little bit.
This is actually Telstra calling you regarding an outstanding bill.
They are calling the nominated contact person on the account.
In my case, I no longer worked for the company Telstra were calling about, but Telstra still had my contact details in that account.
THE CALL IS AUTOMATED AND WILL CONTINUE TO CALL YOU RELENTLESSLY UNTIL YOU ACCEPT THE CALL, PRESS 1 TO CONTINUE AND THEN PRESS 5 TO ADVISE TELSTRA THAT YOU ARE NO LONGER THE CONTACT PERSON FOR THE ACCOUNT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THEM ANY PERSON INFORMATION.
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN MAKE THEM STOP CALLING YOU.

Caller: Telstra

You know, I think this might actually be a legitimate number that Telstra are using to contact people who are listed on a Telstra account.
I'm not a Telstra customer, but he recorded message said that it was calling regarding an account name that I was listed on as an authorised person on that account.
The ladies voice that is heard when you call this number back is Jane Holmes, she is a radio announcer on 3AW and has a very recognisable voice.
Telstra use Jane Holmes for a lot of their recorded prompt announcements.
So it's possible that Telstra is contacting you about an account which not be yours, but you might be listed on as an authority to act on the account.

Caller: Telstra Specialized recoveries

i got multiple calls from them the past few days, they also knew my name but mentioned nothing else. Blocked

Caller: Automated "Telstra" call

Said there is an outstanding payment and even quoted the correct monthly amount I pay. Then asked for credit card details to pay - hang up, and report / block number.

I have blocked the number thought it was a scam. Don't answer numbers you don't know, if they are fair dinkum they will leave a message.

Caller: Who knows Telstra said not them

It's quite well done but it's odd
The message is delivered by a female announcer, Australian voice, professional announcer (anyone can lift that recording)
It is asking if I am owner of luna enterprises? If not call Telstra 1800 150 940/">1800 150 940. So I do. Telstra's response is 1800 150 940 is a scam number I said well if so you, at Telstra, have answered it, if you are Telstra. She said if you go on line you will see it's a fake number. I said but I'm talking to you on the fake number! She said I'll check now who you are talking to, she then said your talking to 1800 150 940/">1800 150 940b I replied yes, I'm talking to you, at this number, that you said was fake! I said ok it's a scm, so can I report it to you, seeing your Telstra. She mumbled something that was akin to brushing me off.
It is a scam. Luna Enterprises or Imports from what I can see are still functioning and have phone numbers available to call them on.
So if anyone is telling U they're legit, they're misinformed.

have received multiple calls from this number. Automated voice states they are from Telstra. Perused the post on this page and have seen there were multiple suggestions of this being attempt at recovering overdue amounts, however I am up to date with my payments. Do not trust this number.

Caller: (02) 8070 2249

Repeated calls from this number, sometimes multiple times per day. I 'Googled' the number and found multiple complaints. Glad I didn't answer.

Caller: "Specialised Recoveries" Telstra's debt collectors

It is actually Telstra's debt collectors called "Specialised Recoveries" and not a scammer or imposter, although it is automated voice. Typically calling regarding an outstanding bill which has been sent to them in which your name and phone number has been listed as the primary account holder. I swapped to Optus and my card was close to expiring and my final telstra bill went unpaid.. Received a letter in the post the same day from said company too for same amount mentioned in the automated message - I paid via the letter just to be safe but it was legit (for me at least) as I contacted Telstra directly and they confirmed

Caller: Says from Telstra (02) 8070 2249.

Call from (02) 8070 2249 saying I have an overdue account with Telstra. Has my name and year of birth. I have reported to Telstra and see if they remove the number. Not holding my breath.

Got several calls from this number today and same time last month. Seems automated. I have never answered and voicemail is automated. Have blocked thanks to this thread.

Called five times today claiming to be Telstra. I called the number back with my phone number blocked and got an automated response stating “Hi thanks for calling Specialized Recoveries. Please enter your phone number and post code and I will retrieve your account”

SCAM. Have blocked number.

Caller: Telstra specialised recoveries

Getting dozens of calls a week. I’ve now blocked. I didn’t press 1 when directed to verify who I was. No recovery service for funds has a legal right to use recorded messages and ask for personal details. Massive SCAM. I’m so glad I can use this forum to check on numbers. Helps a lot.

Caller: Telstra

Says telstra asks me to press 1
Obviously a fake.
Multiple calls.
In between a spam mobile number I've since blocked.

Caller: Fake Telstra

Claim itself Telstra. Trying to collect my personal information.
