Caller: another f*cking pakistani

tried to rip me off with "your computer has errors", I wish someone would nuke that f*cking country, kill the c*nts.

That's my number and I'm the Australian female who has left a voice message to the poor people just trying to return a missed call. I've told Telstra about it but, true to form, they're not doing anything to help....so I just don't answer the phone anymore.

Another scam apparently calling from telstra caught him out though 🤣

I had that too i just told him to go away didnt let him start talking after hello :D hopefully he gets the message and doubt telstra would ring u out of the blue unless u phone them first lol

Caller: telstra with pakki accent

Told me my internet has problems. He gave me "tel0203" as his id no,. when I asked for a number to call him back on , he said he would disconnect my internet.

My phone listed this number as originating from Kerang, Victoria. Seemed to be an older, perhaps not so articulate. The usual you have a computer problem.

Second time in 2 hours claiming to be Telstra and problem with my internet told them to come up with a new scam this one is old

Caller: Don’t know

Daily calls, they hang up on my dad every single time. Very frustrating.

Same number as everyone else here has had. These scammers are usually an overseas call centre ( but not always). They often use phone numbers to look like they are based in Australia. Sometimes they are random phone numbers, sometimes the phone number they use belong to a real live unsuspecting person.
We use a telephone answering machine to screen all calls. Most of the time they hang up without leaving a message, So obviously a scammer or the call is no one of importance anyway. If they don’t leave a message, or call several times without leaving a message. They go on our blocked list. If a message is left, we decide whether it is a genuine caller, or not before we decide if it is worth calling back. 99% of the time, we never call them back.

Another pain in the arse trying to scam me.

Called four times in five minutes. Claiming to be from telstra technical department.

claiming to be telstra, horrible line, scam

He sounded like he was Indian or Pakistani, said he was from Telstra and they found problems with my computer and the internet and would be cutting off the internet tomorrow. He needed access to my computer to run a test. I basically told him to take running jump off a high cliff and I hung up. He called back straight away and I hung up without talking you him. Parasite needs to get a conscience.

Expecting a call from my doctor I picked up the phone when it rang. Waited, probably 30 seconds, heard nothing, and then 'GOODBYE'. I don't know what these fuc*ing *&^%holes are playing at, but the australian companies that lease them the local numbers should be prosecuted, convicted and then lined up against a wall and shot. To hell with those who destroyed our phone system and created mistrust everywhere. Rot in hell, pigs.

Caller: John from Telstra (Indian accent)

Going to disconnect my internet unless i go online and chat to him right now..... obvious a scam.
