Beware. Internet scammer. Pretending to be from Telstra. Do not do what he says.

I've had many of these calls blocked but hey keep coming. I spoke to the Telstra department that deals with them and was told that "They can't because the caller creates a Skype or internet number as camouflage. The callers can't be traced in this instance either. I finally blocked all international calls to my phone which has reduced it to a random few. My line is silent also but they use auto dalliers which call a sequence of numbers at random bypassing the private number bit. Back to the old style whistle in the ear I rekon.

Internet scanner. Said was from Telstra. Obvious Indian accent.

I told the boofhead I didn't have Telstra as my Internet provider, told him to "get stuffed" then hung up on him. Then I blocked the number on my iPhone.

Caller stated they were calling me about my Telstra account (which i dont have) & wanted to argue with me about it. I hung up. Received a missed call afterwards.

Scammer pretending to be from "Telstra Bigpond Australia" claiming my internet was being used by overseas criminals. He passed me on to his "senior technician" when I said I don't have a computer but I have an iPhone. The new guy recited my details from the white pages and claimed to be in Melbourne. He wanted me to buy $1000 worth of iTunes gift cards and give them the codes so that they could do a 'sting operation' and 'put overseas criminals behind bars'.

Telstra should be stopping them, they can easily block certain numbers.

These people are no doubt Scammers, so my CPR Call blocker BLOCKS THEM TOTALLY. THERE ARE OVER 5,000 Scammer calls that can, are are blocked by this Great Little Invention and you can press a button on this Call Blocker that blocks them from Calling /Annoying us again. We really Welcome and Appreciate this Unit. The best move We Ever Made.

So sick of these people who have nothing better to do than PHONE and annoy decent hard working folk. POND SCUM. That's all Folks.

He even admitted to being a scammer but told me was working out of India.

Said he was from Telstra I said well give me your number and I will call you back to verify, he wouldn't so I hung up. He then rang back and said the same thing - so did I and he said he'd shut my internet down for 6 months before hanging up on me.

Just got a call from this mob saying he was from Telstra Technical Department that there had been numerous calls saying there was an problem with the internet in my area. Told him he wasn't from Telstra that he was a scammer and I hung up.

So funny people can fall for these calls.
I lead him on so much when I hung up and he called back I said my phone must be infected and to call me back if I dropped out....

He kept calling back LOL

Yeah its a scam..... Really...... LOL

You do what they say and you'll be in trouble.... indeed.

Waste their time and helps save the next person and will run out of time.

Claiming to be a Telstra technician, says you are having issues with your internet and suspicious activity has been deetected. Was going to guide me through a process with the computer but I just hung up as obviously a scammer.

Beware.

Scammer claiming to be a Telstra technician addressing "internet problems". I have been plagued by these people, first yesterday evening and later by phone today. They are extremely persistent, after I hanged up they persistently rang both my home number and mobile number. They did not successfully takeover my computer but got close. They got me to install a program that gave them remote control of my computer, then installed a couple more programs. I have removed their programs and appear to be back to normal.Beware tell them you don't have internet and hang up.

Telstra scammer! They get pretty angry if you drag them along for a bit...

Definitely a scammer. Indian Female voice wanted to sell me something from Telstra so I just pressed the big red button on my CPR CallBlocker machine. Invaluable unit. Wouldn't be without it.
