Heavily accented 'lady' claimed to be calling from Telstra - she had my name. I put on a heavy accent myself and pretended not to understand her so she hung up and I blocked the number.

Suspicious number

Caller: Unknown/Scammer

Number called me at 11:44am on a Friday. I did not answer, and no voice message was left. Phone displayed warning saying "WARNING: Suspicious calling pattern" Do not answer or call back this number.

Caller: (03) 7086 1286

Just received a Telstra warning when this call came through saying this number has a suspicious calling pattern. Naturally I didn't answer because clearly it is a SPAM call. Don't answer and block number.

Caller: Unknown

Pretended to be from Telstra. I told them my internet isn’t Telstra so she said it was something about the IP address. I knew it was a scam, but it was incredibly noisy in the background and the call was glitchy so they hung up before I could.

Few hours later, same number with a different last digit called my husband. Blocked.

Indian sounding woman who had to quickly turn off the loud Indian music. Then said she was from Telstra and my IP address had gone from private to public. When I said it sounds a bit scammy, she yelled at me to shut my mouth and hung up!

Caller: I don't know

My phone rang with the message of "Warning: Suspicious calling pattern" no message left.
