Caller: Scam Call

Just had a female call me from what sounded like a very noisy call centre. She claimed to be from Telstra and was offering me a 30 percent discount but needed my full name, date of birth, etc. As I was in front of my laptop, I searched the phone number she was calling from, came up with this site, told her she's not from Telstra, and hung up. Seems they're running a lot of scams from this number!

Caller: Scammer pretending to be Telstra

An Indian-sounding lady told me she was from Telstra, and I have a 30% discount offer but need to first give my full name. She had my first name but seemed like she was after more. I wonder if it came from a COVID sign-in from a cafe or something. Either way, I told her I didn't believe she was Telstra and hung up.

Caller: Lady

Claimed to be from Telstra offering a discount for the next quarter on my mobile phone bill. Couldn't advise who the account holder was (me) and was very pushy.

I've just had a call saying that someone has placed an order on my account and its to a different delivery address, and to cancel the order I would need to give my DOB. I just hung up.

Caller: Saying is Telstra

Now they are trying to get you with the mesage "This is Telstra to inform you that your Internet connection will be cut off soon... Press 1 to disconnect or 2 to continue" ... presumably "2" will ask you to provide name address DOB and any other data that they can exploit. WARNING THIS IS SCAM....

Caller: Scammers

Rang claiming to be from Optus advising someone had just placed an order on my account for an iPhone. Definite Refund Scam.

Caller: Spam Call

Indian lady called claiming to be from Optus. Advised me someone was fraudulently trying to transfer my mobile number to Optus and she required my personal information to to prevent this from going ahead. Beware- these people are 100% scammers!!!

Constantly call. One call I am sureI heard a recording click. Indian accent.

Caller: Julia

She pretended to be Optus, I knew immediately it’s a scam call which they ask for personal details and credit card. Please don’t fall for this scam it’s pretty obvious they all relay thru a Melbourne number but are usually based in Hyderabad India. Wish we had a police unit in Australia to trace these people. Well documented in YouTube unfortunately it still works. Please people never ever give out personal or financial details to a stranger no matter who they say they are, always call a company back on the number listed on their website.

never answer calls from people not in your contacts list let it go to voice mail listen to voice message then check number on google if you are not sure and BLOCK NUMBER,they are just scammers

Caller: Indian Lady

Informed me that someone had placed an order on my Optus account for a new iphone to a different address.
I must'ave sounded suspicious because she hung up on me first!

Caller: Scammer

I just had a missed call and accidently hit call back - I cancelled before it connected. The number has now just rung me 15 times in a few minutes - I have blocked the number and am getting continuous missed call texts now. I suggest desperate scammers!!

Caller: Scammer

Scammers. Called our landline in Melbourne this morning.

Not sure why the police haven't shut down the phone number linked to these people.

They got me and I'm panicking how much info they now have and what other fraud I may be subjected to by these criminals.

Caller: INDIAN WOMAN ACCENT

MAJOR SCAMMERS THAT COMMIT IDENTITY FRAUD, I FELL VICTIM TO THEIR SCAM! VICTORIA POLICE ARE SEEKING THE CRIMINALS BEHIND THIS SYNDICATE

Caller: Woman Indian accent

THESE PEOPLE ARE SERIOUS FRAUDSTERS! They tricked me into giving them my date of birth after telling me they were from Optus, they knew my name, my plan details and when my plan finished and said they were offering me an ongoing discount. They changed my contact details on my Optus account and suspended my text messages, they ordered a new iPhone. It's only that I got suspicious moments after the call and called Optus to check if they were legitimate that the order was stopped and my account information repaired and new passwords put in place. I don't know the level of detail they now have of me and whether I'll fall victim to further identity fraud. BE CAREFUL, VICTORIA POLICE IS SEEKING THESE SCAMMERS!

Called me claiming to be calling about solar rebates. When I questioned about how she got my details she said I should google and I was "talking like stupid" and hung up.

A lady claimed to be calling from Vodafone and said I have won a iPhone 12. No charges whatsoever for the phone but she started the process by asking for my Vodafone account PIN number and that just sounded too good to be true
