It was supposed to be Telstra calling me saying that my internet wifi is compromised. They asked me questions to encourage me to answer to their prompts like “yes” and “right”. I responded a couple of times and then I thought it was a scam so I hung up. I then checked the phone number using Reverse Numbers and found it is a unknown user. I feel that I did the right thing to cancel the call but I feel I may have said too many keywords like “yes” and “right” that they might be able to use for scamming me. So I need to be more alert to calls like this.

Non english first language person apparently calling from Amazon regarding a purchase for iPhone 11

Automated message about from Visa and Mastercard something or other. "There has been a charge on your card for X amount for online shopping, press 1 if this is a fraudulent transaction or 2 if you want to approve it". Definitely scam call, by the looks of it spoofing a local number as well.

Said he was from my credit card security department. HA!

Caller: “Telstra technical services”

Took ages to connect. Noisy background, was told it was Telstra home internet and that there was a problem with my connection. Definite scam, I don’t have Telstra

Caller: This abv number

Tried to say we have an Amazon Prime account and were through our first month. Very insistent and persistent. Hung up on them. No we did not have Amazon Prime.

Caller: Scam

I’m not a native speaker and was waiting for a job interview call, then this number called, with very noisy background, I can just nearly heard “did you share your wifi with anyone else?” I was really not sure if this is what I heard at that time, and explained that I share wifi from my landlord, and my phone number was never registered to a wifi provider. Then they hung up, and I was a bit worried because if that’s the interview, I must miss the question and be sound like an idiot. Thanks god I checked it here and many said that’s scam. Now I can retell the reason why she hung up and imagine the awkward look on her face. Nice!
