Caller: Scammer claiming to be Telstra Got a call from this number last week claiming to be from Telstra telling me someone had hacked my computer and tried getting me to download an app to allow third party access. I played along for over half an hour just for fun but then ran late for something and disconnected the call. They tried calling me back repeatedly through WhatsApp and I could see they had the Telstra logo. Just went into WhatsApp now and noticed the number now has the PayPal logo so I’m guessing they’ve changed their scam.
