Posted on December 13, 2024 Caller type: Scam call Location: Australia
Caller: Claimed to be Telstra, but NOT. Indian call centre. Claimed to be from Telstra offering me 40% off my current services for the next two years (too good to be true, right?). The only thing is, I haven't used Telstra in YEARS. Anyway, he sent me a code by SMS and asked me to read it back. The SMS came from 'Microsoft Account', which means he was trying to access my Hotmail account! Beware!!! They get your email address and try to log into it using the 'Try another method' when they don't have your password. Microsoft sends YOU the code, but if you give it to them, they can log in and wreak all kinds of havoc. NEVER give out a code over the phone - especially from a random phone call - and ONLY if you are 100% certain which company you are dealing with (ie. you called THEM).
