I just got this and I knew straight up it was baloney. I am going to ring Telstra about it.

The SMS to me was 'Our systems indicate that the creditcard (sic) used to recharge yr (sic) prepaid service is about to expire.(sic)Pls(sic) update with new card details for topups (sic) to continue.' Once again, these people give themselves away by their clumsy grammar/spelling/syntax etc. It it SO terse that a customer would be so enraged, that it would have no effect.

I received the following text, please note I don't use anything prepaid, and check out the spelling mistakes. Poorly educated scammers........ Our systems indicate that the creditcard used to recharge yr prepaid service is about to expire.Pls update with new card details for topups to continue.

Received 2 days ago - "Our systems indicate.....etc...etc.." ..........but they were spot on with card expiry date. How could they have known this??? And they had sent it to the 4 phones connected by this card!!!

Ha got it too! Um, correct spelling and grammar might be useful tools in a scam... May just be me but word to the supposedly wise scammers. Come on, make it more challenging.

Scam!! These clowns think they are funny buggers sadly some people get sucked in and hand over personal details. If it looks dodgy then it probably is!

Got the call with exact same message today. My card doesn't expire for another 5 months so was suspicious especially as no caller info etc.

Exact quote revieved 18th Jan 2017 "Our systems indicate that the creditcard used to recharge yr prepaid services is about to expire.Pls update with new card details for topups to continue." I'm on prepaid' and my card is fairly new, usually anything I get from Telstra or Centerlink or whoever has the name appear as well as the message. Anything with no callback instructions or incorrect spelling should be taken with caution.
