Caller: Telstra scam

Claimed to be able to offer me a 50% discount on my Telstra bill.

Caller: 'Max"

"Max" claimed to be from Telstra, same thing as others here - 50% discount on my bill. Just one thing, I have zero services with Telstra, so I decided to play along, have nothing better to do. "Max" really enjoyed my spelling out my various email addresses, with names like iknowyouarefullofit @ whatever.com. I finally fessed up and told him I knew he wasn't from Telstra and I have no services with them. He didn't seem to mind being caught out, asked me to spell out a few more things for him before he abruptly proposed to me. Honestly.... not sure if that's part of the usual script. Wasn't even deterred when I laughed at him and told him to send a ring first and I'd think about it.
Have some fun with with them, I did lol

Caller: Telstra scam

They knew a lot of my details and were offering a discount and when I told them I email address I got a notification from google someone was trying to access my Gmail, then they wanted my date of birth.

I said I don’t know who you are and they said I’m from Telstra lol

Also the same Indian guy, very hard to understand offering 50% off for next six months. Had the hide to ring back when I hung up. Saying oh yes I know there are many scams. Heads up Telstra will not ring you.... it's hard enough to actually ring them!

The lady said she was from Telstra Why don't Telstra follow the number up

Indian male in extremely noisy office, from Telstra he claimed and can offer a discount on my bill if I verify my email, I said NO every time he asked and he eventually screamed expletives and hung up. 😂

Caller: 0480 067 691

I answered hello.
Indian man said may I please speak with “my nickname” ( I always put a shorted version of my name on competition’s so I know if it’s a scammer)
I said no, because you’re a scammer. He hung up immediately 😂

Caller: Indian scammer

Indian man from Telstra who new my name. Offering me a 50% discount on my account and wanted my email address and was going to send me details. Pity I don't have a Telstra account. 100% scammer!

Caller: I don’t know

Received call at 6:47pm. Picked call and after saying ‘Hello’ , there was a ‘pause! I asked who do you want to talk with in a ‘stern voice and the caller disconnected! Probably an adult using a younger person or ( child) to imitate the call to still check out if your ‘number is an active one’. Could be a scam!

Caller: I don’t know

Picked up the call. Slight pause! Asked who was calling after someone like a ‘child’ spoke but was hard to hear and decipher what was being said. Not sure if this is a ‘scam’ . With so many scams happening right now, there is a possibility that ‘adults’ may be using younger children to call in order to still collect information about people etc etc. This may be a scam call trying to check if your number is an ‘active’ number! Beware!
