Legit looking SMS supposedly from Hills Technology Solutions. Basically, wanting you to confirm by return text “Yes” for a “re-pan/swapout” of your NBN outdoor/indoor unit the very next day. Which might sound impressive but technically is just rubbish. Plus wanting to do the "work" the very next day is very much a red flag. The 1300 723 585 number given is for Hills Technical Services – a legitimate company. I contacted my ISP and they knew nothing about it. They also said that any such NBN infrastructure work is always advised days/weeks in advance by email.

Caller: Supposedly telstra agent

They want to update my nbn. Cannot call back, saying disconnected. Supposedly, agent for Telstra, Hills Business name, Teltra never heard of them. Have legitimate sounding 1300 but still know it's a scam.

Hills Technology claiming to work for nbn, to come next day to swap antenna and indoor box as an nbn upgrade. Very suspicious and short notice. Feel this is a scam.

The text messages look legitimate but there's a time pressure to accept the appointment (first red flag), the want to come out within 48hrs of the text being sent (how about no/second red flag), and the text reads like there isn't an option to decline (never respond/click on a link even if it's to 'opt out'). They don't have a website or shopfront. Block and report as spam.

checked with my provider this is a legitimate request the 1300 number is busy but they do answer.

very convincing looking text re Hills wanting to visit to swap out nbn equipment

Say from Hills for NBN, wanting to come into the house and outdoor to do a change of equipment, but Hills is not on the NBN providers list. It has a we page also with 1.2 stars out of 5.

Caller: Hills

They are the contract management agents for NBN Co. arrange NBN install remote locations.
