Caller: supposedly NBN

This was supposedly nbn calling to tell me my internet connection was slow and to run a speed test. The caller couldn't answer when I asked why my service provider hadn't contacted me on this and became ratty when I asked for details on how I could verify her. She gave me a long code which she wanted me to enter into my PC operating system. Highly, highly dodgy. She gave a number to call to verify her 1800 626 636 - to also be avoided!

Requesting approval or rejection of a PayPal payment.

Caller: scammer pretending to be a NBN provider

refer to post by Anonymous Posted on December 21, 2023 Caller type: Scam call Location: Australia. Female called Rose with an accent called several times on our landline saying our NBN needed to be upgraded. She requested that I do a speed test immediately because an NBN technician was waiting for this information. I asked for a call back number to verify she provided 18006266361 which is not available or not available from a mobile phone (I was calling from a landline). I asked for a ref for call - she did not provide this. I checked with our service provider and they said our NBN service was OK. Apparently 1800 626 636 has some connection to the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and attractions in WA or gov library in WA or WA legislative assembly!!!!!!!!!! Can I have a job in investigating scammers - I would love to sink my teeth into them.

automated msg from "paypal" with large transaction to be authorised

Said she was called Amanda from Telstra calling me about issues with my Telstra Internet. I’m not with Telstra. Notified Telstra who confirmed spam caller

Rang number back got automated message to leave a name and number. Checked this number now I know its a dodgy scammer

Received a call from this number, saying that they were from the technical department of Telstra and that someone was hijacking my Internet. Scam caller

Someone called from this number but when I answered the call, immediately hung up, so I have queried this number. Sounds very dodgy and not to be trusted.

Claimed to be from Telstra, want to tell me about special deals. Hung up went I asked what my account number was.

Number called impersonating Telstra and saying money was owed on internet service bills. When i told them that Telstra is not my ISP they hung up.

Recorded message saying there was a $700 gift card purchase on my Paypal account (which I don't have). Press 1 to authorise or 2 to connect to an operator. I hung up.

No message left. I did have a call last week from a woman claiming to be from the Commonwealth Bank telling me that my account was being overdrawn and giving instructions. Wouldn't let me speak. When I managed to interrupt her and ask for her name and number so that I could call her back to verify she hung up.

Wanting a banking authority declined to answer when questioned
