Caller: A scammer pretending to be from Telstra

Indian guy galled me at work, said he was from Telstra and there's was a high amount of data coming from my connection. It sounded dodgy as hell, I asked him what his name was again and he hung up.

Claimed to be Telstra & wishing for me to check my internet connections for multiple unauthorised users, I later phoned Telstr and no one from them made a call to me at all.
This is a scammer

Caller: Said it was Telstra technical department

Hindu accent. I told them he wasnt from Telstra and to stop calling. Got sick of these calls. The phone number said it was from Curramulka, South Australia. And Im from Queensland.

Caller: Pests

technical dept of Telstra telling e I have errors on my laptop. Asked where she was and she said 242 exhibitions street. I asked what floor as I had once worked there in the telephone department and she knew id rumbled her so she said come to the floor to get my laptop fixed and hung up

Indian scammer pretending to be from Telstra Technical Services

Indian accent. Long delay after I answered which usually means an international call. Told me he was from Telstra Technical Support but hung up as soon as I said he had called a company.

The scammers now have the ability to ring us showing a false number in our caller id.
Optus advices this number is disconnected, yet they rang me

Caller: Unidentified male

The callers on this number are scam artists. They claim to be from Telstra and convince old people they have an Internet issue they can fix. Then they get the receiver of the call to access the Internet on a computer and then load a payload on the computer to gain remote access & control.

They access passwords that may be saved on the computer of a financial nature and try to gain control of any accessible online bank accounts. They even trick the unknowing victim to pass on the second level authentication SMS after resetting their internet banking password.

They ask the victim to buy an iTunes card online with a credit card presumably to record its details. Also they claim to want to deposit $10000 from Telstra into your bank account which they later want removed and paid into another bank account.... interesting story.

Beware these people are total tricksters aiming to fleece people of their money. Lucky the receiver of this call woke up after several hours on the phone there was something strange going on.

Finally with the payload you lose control of your computer by them installing a secondary non-Windows password. The only way around this was to perform a system recovery.

Be careful - these crooks sound very believable and convince people they are saving them from hackers when in fact they are the hackers themselves.

Called twice five minutes apart. Engaged signal when I returned call. Blocked!

called and hung up after answering
