Person was pretending to be from Telstra, threatening phone need to be updated to NBN. He requested a delivery fee be paid for a new equipment to be sent out for the Technician to connect.

Person claiming to be from NBN. Story was that they were upgrading the phone lines to fibre to the house for FREE and that they were doing it now in my street. They wanted me to do a speed check to see how bad my internet was. This REEKED of a SCAM. While I did run a speed check (they wanted to know the upload, download and ping numbers) but would not give it to them until I got the person's employee number of D850043 and a name of "William" and they gave me this number to call back on. I deliberately DID NOT give them the number but said I would call them back on the number and ask for them.

Surprise surprise - the phone number didn't work

What a waste of time

Person claiming to be from Telstra. He said they had noticed a problem with our NBN and out copper wiring needed to be upgraded. We asked for his phone number so we could call him back (as we thought this was a scam). He got angry and a said we needed to book a technician. He reluctantly gave us this phone number 1800 626 687 when we persisted we wanted to call him back. He became quite rude and persistent when we didn't play his game.
