Quiz to qualify for a gift card, goes on and on, charged $90. If this is not yet unlawful it ought to be. Outrageous Woolworths!

This phone number is currnetly linked to an email scam regarding a giveaway promotion for Dan Murphy's. Following the email link takes you to a web page with Dan Murphy's branding that has this phone number. When you call it starts charging your phone account at about $3.50 per minute and up to $99. I hung up as soon as I heard this. I phoned Dan Murphy's who said if it didn't have a Dan Murphy's web address (danmurphys.com.au) its certainly a scam. The web address was murphys-giveaway.quiz-competition.com. It appears from previous comments that Telstra should know this is a scam organisation and they should have should shut this line down long ago. I am going to be pretty pissed at Telstra if I get slugged for this call

i had an email in my spam with this number for a woolworths gift card. i knew it was a scam as soon as i saw that there is a toll charge. never known for woolworths to charge customers $3 something for calls with a 30min max time limit

A local supermarket offered quite a valuable prize for a draw, which one qualified for by getting all answers correct in a general knowledge quiz. I clicked on the entry button and started answering the questions (every one correct!). Eventually, I noticed that the program was looping, so I became suspicious and closed it down. Only when I received my next Telstra bill, did I realise that the program had rung my landline from a 1902 number and run up a bill of over $90. I contacted my service provider Telstra, who referred the matter to an agency, who offered me a 50% rebate. as their analysis had assumed that I had initiated the call. I declined the offer. I returned to Telstra after a few years with other providers, still using the landline number I had received originally from Telstra. Apart from my concerns about the safety of their system, I am upset that they did not honour my original block on 1902 numbers or ask me if I needed such a block. This matter is still ongoing.

Have been charged by Vodophone

I have received a bill from Telstra when l'm not a Telstra customer for $37.30. Don't know what to do about it. should i pay or not

My telstra bill issued 18 sept 2017 showed 2 calls made 5 sept 11:21 am (22secs) and 11:22 am (25hours) for a total net amount $97. 966 which is more than 1/2 my total bill. I am going to deduct this amount from the bill total. Will be trying to contact testra.

I just put my details in but not my phone number should I be doing this because I think the email is a scam but I don't know if I am right please help me by answering the question

I have received a phone bill from iprimus with a charge of $88.71 + GST for a call I did not make. I called a 1300 number to get a pin number for a competition and that was transferred to this 1900 number. I am going back to iprimus to seek a refund. Be in touch.

I THOUGHT I WAS ENTERING A QUIZ COMPETITION FROM WOOLWORTHS

ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE PHONE CALL WAS CHARGED AT AN EXORBITANT RATE GIVEN THE COMPLAINT HISTORY TELSTRA SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS NUMBER

Telstra has this number 1902 228 173 listed on our bill for $97.00.
I don't believe I made the phone call, but here it is. It looks like the company is for Power Interactive Media.
obviously a scam.
How does telsta justify billing for them?

I have been charged with an amount of $97.69 for a quiz.

I also pay by auto recharge and had a rollover credit of $330.36 and have lost the lot in a matter of 9 days unbeknown to me.
This is soo wrong how telstra and charge us for these calls, I have google the various numbers and are "0" sec . We only use this phone for family and emergency and now I have no roll over credit. I will contact the onbudsman and see if I can get any resolve. pissed off with telstra for sure.

Hi K, Fell for same. Got same arrogant response from Vodafone. Do not pay for this part of your bill. Contact Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman and change provider. Block 1900 numbers on your phone.

Appeared to be winning a Bunnings Gift card, which was bogas. Scam.

Received my May bill with a charge of $101.53 I have been trying to get through to Telstra with a lot of phone calls and explained to them that I did not make the calls they were not helpful in any way I am still in the process of trying to get them to listen to me and they told me that there is no way that they can help me.So I spoke to another chap a case person on the 20.06.17 and he was most helpful the full amount was taken of my bill.

Scam

Scammed after entering Bunnings competition through email I received - which appeared to be legit. Did not even use my mobile which is with Vodafone q:-( but still charged

same here. Noticed a $66 bill for call to that number. No idea what it was...will conact Telstra...although from past experience it takes forever to get things sorted out....
