It's an automated scam call pretending to be Telstra

The call suggests its Telstra but then uses tactics to phish for personal details. Seems like a scam to me. I have been a Telstra customer for years and this has been the first one of these calls I've ever received. Telstra usually contacts customers with people and not automated messages or by email.

Caller: they said Telstra

I answered the call to be told to press 1. I hung up

Caller: Telstra

I have just confirmed with Telstra that this is a legitimate call. They call because there is an overdue amount on your bill. It is a recorded message, and I have had these before.

Caller: Scamming bumpkin with a head like a pumpkin and a pip for a brain.

Definitely a scam call pretending to be Telstra, just like the other scam calls pretending to be the ATO, banks, light globe swappers, etc, etc.

My bill is direct debited, they dont call.

Caller: They say Telstra!

The caller purports to be from Telstra, but cannot provide a related phone number. Only a unrecognised account number. Telstra support state that I do not have any outstanding debt. This is a Telstra support company scam, trying it on.

This is Telstra reminding you to pay your bill or that your number will be cut off because of an out standing bill

I blasted Telstra about this to the point I was put through to some female schmuck in the Phillipines. I have PTSD so it didn’t take long for her to hang up on me.. In essence they asked if I wanted to extend paying my bill (which was incorrect anyway) in one days time or a week or even26 days... pretty much spok to a human and said I’m contesting the bill please look up the details of the direct debit I have in place with your retarded company.... couldn’t sleek to he supervisor and all she could do was accept a credit card payment.... any as I said the conversation ended pretty quick after that . Another kind story on the my Telstra App but in short I managed to message with a human who said the Direct debit was in place and not to give the automated calls any personal details.... So Telstra... get your sh*t in one sock

If it’s Telstra our bill payment are on Automatic, normally they send a text message with concerns etc.

Want you to believe it is from Telstra so you give them your bank account details then they take what they can

Really? Legit? How many people would look up this number on here just to say it's legit ... I think everyone saying it's legit is part of the scam. Best case scenario it's just telemarketers harvesting phone numbers.

Call Telstra direct to check your account.

Caller: not Telstra

I don't even have a Telstra account so how can I have an outstanding account. It's definitely a scam.

Received today

Caller: Telstra

Funny how when you need telstra help you literally cannot reach them.

They’re happy to call incessantly when they want their bills paid!

Actually I got this number calling on my Internet phone and I am not with Telstra so it is a SCAM

Called them back and it said a message from Telstra. Press 1, then they said important message for (blah blah which was me), press 1. When I pressed 1 again the call disconnected. I tried about four times, same result.

Caller: Telstra

It’s a legit Telstra call regarding payment.

Not a scam. If you press 1 to confirm your name it will tell you how much is owing on your overdue bill.

Caller: Scammer

Missed a call but got a robotic voicemail saying "not a telemarketing call".

My phone identified it as a scam call as well.

Caller: (02) 8070 2203

If it would be Telstra, why they want to tell me to pay my prepaid bill. This is spam.

Caller: Tesltra automated billing service

Totally legit, you can't get a call from this if you do not have a Telstra account. The automated service checks your DOB and details before asking for overdue payment.
