lowlife scumbag scammer - reported

Caller: (02) 8070 2203 SCAM CALLER -> NOT TELSTRA

SCAM CALL. Have phoned my landline 3 times today. I have an answering machine & the 3rd time they called they played their msg about this not being a scam call, but an important call from TELSTRA, etc... I don't have any accounts with Telstra nor is my name Caroline Davenport.

**There is actually a listing on here from Telstra Customer Security & Support from April 14, 2021:

Telstra Customer Security & Support
April 14, 2021 Scam call Australia

Caller: Fraudulent enterprise

"Definitely not a call from Telstra, as all customers have accounts that require secure access, to which, when entered, enables full control of the customer account, including bill payment.
If possible, never give out or enter credit card information or any other personal data when you accept a call, phone numbers can be spoofed, even links provided by scam emails can lead you to very convincing fake websites, and for those who don't know if even this site can be trusted, read the disclaimer at the very bottom: anyone can enter information on here, claim that it was the cops that called you and urge you to pay.
Worst case scenario, visit any of their customer care shops to be certain.
For those who got a call and was instantly hung up on, even calls asking you to press a key on your phone, that would have been scammers confirming that there's a person on the other end of the number, before they give it out to their team/s to attempt to defraud you of your money.
Stay safe, everyone."

Pretty sure this is legiit, if it was a scammer they did pretty good knowing my personal details and how much was due on my account. Seems it is an error at Telstra to receive the call as the direct debit was paid automatically 2 weeks ago (confirmed)

Telstra say it's cause the system "hasnt caught up yet"

Typical Telstra useless as AF as usual

Caller: Telstra

This number had been calling me for a few weeks and I ignored it, thinking it was a roboscam but I read some of the answers here and then checked and turns out my Telstra bill genuinely overdue so while I'm not saying "ANSWER IT", maybe just check your bill. I didn't answer or give details or anything of course. Companies should probably figure out a new way to contact us I suppose.

Caller: Telstra

Yes its legit, I did have an outstanding amount with them for the amount quoted by this service and it lets you agree to a payment plan, hardly a scam.

This is a scam caller as telstra will only send you a sms or a email.

Caller: Says they're Telstra - (02) 8070 2203

Several calls .. not answered because I had previously blocked this number.

Their call sounds like crap for sure as I always receive my Telstra bills by email & manually recharge my phone.

No reason whatsover they should be calling me .. that's why this number is permanently blocked.

they said they were telstra even had the fuzzy background music and wanted to confirm my birthday. They're back and Telstra should be held accountable for all the loss of private consumer data.

Caller: Telstra

Repeated missed calls from this number. No message ever left so I've ignored. Finally accepted the call to be told its from Telstra. No indication what its about, just press '1". Which, clearly I'm not going to do! Telstra should know better than contacting people this way, if it is, as someone suggested a real query about an unpaid bill. I'm still not going to answer it. They can call me directly, since lets face it they know my number, or send me an email...

Caller: Scammer

Checked with Telstra, not them.
Scam for sure.
