Caller: "Peter"

Just got off the phone from a lovely guy, "Peter" with thick Indian accent who kindly informed to me that my Telstra internet is being shared by others and has been hacked for illegal activities. He asked me to open Google to check the IP address. Unfortunately, I did not know what Google was, so he transferred me to another Indian guy for technical support. This guy was very knowledgeable and informed that my internet was being used by someone from Mount something in California and whether I knew someone there - obviously, I did not. So he asked me to go to Google or Safari - I got very scared at this and I told him so as there are lots of tigers in safari and people get eaten up there by the tigers. He assured me it was not real safari, but something called browser...At this point, I was concerned about his safety as well given he did not appreciate the dangers in safari - I pleaded with him for him not to go to safari as well because the tigers may eat him. He seemed to get frustrated for some reason and asked me to play with the tigers and then hung up. SO RUDE!!!

Awesome 😎 must try that ploy myself.

Caller: Scammer

Another scammer.
Why is it so hard to report scam calls to Telstra?

Caller: Spam

Said he was from PayPal security department hahahaha

Caller stated that he was Paul Smith from Telstra Headquarters, I laughed and said that Telstra don't have a headquarters and he called me all sorts of naughty names in a Indian/Pakistani accent. Such a rude man. Love it when you make them angry. I feel so much better now thank you.LOL
On a serious note: I know that these scammers spoof phone numbers but I'd like to know why our Telcos can't back trace where these numbers are coming from. Instead of wasting millions paying the CEO's at Telstra and other Australian Telco's for doing nothing, they should improve their software and hardware to make their communications networks safer for their paying customers.
If you get scammed but one of these lowlifes in Mumbai you should be able to sue your Telco for poor customer care. Maybe then they would make an effort to do something about this garbage that festers in their communications networks.

Caller: Scammer

Requesting I press 1 to speak to customer service regarding the cancellation of my Amazon Prime order.

Caller: Scammer

Woman claimed to be from Telstra, saying I could get a 40% discount. I told her I am not a Telstra customer. She claimed it must be a technical glitch, then ended the call

They are at it again!? My telco identified this as potential scam, so I did not answer the call...

Scammer said from "Telstra" spouting jibberish about IP addresses being changed to public and needing to make it private again got mad at me when I told him he was talking nonsense

hang up call - didn't leave a message

Caller: An Indian lady from Telstra

Just got off the phone from a lovely lady with thick Indian accent who kindly informed to me that my Telstra internet is being shared by others and has been hacked for illegal activities.
She claimed from Telstra Melbourne, but the phone number seems from Perth... Obviously, she doesn't have the intellectual level to scam me...

I missed a scam hoax phone call from (08) 6186 7577 & they left a message saying press one for English and press two for Chinese so I blocked this phone number

Caller: Indian Person

The telcos can do something - but they are making money from these callers - little to no incentive to actually do something about it

Caller: "Telstra

Something about my internet. I dont have Telstra.

They called and didn't leave a message

Caller: Indian male

Initial message said my Amazon was up for renewal and I wanted to cancel press 1. Pressed 1, Indian male spoke. He asked about my computer. I hung up. So tiring and frustrating and ongoing high number of phone and email scams.

Scam. Phishing. Do mot answer. Do not give personal info.

Caller: Scammer trying to phish

Do not answer. Scam.

It was a txt message that was blocked by my phone....obviously scam.

Caller: Ebay

My number is a business phone and we do not deal with ebay.
He said it was about an order I placed.
I think this number has been hijacked.
