Caller: not iiNet

Number likely spoofed by scammers.
Got a call from this number a few days after our internet was upgraded to Fibre. The guy had an accent and didn't know my name and said he won't ask for personal details unless it's required for the transaction (what ever that means).

No background noise, it was just him. He said I'm going to be having 2 appointments where 'the copper is turned into fibre" - meaning my internet service will be upgraded from FTTN to FTTP. It had already been done though.
He then said I have a cancellation. I said "of what?". That threw him and he got all confused and didn't know what to say.
Clearly if he was from iiNet, he'd have known my name and have my services up in front of him.
I called him out on his BS and hung up.

Be careful when getting a call from this number, ask them questions they should know. If in any doubt, call iiNet back on the number on their website.

Best comment of the lot!! I doubt even a masochist can take their customer service!!

Caller: iinet

Number keeps calling. As it is a business I have to answer but nothing and call then drops out. Been happening for a number of days now. Really frustrating!!

Caller: iinet I'm assuming

It was the same for me as well I had sent a support email and instead I get this call at 7 am in the morning waking me up! No message was left but I'm assuming from what You have said that it was iinet. I agree if I wanted to speak with them on the phone I would've rang! The email explains everything they just need to respond! I don't want to discuss the issue over the phone!

Very obviously NOT a legitimate iiNet phone number, and you can't accuse iiNet of poor service on the basis of the activities of scammers!

Cold calling in 2024 is pathetic. Its not 1981. iinet have great service but harassing people whist they are at work via a cold call is pretty poor.

Suspect it was a result from an enquiry I had made to sign up with iiNet

Because of the attitude and approach of the sales person who spoke rapidly. repeating himself and tho I have no experience at all with drugs, I would not have been surprised by his speech, speed of talking and lack of empathy that he was under the influence of a pretty powerful additive.

Nett effect was that I declined to go with iiNet, though I had previously been with iiNet (originally signing when it was being run out of his garage by the original developer -- being involved in some general discussion groups. (Getting old and can no longer remember his name, but know it was a great setup and he made squillions in selling it) (and Internode (to which my IT qualified son signed me up because he reckoned it provided better options) for some 20 years without any problems; very satisfied customer until the Internode/iiNet absorption.
Nett result was that I spoke with and ultimately signed with Aussie Broadband. Only been connected for less than a week but so far would acknowledge that Aussie is living up to its positive reputation.
Just re-read this; a bit convoluted but hope that brighter minds than mine will make sense of it.

Caller: iiNet

iiNet following up on technical support

Caller: High chance you have a scammer!

ALERT! Hang up and call your internet / phone provider! ALERT!

This number is spoofed by a scammer, you should contact your telco immediately!

After calling iinet support and checking their records I have found out that 80% of the calls from this number have infarct been scammers faking this number by spoofing it.

Just received a call from this number, they hung up as soon as I answered, but I am thinking that even though the number is iinet, as per the previous comments, I get the feeling the number may have been "hijacked" as I am customer of innet & never had an issue before.

Caller: iInet

I'm with iInet and my internet keeps dropping out. I have to call them every few weeks to get them to fix it, last night I made the usual call to a Filipino worker in Manilla with broken English to report dropouts. Today I got a useless follow up call and now I'm getting silent calls from this number. This company has become garbage since outsourcing their customer care.

Caller: Iinet

I am an Iinet customer. This number called me daily for over a month. When I finally answered they tried to sign me up to upgrading my internet and offer me mobile phone plans. I asked to be contacted after 5 while I was not at work, they called me back 2 hours later at 3pm. Nuisance calls like this and the constant pestering has made me reconsider staying with Iinet

These people are supposed to be iinet but when I answer I either get a call tone because it's being redirected or it hangs up at this point I'm blocking because they are just time wasters.

Missed their call, so called back. Got answering machine from iiNet. I believe it is genuine. But since I have no outstanding complaint with them (other than that I will leave them now that they no longer do email addresses) it must have been a sales call to promote their freestanding NBN dongle thingy. Not appreciated as it was a call in the middle of the day, when people are being paid to do their job, not hang on the phone listening to sales calls.

Caller: (08) 6263 6363

3 unsolicited calls and never left a message - I won't call back until they leave a message to tell me what it is about

They called twice now blocked

Caller: iiNet apparently

They call me 2-4 times a day every day!! If I answer they don’t speak. If I call them back I get an automated message saying they’re iiNet but I feel like it’s a scam? Others are saying it’s real so fair enough but either way they need to leave me the hell alone.

This number called but did not leave a message. Maybe it was iinet but they didnt ask me to call back, so I wont call back .

Caller: Claiming to be iinet

When I answer, it says iinet. Called the real Iinet and they said this isn't a registered number and to block them. That number isn't the real iinet.

I didn't answer. I don't answer numbers I don't know. I haven't logged a complaint with iinet/Western. Though I do have one. I still receive email through them but I can't send emails.
I think it's time to dump the
