First an Indian‑accented lady answered, then passed me to her supervisor with the same drawl, claiming to be Telstra and that my internet was hacked and foreign actors were stealing my identity. They pushed me to log onto my PC and follow steps—total scam, man.

Expert Opinion
Approach calls from unfamiliar numbers with skepticism, especially those spoofing local providers. Reports consistently describe persistent attempts posing as Telstra support, claiming internet or virus issues to gain remote access—classic hallmarks of a tech support scam. Accents from India and scripted pitches raise red flags, as legitimate companies like Telstra use Australian staff and won't demand immediate computer control. Block the number immediately, report to authorities like the ACCC, and never share personal details or allow screen sharing. If they leave no message or hang up, that's another evasion tactic. Hang up and verify directly with the real company via official channels to stay safe.

I hit the voicemail and they just cut the call, for real.
Someone claimed to be from Telstra with a foreign accent, asking about my NBN. I told them I already have an NBN account, and they just hung up. A proper rep wouldn't end the call like that, so it smells like a scam, bro, yep.
I noticed the caller spoke with an Indian accent; while I don't hold any bias against Indians, many turn out to be scammers. He claimed to represent Telstra and said people were using my internet. I told him it sounded like a hoax and hung up.

Reached the answering machine but didn’t drop a message, lol.
A woman with an Indian accent read a Telstra script about my internet issue; I told her to stop wasting my time, no offense.

Lately this number keeps ringing over the past few months, but it seems shady, so I just ignore it, bro, hey.
They called me twice during the day and again at night; I answered the second ring. A lady with a foreign accent claimed to be from Telstra about my internet, and I told her an Aussie should call, not someone overseas – sounds like a scam, honestly.
When I mentioned being busy and asked about NBN problems, the scammers suggested Telstra could dispatch a technician before abruptly ending the call.
