Telstra Impersonation Scam Alert!
Summary — +61404248516
Expert Opinion
Reported incidents highlight a persistent scam tactic where fraudsters impersonate Telstra representatives to trick recipients into allowing remote computer access. They often cite fabricated issues like a network switching from private to public, a classic ploy to install malware or steal data. Only one detailed account exists here, but it aligns with widespread warnings from cybersecurity sources about such tech support scams. Hang up immediately if approached with unsolicited tech fixes—never share access or personal info. Verify concerns directly via official Telstra channels using known contact numbers from their website. Enable call blocking on your device and report suspicious calls to authorities like the ACCC in Australia to help curb these threats.
