The analysis of the calls made by +61438820479 reveals a pattern of suspicious behavior, with multiple reports of the caller claiming to be from Telstra, a Australian telecommunications company, but exhibiting characteristics of a scam. Many callers have reported difficulty understanding the caller's accent, and the caller's requests for personal information, such as email addresses, raise security concerns. The fact that the caller is offering discounts on Telstra bills, but is unable to provide correct information or send emails to the correct address, further supports the conclusion that this is a scam. The repeated calls to the same individuals, despite being declined or blocked, also suggests a nuisance caller.
Scammers on the line seek to steal your finances or private information, employing real callers, robocalls, or SMS messages as tactics.
Someone posing as a Telstra representative offered a 40% discount that seemed too good to be true. She asked for verification of my details, which I refused—amusing how they expect you to verify yourself while making such shady offers!
The call appeared to originate from central Queensland, but I’m convinced it’s a fraudulent operation.
A woman from India pretended to work for Microsoft and asked me for a verification code. When I requested the account holder’s name she refused until I gave the code. The message appeared to be from Microsoft, but I declined, missing out on a 30% discount – it felt like a classic scam.
An Indian‑accented scammer claimed to represent Telstra, which is obviously false.
The caller, speaking with an Indian accent, said they were from Telstra. Their manner seemed dubious and unprofessional.
Previously I received a similar call from Indian scam centers that had somehow accessed Telstra’s website, making the offer appear legitimate. They promised a 50% loyalty discount and a new email address for bill payment, mimicking Telstra’s invoice after hacking an account. I reported it to Telstra, who restored my original email. Acting quickly prevented any loss. If you encounter such calls, demand the specific Telstra office or department, city, and state, and never disclose personal identifiers like birthday, licence, or passport. Scammers usually hang up when you turn the tables. A YouTube video shows an American exposing these Indian hackers; many work legitimate jobs by day and scam by night. Ask numerous questions and they’ll eventually quit. Note: Telstra never initiates calls to customers. – Brian

Apparently, the represantive had dificulty comunicating efectively due to her strong accent.
