Expert Opinion
Clearly, most of the anecdotes describe callers posing as Telstra and warning of bogus internet or electricity errors. These impersonators aim to harvest personal details or simply annoy recipients. Hang up immediately, avoid sharing any account numbers or passwords, and consider blocking the number on your phone. Verify any service issues by contacting Telstra directly through official channels—not the callback number. Report the incident to your carrier’s spam‑call protection service and, if the caller demanded sensitive information, file a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission or your local police. Staying skeptical of unsolicited tech‑support warnings can keep you safe from similar scams.
