Crypto and Tax Scams from Spoofed Calls
Summary — +61480089451
Expert Opinion
Like chameleons in the telecom jungle, these callers morph identities to snag your trust—gas companies one minute, Telstra or NBN the next. Reports paint a clear picture of scammers using spoofed Caller IDs to push fake upgrades, crypto schemes, tax debts, or account takeovers, often with accents that range from polished to faltering. They quote personal details to seem legit, but stories crumble under scrutiny. Hang up immediately on unsolicited tech or reward offers; never share passwords, 2FA codes, or verification info. Block the number, report to authorities like the ACCC or your carrier, and enable spam filters for peace of mind. If details were exposed, monitor accounts closely and consider a credit freeze.

A fraudster pretended to be from Telstra, offering a 'gift for your loyal service' and a discount on your bill. They requested personal details to deliver the package. I naïvely provided the info and clicked the link after the call. Soon after, Telstra sent a one‑time code email, and the scammers called to obtain it. I realized the scheme in time.
A number attempted to reach Telstra to hijack my line. I later got a legit Telstra text confirming a change I never requested, so I alerted them right away. They took it seriously and will report it to the authorities. Stay alert – my new phone was only a week old.
Although the caller ID displayed a gas company, the call was actually a scam from a fake NBN representative, claiming my modem needed an upgrade to achieve faster speeds, which was not credible.
The caller ID indicated Oil And Gas Limited, but the conversation was about Coin Spot Crypto exchange, and they attempted to solicit my password and 2FA details, which is a scam.
