Expert Opinion
Looks like you’ve been hit by a classic Telstra impersonation scam. The caller pretended to be a Telstra tech, even throwing out weird jargon about IP addresses and using a fake employee name. They’ll usually try to scare you into giving personal details or paying a bogus fee. If you ever get a call like this, hang up immediately and verify by calling the official Telstra number yourself. Never share passwords, account numbers, or payment info with unsolicited callers. Keep your call log, block the number, and report it to the ACCC or your phone provider’s fraud team. Stay skeptical and protect your data.
