Heard a guy posing as NBN staff saying my modem was busted and he could sort it out – weird that he claimed to be in Melbourne while clearly dialing in from abroad, lol.

Expert Opinion
It's oddly common for scammers to spoof local accents and details while dialing from afar, like this caller pretending to be in Melbourne but operating overseas. The pitch about NBN modem issues screams a classic tech support scam, where fraudsters aim to gain remote access to your computer or extract personal info. Don't engage—hang up immediately if they call again. Block the number and report it to authorities like the ACCC or your phone provider. Enable caller ID apps for better screening, and never share login details or allow remote fixes from unsolicited contacts. Stay vigilant to protect your data and devices.
