When I answered, the caller, speaking with a foreign accent, said he was from Telstra regarding my internet service. After I gave directions, I hung up and blocked the number.

Expert Opinion
When a +61 number drops a hushed, foreign‑accented script claiming to be from a major ISP, it often signals a classic social‑engineering ploy. Callers typically mimic brand names like Telstra to harvest personal details or coerce payment. The pause and vague instructions are red flags, especially if you never initiated contact. Blocking the source, as you did, is prudent; consider adding it to a call‑filtering app and never disclose account numbers over unsolicited calls. If you suspect a breach, contact the genuine provider through verified channels—not the caller’s line—to verify any alleged issues.
