They call with a recorded message, or sometimes "on behalf of Telstra" with an Indian accent and a lot of background noise, like a hall full of people.

I received 2 calls from this number claiming to be from Telstra Internet Services, This is a scam I phoned Telstra myself on the normal number 132200 and waited in line for my call to responded to.

Telstra claim that this number is a scam to gain access to your computer. Ask for Telstra Employee ID.

I received 3 times a days for the last 2 months from this number, I did not know who they are until I read your guys messages.

Now I know why I get this call every day, because they tried to call me last year, I told them that if they call again I would report to police. Since then they play prank calls to my home numbers every day with the machine with silent sound to revenge, it is so annoying, I hope telstra or police can do something about it to protect us.

I get calls on our home phone from this number day and night, every day at all times of the day.

It is a scam. I have previously reported it to Telstra but nothing can be done about it.

They claim they're from the Telstra technical department and my computer has been downloading harmful viruses/spyware from certain sites and if I don't log into my computer to allow them to fix the problem my internet will be disconnected.

I have abuses these people, I have explained how I know that they're talking shit and I have blown a whistle in their ear (after about 5 phone calls of which I hung up on) and they still call me everyday.

The funny thing is, I haven't had any internet for a few weeks over the Xmas break (as the modem and line has been faulty) and they're still calling me. I was actually on the phone to a Telstra technical consultant tonight to fix my internet when these idiot called me on the home line. I wanted to put them both on speaker and have them talk to eat other but he hung up before I got the chance.
