One contributor has reported receiving a call from 02 7248 0646 (also written as 0272480646) where the caller claimed to be Sebastian from Telstra's technical support department. This report falls under our impersonation category, where callers falsely claim affiliation with legitimate service providers to gain access to personal or account information.

The call to 0272480646 is particularly concerning because it targets trust in a well-known Australian telecommunications provider. Telstra impersonation scams often involve callers claiming there's a technical issue, security problem, or billing matter requiring immediate attention or verification of details.

What the Caller Claimed
