Scam

I answered a call from this number, which supposedly originated from Buffalo, Victoria. However, when I picked up, the caller hung up. When I tried to return the call, I was told the number was unavailable due to "temporary service difficulties." This number appears to have been phished.

Suspicious

I experienced a lengthy wait before the call was answered by someone with a heavy accent, which suggested it was a call center. When I expressed skepticism about having an NBN issue, the caller abruptly hung up. This behavior was very rude! Fortunately, my router (Fritz) allows me to block multiple numbers at once, so I will be preventing this caller from reaching me again.

Suspicious

The call I received went to voicemail, but as soon as the recording started, the caller hung up. This behavior is often characteristic of telemarketers or scam callers.

I received a call from this number without a voicemail, and my iPhone indicated that the call came from Ballarat, Victoria.

Fake Telstra spam call about my 'ip address' being turned from private to public.
