This is a scammer (sounded like an Indian accent). Claimed to be from Telstra and telling that my internet line was in danger. He gave me what he told me was my IP address that was being compromised. I don't have Telstra and when I challenged him on what he was saying, he hung up.

This number called me, said they were from commonwealth bank and that they saw some suspicious activity and money had been transferred to an American account. I then said I bank with westpac just to see where they were going with this call and then they tried to say that commonwealth is headquarters for westpac and that my local branch would not be able to help me.

Tried to get time to download an app called Zoho Assist Customer and log into my bank and do card less cash.
