0480 044 507 has been reported multiple times as a scam number pretending to be Telstra. If you receive a call from this number, it's crucial to hang up immediately. Read on for effective ways to handle such calls and protect your information.

In recent user reports, 0480 044 507 / 0480044507 has emerged as a notorious phone number associated with scam activities. According to several complaints, the callers impersonate representatives from Telstra, claiming that the victim's internet connection and IP address have been compromised. This type of scam, often referred to as "tech support scams," is designed to instil fear and urgency, pressuring unsuspecting victims into divulging sensitive information.

Typically, the callers have a thick accent and insistently ask the victim to reveal personal details such as IP addresses or portable numbers under the pretext of "fixing" compromised information. Reports indicate that callers resort to aggressive tactics, including yelling and swearing when victims hang up, aimed at coercing compliance from frightened individuals.

It's vital for anyone receiving a call from this number to remain cautious. Here are a few recommended steps on how to handle such calls:

  • Do not engage with the caller: Hang up immediately if you suspect the call is a scam.
  • Do not provide personal information: Legitimate companies like Telstra will never ask for sensitive information over the phone in this manner.
  • Block the number: After hanging up, ensure you block the number to prevent further contact.
  • Report the incident: Report the number to the appropriate authorities such as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) or SCAMwatch.

This number, along with similar numbers from which the same alleged "Telstra" representative has reportedly called, highlights a growing trend in scam operations in Australia. Protecting your personal information is paramount, and awareness about such scams can help reduce their prevalence over time. Tools like Reverseau's Reverse Phone Lookup Australia can assist in identifying unknown numbers and confirming their credibility.

Stay vigilant and educate yourself on the tactics used by scammers to ensure your safety and security.

Scam

Caller claimed to be from Telstra advising my IP address was compromised and all my passwords had been exposed.

The female called with a very thick indian accent told me to put my phone on speaker so that I could read out my phone ID and my IP address (just so she could “double check” it). I told her I had nothing to do with Telstra and hung up.

No sooner had I hung up and blocked the number, I received another call (from a slightly different number) from the same female demanding to know why I hung up on her.

Scam

I received a call from this number. Could hear like a very busy call centre in the background. Male caller had indian accent and said his name was “Norm”. Told me he was from Telstra and my IP address had been compromised. He also called me by a name of who is unknown to me. He wanted me to put my phone on speaker so I could talk to him and read out my IP address and my broadband address. I then hung up. He then called me again via another number - 0480 041 018 and started yelling at me saying “why did you f-ing hang up on me? This is important”. I hung up again, and before I could block the second number, he called me again and hurled abuse and continued to yell and swear at me. I again hung up, and was called AGAIN by a third number (0480 045 701), where I just hung up. He called again for a fourth time (0480 047 104) and screamed down the phone “stop f-ing hanging up on me”. I again hung up and he called back on 0480 045 701 (I didn’t have time to block this after he called from this number prior). No sooner had I blocked that number, I had a sixth call on 0480 047 611 again yelling at me “this is f-ing important bitch, stop hanging up on me”
