SCAM BEWARE!
Claimed to represent Telstra, stating that their system is undergoing maintenance, and they needed some 'personal info' to prevent my account from being terminated. I straight up asked if this is a scam, and the caller denied it. I responded that I have no accounts with Telstra, none! Therefore, I accused the caller of partaking in a scam. She responded that this is 'no big deal', to which I replied that it most certainly IS a big deal. She then hung up. Luckily I have no Telstra accounts, so the red flag was obvious.
Scam: saying from Telstra... They were not from Telstra.
Caller claimed to be from Telstra doing account maintenance, very aggressive, demanded personal details
Woman asked for my name to check account, couldn't tell me what name was on file
Caller with Indian accent asked for personal details, seemed inappropriate
Malicious phishing call pretending to be Telstra, spoofed caller ID
Scam call, they hang up if you say you'll report them
Confronted them about their intentions and they hung up on me
