(02) 5303 1557

At 12:07 PM on March 9, 2024, I received a call from a female who identified herself as Clara. She had a Chinese accent and claimed to be working for the Telstra Technical Department.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Telstra, insisting they needed access to my computer to fix a supposed access attack. When I confronted them, they mentioned they would lodge a report and then hung up. The accent sounded Indian, which added to my suspicion.

Automatically blocked but has been 1 of 5 "potential fraud" calls today alone from various numbers. Before that, I hadn't had any in months!

Interestingly, I had to make a credit card inquiry to my bank yesterday and call center is offshore. Have been told the call centers staff sell phone numbers to scammers for extra money and from today am a believer......

I received a call on my mobile phone, but they did not leave a message. I suspect this might be a scam call.

When I answered the call, there was a short pause followed by a pre-recorded message beginning to play.

An Indian woman called me saying that my IP address is public and is somehow a problem. She wanted me to check my IP address right away, but I informed her that I was at work and unable to do so. I asked her to send me an email instead, and she abruptly hung up. After researching, I found out that having a public IP address is not an issue; her intentions remain unclear but seem suspicious.

I received a call from a number based in Bathurst. The caller sent a message in both English and Chinese, trying to pressure me into agreeing to something, which felt threatening. I strongly believe this is a scam and suggest that the authorities should take action to arrest and deport such individuals after they have served time.

This number is definitely a scam. When I called back, it informed me that the voicemail box was full, which is suspicious.

While I was listening to music via Bluetooth, the audio was interrupted by a woman who announced, "Veergo (02) 5303 1557." The call then went silent, and after about 7 rings, it ended.

I received a call from this number, but they did not leave a message. I suspect it to be a scam, so I have blocked the number.

I received a suspicious call from someone claiming to be from Telstra, but the call originated from Bathurst, NSW while I am located in Victoria. The caller seemed uninformed and unprofessional, raising doubts about the legitimacy of the call.

The caller claimed to be from Westpac bank, asking if I had attempted a transaction in New Zealand.

I received a call from a number that was not saved in my contacts. The caller ID indicated that the call was coming from Bathurst, NSW.

I received an automated message claiming there was an unauthorized transaction on my credit card. When I pressed 1 as instructed, I was connected to an Indian scam center, indicating this is likely a scam.

I received a call from this number today on my mobile phone. The caller claimed to be from PayPal, but I believe it was a scam for sure.

I received a call from a number based in Bathurst, which delivered a recorded message stating that my PayPal account had been hacked. I did not trust the call, so I terminated it and subsequently blocked the number.

The caller claimed to represent Visa Debit Card Security. They informed me that someone had supposedly purchased an Amazon gift card worth $199 at 5 AM. When I mentioned that I don’t own a Visa Debit Card, they hung up immediately. This call seems suspicious.

During my call with this person, I could hear birds and children in the background, which made it sound unprofessional. The caller claimed to be from Visa/MasterCard security but wouldn't specify who they wanted to speak to, and after repeatedly asking for clarification, they hung up unexpectedly.

The caller claimed they were from PayPal, stating that $799 had been paid out and that they had already contacted my husband, who unfortunately does not have a PayPal account. This raised red flags for me, and I firmly believe this was a scam.

This number appears to be a scam. I recommend blocking it immediately and not engaging with them at all. It’s better to avoid any communication, even a minimal response.

The call came from a number listed as originating from Bathurst, NSW. The caller claimed to be with Bigpond and alarmingly stated that my email and phone number had been compromised. I thanked them and said I would verify the situation with my phone company, then hung up.

I was contacted by someone pretending to be from eBay customer service.

This number called shortly after I received other calls from known scam numbers. No voicemail was left, and it appears to be a Bathurst area code.

I strongly suspect this call was from a scammer. They were trying to get me to agree to something I wasn’t comfortable with, but I just kept denying their requests. After some persistence, they eventually hung up on me.

I received a call from an unknown number that isn't stored in my contacts. I suspect this is a scammer trying to elicit a response. I encourage others to report any similar calls to lookup sites, as we can all benefit from sharing this information to protect each other.
