The number 0420 040 274 has been reported as a suspicious telemarketer claiming to represent Telstra. Learn how to handle calls from this number to protect yourself from potential scams.

The phone number 0420 040 274 / 0420040274 has been flagged by users as a suspicious telemarketer attempting to conduct a scam. Recent reports suggest that callers from this number are impersonating Telstra and misleading individuals with false claims regarding internet security or mobile device issues.

In one notable instance, a user reported that the caller stated an alarm had been triggered indicating that their internet was infected with a virus. When the recipient explained that they did not have internet services or a Telstra account, the caller switched tactics, asserting the issue was related to their mobile phone. Such behaviour is a red flag typical of scam operations.

This kind of approach aligns with common tactics utilised by scammers: they often aim to create a sense of urgency and confusion to coerce the recipient into sharing sensitive personal information or financial details. When the user in this case confronted the caller about their legitimacy, the script-wielding scammer abruptly hung up. This abrupt end further suggests the call was not genuine.

Given these alarming reports, 0420 040 274 / 0420040274 should be treated with extreme caution. If you receive a call from this number, here are a few steps you can take:

  • Do not engage: It is advisable to avoid giving any personal information to unknown callers.
  • Hang up: If the call seems suspicious, simply hang up the phone.
  • Report the number: Use services like Reverseau to report the number and check any further user experiences.
  • Verify independently: If you suspect the call is legitimate, look up the organisation in question independently using trusted sources.

In conclusion, phone number 0420 040 274 / 0420040274 should be treated as potentially dangerous and not a legitimate caller from Telstra. Awareness and scepticism are your best tools in protecting yourself from scams. Remaining vigilant and utilising resources like Reverseau through a Reverse Phone Lookup Australia can empower you with knowledge about who really called you in Australia.

Scam

The caller claimed to be from Telstra. When I told her that I don't have an account with them, she insisted that an alarm about a virus was triggered regarding my internet. I informed her that I don’t have internet service, and she then switched to claiming it was about my mobile phone. When I accused her of being a scammer, she hung up.

Scam

Indian Accented Male, trying to tell me that my visa card was being accessed and was asking if I can access my pc or phone to check online amount, and was going to transfer me to another department to check further instructions.

I told him my pc is unavailable, that I was tracing the call, that I have a 36 key character password to which he replied I know. I do not. After stringing him along, he wanted to call back, I replied I will phone the bank now, he then hung up!
