Caller 0420 040 362 has been reported as a suspicious individual claiming to represent Telstra. If you're receiving calls from this number, learn how to handle them and protect yourself.

If you've received a call from 0420 040 362, beware, as this number has been flagged as suspicious care of reports from users across Australia. The most recent reported interaction occurred on the 15th of February, 2022, where the individual on the line claimed to be from Telstra, offering potentially concerning information about a security issue with the caller's Wifi router.

In this instance, the caller indicated that there was a breach concerning the user’s internet, supposedly facilitated by an unknown “hacker” from overseas. Users have labelled the situation as "sus" due to several red flags present during the conversation:

  • The caller requested the user to type in a website to verify their Internet Protocol (IP) address – a peculiar request considering that legitimate representatives would typically already have such information.
  • The nature of the inquiry into “security problems” could lead to phishing attempts, where personal data and access could be seized under false pretenses.
  • The identity of the caller remains unverified, and authentic telecommunications entities typically don’t solicit personal information this way.

Given these points, we classify 0420 040 362 as a suspicious number potentially linked to a scam. Individuals receiving calls from this number are advised to:

  • Not share any personal or financial information.
  • Hang up and contact Telstra directly using an official number to confirm any matters about your internet security.
  • Report the number to local authorities or privacy protection groups to help combat such scams.

For additional peace of mind, consider using Reverseau or a Reverse Phone Lookup Australia service to check who called you and protect your privacy more effectively. Awareness is key in safeguarding yourself from potential scams like the one attempted by the individual behind 0420 040 362. Stay vigilant and informed – you never know when a call might not be what it seems!

Suspicious

A man called claiming to be from Telstra, stating there was a security issue with my Wi-Fi router and that someone might have hacked my internet from overseas. He asked me to visit a specific website to check my Internet IP address for verification. If he knows there's a hacker involved, he should already have the IP information! This feels very suspicious.
