SMART identified this number as potential fraud. I chose not to answer when it called, and it did not leave a message. As per my safety protocol, I have now blocked the number. The comments from other users were very helpful.

Scam caller pretending to be from Telstra, telling me I am eligible for 6 months of discounts on my Telstra bill. As I have a prepaid phone and don't get bills, I said I didn't believe them. I asked for their name and employer ID number - and said I would call Telstra to verify them - they hung up.
