[AusNOG] "Telstra" scammers

[Troy Kelly]

We get a lot of calls from "Telstra Business" on spoofed Australian mobile or US numbers trying to set up an appointment to have somebody come and review our services.
I assume it's a rogue Telstra partner - because they never ask for access to anything - just a time somebody can come and visit.

Regards, Troy

She gave her Telstra staff ID as C0527 (that's not a real Telstra staff ID, it starts with a 0 and it's too short) and hung up when I asked what her Team Leader or Manager's name and staff ID is.
