Telstra Anti-hacking Department

Scams
1

Telstra gave me a cold call, from (+61379800654 ; Australian number) and stated that hackers are accessing my computer. So then I was passed onto a Supervisor who called himself “Daniel Boyd” from the Anti-Hacker Department of Telstra. I basically needed to renew my gateway for $5.99 (AUD). He asked what I did on my computer and I said Internet Banking and YouTube. Where he got so excited and won the lottery (type of emotion) when I stated that. He wanted me to log into the following:

www.netbank.com.au
www.telstra.com.au

He told me to go too:

www.validator.w3.org
(or something similar to this)

His Teamviewer account number is 757081823 and password 123456.

I then disconnected him from my internet connection and he went crazy. He claimed to have put a "syskey" on my computer and he didn't remember the random number. Unfortunately, by that stage I was in the middle of a reboot and he didn't add a syskey.

When they ring me and say “open up google … search for T-E-A-M-V-I-E-W-E-R <space> 6”, i get sweaty palms with excitement, they want to disable remote input and blank your screen as its a free function on 6. They always give you their ID/Pass first, they get locked and blanked, then you can run a file on them, if youre quick and a good actor.

Usually they are dumb.

The usually change their password after they connected though

Almost all Telstra in Australia and BT (British Telecom) in UK scams originate from a handful of scammers in Kolkata India.

Jim Browning has exposed them in the past

@Tails#67557 Care to explain the process for using a teamviewer ID to rat someone?
