Phone NBN scammers.

**Roverlord off road spares** · 9th July 2021, 05:19 PM

I have never had so many emails from businesses based in China trying to get up trade partnership as of late. that' annoying enough but the constant phone calls from scammers threatening to cut off my nbn.

This afternoon the again rang my mobile it was a robotic call I normally just hang up, but today I was going to play them . The recorded robot message gave me options to speak to account or a technician.
I selected option 1 speak to accounts.
a very strong accented male answered and started to threaten my disconnection of the nbn.
I told him to stop ringing me as dont have internet'.
He just continued his spiel, and then asked my bank details, name of bank
to that I replied "Bank of India
Then he got upset , called me a son of a bitch and hung upon me.
how does he know if l had or didn't have a Bank of India bank account.
i found that very rude of him
I certainly wont be giving my Swiss bank account number when he rings again.
1/2 hr later he rang from a different number

Yep, I quite often get some Aussie sheila's voice, warning me that my NBN will be cut off. Don't even have it here.
Same sheila, I reckon, does the Amazon account scam, another non-account I have.

Hi,
I would love to hand those calls over to my grandson. He is very talkative and seems to understand spoken communication. But only his parents can really understand him and translate his words. He rattles out sentences, full of emphasis and inflection seeming fully structured and considered.
Impolite and harsh replies from Mustapha are the only reason I haven't done so.
Cheers

My record is just under an hour and a half on a "Windows technical department" support call, plus 2 call backs for my credit card details. "I'm a pensioner sonny, I do my banking at the branch with a book". I figure if they're tied up with me they're not scamming someone slightly more susceptible.

I love watching them work too as they "fix my computer" by installing their cryptolocker/spyware, but that's just me being perverse.

Not phone scammers (last one I got three days ago called just as I was serving dinner - and I gave him a good serve!), but I must clearly have a very attractive personality or something - it seems I have had two offers of US$900k from EMBH foundation, and I also have an offer of US$15million from another source.

I am also fascinated by the number of people who have decided after "detailed examination of my website" (I don't have one) are offering their services to manage it.

That was an extremely nice gesture, JD!

We no longer get such calls - since we unplugged the house phone. We only use our mobiles now.

I got a text on my mobile claiming to be from NAB saying they were going to send my new NAB card to my Springwood address and asking me to click a link to confirm my address.
Two problems:
1. I don't have a NAB card
2. I don't live at Springwood.
Text ignored.
