I had not had this scam beforeDo you have a landline or mobile? I then rang Telstra Faults and told them what had happened & asked them if he would have been from Telstra. He had had enough at this stage & said I cannot force you to do it and hung up No no no he said I'm going to upgrade your modemĪfter a further exchange that went on a few minutes I said I don't know you, you could be a scammer wanting to install malware or something on my computer I said are you going to do remote desktop. He said press the windows key (after he worked out I had a windows key next to my Ctrl key in the left corner of my keyboard) then press R at the same time (brings up the run command) then said OK I can upgrade your modem ( i am half skeptical at this stage)
I said yes my internet has been slow lately. Yesterday got a new one he said Telstra had identified broadband was slow in my area and they were going to give me an "upgrade" We have all heard the one where you get a phone call saying "your broadband will be cut off etc." and thats enough I hang up (get this one a lot)
