These Telstra scam phone calls are starting to get a little out of control.

I thought I’d write about the latest scam call I received from a man telling me he was from Telstra Corporation as the scam calls are starting to come through more and more recently.

I also thought I’d share the rough transcript from the phone call too as it ended up being pretty funny.

The phone rang and as I was working on the computer I answered straight away and due to the time I answered and the fact that not many people would our phone number let alone ringing at that particular time I made them wait a while before saying hello.

And what happened after that I am still chuckling to myself.

Don’t get caught out with the Telstra phone call scam

Only just over a week ago now I was sitting in a hotel on the Gold Coast as a 10%’er of the thorns amongst the roses at the annual Problogger Event run by Darren Rowse and his team looking through the event schedule, palms sweating, anxious and nervous.

The “Thorn amongst the roses” refers to the amount of the male species that were present for the event.

I have only been writing for a few years but at the beginning, through chance, I have been following stalking Darren and a few others in his team online for a while and using the Problogger site for knowledge and cross checks, so the Problogger Event was the next logical step for me, a kind of commitment to the craft you could say.

So I booked, booked the accommodation and packed up the family and headed to the Gold Coast for a weekend of learning and it didn’t disappoint.
