05.01.2022 SCAM ALERT! Scammers pretending to be from Telstra tech support are at it again. The scammers are calling people and requesting remote access to their computer... to fix a security issue. While the scammer accesses the computer to 'fix the issue', the call recipient is instructed to log in to their bank account. Soon after these calls, victims report that funds from their accounts are withdrawn, and in some cases sent to offshore bank accounts. If you receive a call asking for access to your computer and/or bank account details, please hang up. If you think you may have been a victim of this scam, please contact your bank immediately.
