I got a call from 1800 022 665 today and the recorded message from Telstra said to follow the prompts if it was actually me... which I did as I assumed it was Telstra... I was answered by an asian/indian(?) lady who wanted to verify my details in order to give me a free sim card as an order with Telstra didnt go through. When I questioned her further she said Telstra were offering a free 500mb sim card due to a faulty order with my phone bundle... she knew my drivers license number, address but wanted my date of birth and to clarify that my details were correct... I told her the wrong year of birth... she couldnt answer a question directly so I asked for her number under the pretense that my phone was going flat. When I was calling the number back... it had the telstra message but the odd thing was that my call was answered straight away... and by a man with the same accent as the lady. I asked if Telstra were giving away free sim cards and right away he confirmed the same words that the lady said... The part that made me reaize it was a scam is that Telstra never answer there phones so quickly!
