Phone call from woman saying our Internet will be disconnected tomorrow.

We had a phone call tonight from a woman who claimed to be from Telstra, saying that our Internet was going to be disconnected tomorrow because our downloads were interfering with Telstra computers. When I claimed "[Bleep]" she said thank you and hung up. Anyone else had this one?

Yes I know. This is the page that tells me I need to contact you, which is why we're having this conversation now. There is no option to report phone scams. The only options are: Hacking, Port Scanning or attempted intrusionUnsolicited Bulk Email or SpamPhishing ScamsVirus Prohibited content (eg: pornography or sexually explicit content)Defamatory material (eg: publication by another person of a false and derogatory statement about you)Copyright infringement (eg: if you believe somebody else has misappropriated material over which you hold copyright None of these options cover phone calls from people claiming to be from Telstra. It says for other issues please contact us. This option leads me to you and all you have done is send me back to the page that told me I had to contact you. :/

    I have received a phone call from somebody purporting to be from BT Technical Services who understood we were having trouble with our computer and asking details about it e.g. IP address. I asked if I could ring them back and after giving me 0668 (which I repeated, as  a foreign sounding voice) they then rang off. The number displayed on the phone was 020909100 but when I tried to ring it back came up as not recognised.
    Being responsible I thought my duty to report to BT but have been unable to get in touch via 0800 800 150 as going through the options, as a TalkTalk line rental customer the recorded advice was to contact the provider!

    you need to contact your service provider and isp this is a BT retail customer help forum these posts do not go to BT

  • How do I make a phone call from my mac with yosemite?

    How do I make a phone call from my MacBook Pro on the Yosemite operating system?

    The following quotation is from Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    There is more information in the link, including supported hardware and that you must have Settings > FaceTime > iPhone Cellular Calls set to on on the iPhone.
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.

  • Harrassing phone calls from equipment recovery services when I have no equipment

    I cancelled my services with Comcast and returned all equipment. I have a reciept for the returned equipment and Comcast owes me a credit of more than $100. Yet, every day, several times a day, including saturday and sunda I get a phone call from "Equipment Recovery Services on behalf of Comcast" telling me i must return my equipment or be charged, then directs me to a website to  get help. I went to the website and Equipment Recovery Services shows that all equipment has been returned. I called Comcast to tell them to please stop this company whom they have hired from harrassing me, again confirming there is no equipment. Comcast told me to register for the do not call list. I am already on the do not call list. This issue is one caused by Comcast by hiring a contractor and not keeping them informed, it is NOT an issue with do not call. If I get another call I will be contacting local authorities and seeking charges for phone harrassmennt. What is with you comcast?

    Hello bpenyak,
    As you mentioned, Equipment Recovery Services is a vendor group that's hired by Comcast. The equipment could be returned to either them or Comcast. I can confirm that there is no more outstanding equipment. Since you returned it to us, we then send Equipment Recovery a report that all equipment has been returned and to no longer call you. What we cannot control is how fast those calls stop. It is up to them to close your file and stop the calls. Only thing we have control of is sending them a report that everything is recovered and to stop calling you.

  • Blocking Texts but allow phone calls from specific number?

    I have done some research but have not found what I'm looking for.
    I would like to be able to block a specific number from sending me text messages but I would still like to be able to receive phone calls from them.  It seems to be a unique situation.  I'm not sure if it is something Verizon can handle or if it's available in a third party App?  Thanks for any info you can provide.  I have an HTC Droid Incredible if that matters.

    I know that the free number blocking offered by Verizon Wireless will block both calls and texts from the blocked numbers.
    There might be something in the Play Store, but I'm not aware of any specific applications.

    This means that you are using a different computer to update it from the one you usually sync to. Alternatively, it may mean that you never sync to a computer.

  • IPhone 6 seems to crash when making phone call from Mac

    When using my iPhone 6 Plus to make phone calls from the Macintosh, (initiating call from Mac Contacts app in Yosemite) the iPhone continually brings up the Apple logo and does a quick restart over and over again. The phone call, however seems to work, but it's just that the iPhone looks as if it's going crazy showing the Apple logo and then the home screen over and over again.  This had worked initially, but not anymore. Both iPhone 6 and MacBookPro up to date with updates.

    If you never find an app that will do it then you could have a go at making one yourself-I don't think you need to pay Apple as long as you don't want to sell it.

  • When I receive a phone call from a new number, how do I save that number to my contacts?

    When I receieve a phone call from a new number, is it possible to save that number from the incoming calls screen? Can I create a contact from the number itself without having to go to the contact list and write the number in manually?

    Thank you so much. I feel like an idiot for not figuring that out on my own, it is so simple.  But I really, really appreciate this. Thank you!!!

    To troubleshoot this issue where your Mac believes you iPhone is still on a call while trying to make a call from your Mac, please first reset your iPhone, and then verify you have the settings configured correctly on your Mac and iPhone.

  • Text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5

    text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5. I backed up my 4 before activating my 5. Can i retrieve them somehow?

    i would not want to bet on nokia ever releasing a patch or update in the software to allow this function on this particular phone.
    if you look at nokia phones over the years, they have added functionality like this across a wide range all at once, take for example timed profiles on symbian phones. these have only just been phased in.
    i do not think it is a development cop out, more along the lines that nokia is a huge company and as such would have a huge effor in market research. if they didnt pick this out through their market researc, why spend the money adding it?
    the comment on annoyance is entirely personal to me, as it is important to you - you may want to consider moving to a symbian (series 60) based handset as these give you a lot of expansion for this sort of need.
