Had this come through from one of our techs. Thought I should pass it on in case it’s appearing elsewhere
Cheers

Subject: A new scam is appearing
Hi all, I been on the phone this avo to a few people who I support and help out, asking about telcos wanting them to pay their bill via credit card, what they are doing to phoning people saying they are either from Telecom / Xtra or another isp saying their account was overdue and if they dont pay they would be disconnected, and they had to pay via credit card and also they want remote access to check adsl modem settings are ok.
I phoned Telecom and vodafone about this one and they said its a new scam happening, so I thought I better pass this info for you to inform your clients or while talking on ph to customers that this is a scam to be aware of it.
Cheers
