The Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) warned all Australians to act now and upgrade their 3G mobile device as major telcos Telstra and Optus will begin to turn off their national 3G networks six weeks from now.
Australian telco Telstra has paid $1,551,000 to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) after failing to perform required customer ID authentication processes, leaving thousands vulnerable to SIM-swap scams and other types of mobile fraud.
Scam warning: The ACCC is aware that scammers have been calling people, falsely claiming to help them get a refund from various businesses. They may use this media release about refunds from Grays to convince you that it is real.
