I'd think a genuine Telstra caller would be equipped with at least the names & 'phone numbers of Telstra customers. In offering to give you the amount of your last monthly bill (do you receive a monthly or quarterly account?) he was probably counting on most people only having a vague idea of the amount anyway. If he were genuine he would have known your name. My money is still on The Scam!
