"There's been a surge in "remote access" scams of late, with more than 8,000 Aussies losing a total of $4.4 million to Telstra, NBN, Microsoft and even NSW Police impersonators."

Funny story. Last Saturday afternoon I was at my FIL's place watching the footy. He gets a phone call from "Telstra" telling him his "computer needs maintenance because it was causing issues with their equipment???

He looks at me and says to the caller "my computer bloke is here now, he can go through it with you."
I grabbed the phone and hung it up.
I said to Jack (yeah that one!) ffs, just watch the f*&kin' footy!
