He would only give me his first name and after a lot of "discussion" his ID number. Who knows if it is genuine.

You would think that this is enough to get him the sack.

Telstra will give you the Name and ID number, and which call centre they are in.

Well, you are not going to believe it but it looks like my rude telstra person was trying to establish me as a new customer seeking a 100 point Id (even though I have been with Telstra since the dark ages) since he was wanting to get $$$ commission from the "new" sale. The taped conversation is being investigated as we speak....

good on you for 'playing up'.  I am all in favor of this.  There are times when it pays to be nice,  and times when they deserve S ***.   Thanks for the feed back.

Good for you Courton. It's nice to see a positive result and that they are investigating shonky dealings.

Sounds like he is going to be in trouble, did he really think he could get away with it!

What is interesting is that as I suspected, he gave me a false ID number, would not put me through to his supervisor, gave me incorrect info etc...the only reason it was picked so quickly was because I was recounting this to a honest Telstra guy who immediately set up the links for further investigation.

WoW  :o
Wonder how many times this has actually been successful?
All that info if given, could have been dangerous in the wrong persons hands....you hear of personal details being sold...just makes us all the more nervous!
kudos Courton for your sixth sense   8)
