Concerned Dalmeny resident, Ian Affleck, said he received four phone calls to his landline on March 27.
Mr Affleck said he answered to the exact same voice recording of a woman claiming to represent the "Australian Broadband Network". Mr Affleck said the female voice recording said NBN is coming to the area and his current network is about to be disconnected.
"It seems to me this was a scam targeting vulnerable people who are technologically challenged," he said.
