Called me, I answered, the automated voice pretended I was on a automated waiting list and that their operators will be in touch with me soon. HANG UP!
It’s some sort of scan, I regret mentioning my name when I answered

Said she was from AGL offering me discounts on electricity and gas could she go ahead and change my plan? I told her to email me details so she wanted to confirm email address told her she could tell me and I would confirm. Then she wanted to verify my account by me giving her my surname and address. She somehow already knew my first name and suburb so when I said you tell me and I will confirm, she hung up! When I rang back initially a voice message answered saying AGL then it started ringing again and rung out and said leave a message for John Bower! Stay alert, good thing our telcos are on it! NOT!!!!! Are telcos in Australia just stupid as every other country in the world doesn’t have this problem and certainly not to the extent we have here!

Caller from AGL said something about changing my plan and asked me to verify my name and address. Then sent me a verification code which I didn't give as it felt suspicious. Had a chat after to AGL through their app, who confirmed that it was a legit call from their sales teams.

Received a call from a woman, saying I was getting a discount on my AGL account - They knew my name and suburb and asked me to verify my surname and address. Told them to email me but they said they needed to complete a disclosure over the phone first. After I confronted them about not being from AGL, they panicked and hung up. I then received a text message from "AGL" 0455 142 503) with a survey - This text had my full name. Fairly intuitive scam, please don't provide any details!

This is a scam caller pretending to be from AGL - they knew my name and suburb, which was very concerning.

Indian accented woman called saying I was due for a discount for AGL electric and gas. They knew my name and suburb and wanted me to confirm my full name and street address. Never confirm your details to someone who has called you! HANG UP

This number was identified as spam by my Google pro pixel phone and I have received calls from it daily since 25/09/2023. Today I received a call every hour.
No message left.
I read the other comments.
Very dodgy.

Stated he was from AGL comparing plans to see if I was on best plan following price increases. Wanted me to confirm my details which I refused to do. Started taking over the top of me. Hung up.

When I answered, was immediately greeted by a recorded message saying "Our agents are pretty busy at the moment, but well be with you shortly, please hold the line". Recording sounds professional in Australian business voice. I hung up, no idea what the 'scam' is!
