Caller: Offshore IT Support Team from Optus Doubted this call in the vert beginning as they tried to call me twice in one minute. As much as it sounded like a scammer calling, the caller was actually calling from a call centre in India on behalf of Optus, following up on a technical issue I have with their service. The caller asked for my Last Name and Postcode, before sending me a one-time code to confirm my identity. The caller's instructions were occasionally hard to follow because of the accent and the background noise, but with some patience they got my issue fully resolved.

Phone rang and I it stopped before I could pick up the phone . Assumed it was a scam. I have been in rouch with Optus this week so presumably it was their contractor as per other posts. Not going to ring them back.

Caller: Optus may be If this is a scam call. They have too much recent information to my actions on the Optus account. The only explanation is they have access to Optus system in realtime. They try to convince me to give them information to transfer phone number to my name. I suspect they will use it against sterling my phone number.

Caller: 24/7 on behalf of Optus. Subcontractor of Optus who persist in calling and not leaving voicemail. When I initially contacted Optus, I specifically asked not to be phoned and to be contacted via email. They never take any notice. I don't answer unknown numbers, as I'm sick and t owed of fending of scam calls since being caught up in the Optus data breach.

Caller: Optus This is a legit Optus number. I have been having issues with my NBN (pre-cyber attack) and Optus case management just phoned to let me know there is an outage with NBN affecting 36 customers and they will be monitoring my services. I have also just received an SMS to say the above.

Caller: Optus Lady called claiming to be from Optus. Wanted to know why I had transferred my service to another provider even though I had already completed their online survey. She was laughing with her colleagues and not paying attention when I responded which I found inappropriate. She then proceeded to offer me a deal to switch back to Optus. I explained that I had no intention of transferring back but before I could end the call she interrupted me and kept insisting. She then proceeded to claim that my new provider doesn't offer 5g so I should switch back which is a lie and I could literally see the 5g network connection on my phone at that very moment. Do yourself a favour and ignore calls from this number.

Caller: Optus I received a call from Steven in the Optus team on this number on 29 December, with an Australian accent and asking if I had the time to discuss the recent Optus data breach court case. I asked him to contact me tomorrow instead, and in the meantime I contacted Optus about the number (02) 9174 4000. Optus verified the call was legitimate and that I can safely continue discussing the matter with him.

definitely a dodgy call centre claiming to be optus , definitely an accent from the sub-continet of bombay and pretty rude. Do not pick up and if you do tell them to gtfo.
