Caller: Supposedly Urban Utilities

SMS from "Urban Utilities" directions to pay as our account is over due by several hundred dollars. Funny, we don't have an account with Urban Utilities.

Claims I owe thousands of dollars in council rates and Sms provides a link to pay. Scam.

Caller: ing- bank message

telling me my ING bank account has been suspended .. I dont have an ING account

Received a text from Seaworld confirming booking
Also received text from urban utilities with an incorrect website link in the message

Received one text from Sea World from this number then 4 months later one from Urban Utilities
The website link for urban utilities was wrong

Work safe Vic

Caller: SMS reminder

It asks me book citizenship appointment. Dont know if it's legit or not

A text message about checking on your neighbours after the fires/storms in NSW. Looks like a number of different Gov departments use this number for messaging.

I've contacted with a hospital staff with this number 1 year ago.

Today I received a text message from this number telling me about my citizenship test which I've just been informed this morning. This is bizzar ~

Caller: Australian Passport Office

Totally legit, was a message to call the passport office.

Scam. Telling me my rates are overdue by over $1000 with a link to an non-council website to pay.

Caller: Passport Office

Definitely the passport office. Luckily I turned my phone on in time to see the text from them, then to receive a call from their Melbourne office confirming it. It's likely it was previously an Optus sales number. Now it's used for Australian Passport Office applications checks alerts.

some citizenship appointment i never booked

Caller: Text messages received from 0421 267 500

It is legitimate. It is a messaging service (virtual office) used by many organisations. Used by TAFE Qld reminding me to finalise my online enrolment. Used by OPTUS giving me a reference number when I required a technician to fix my landline. Used by Brisbane City Council today reminding me of the Business seminar and networking event that I have registered to attend and to not forget to bring my business cards.

Supposedly the Hobart Passport Office which I have nothing to do with. I am in SA. I believed this was a scam. I called the Hobart Passport office on the number that I got from an internet search which was not the number on the text and after half hour wait, they checked out the supposed reference number they quoted in the text. Much to my surprise I had forgotten that I had gone guarantor on a passport and apparently they can be processed in any state. They logged this and called me back.

QLD tafe

Legit. I called back using 1800 number and they said the promotion is valid

I see another of companies and organisations uses this same number, as a text I got came from Brisbane Council.

Unless the number keeps getting port to different companies and organisations all the time?

Department of transport confirming logbook

Was follow up to a passport renewal i had lodged. Vaild number.
