Claiming to be Osborne Park Hyundai with a hyperlink and 'opt out'.

I tried to confirm whether this was genuine via Osborne Park Hyundai's webpage but didn't get any straight answers from two of their online operatives; and despite expressing that their database may have been compromised, there was a distinct lack of interest. The second operative was more interested in selling me a car.

If this number is genuine but spoofed by a scammer or their customer data has been compromised, then they don't seem to care about it.

Caller: scam

received exactly same txt , called AGL said it was a scam , thank you also for sharing , yes do not open the links

Number indicating they were Plus We on behalf of AGL and they will attend our house correct address.

Caller: Toyota dealership (at this time, not in all instances)

I received a text message from this number saying it was a service reminder from my local Toyota dealership. The text contained specific details about my car and service cost which were all accurate but the number was marked as spam. It seems this is number is from a call and text service that's used for genuine communications from companies AND spam calls and texts and which is very disconcerting. My recommendation for anyone receiving anything from this number is to approach this with caution and call the company directly to make sure this is legitimate.

Caller: I don't know

'Thank you for your application. You have now progressed to online psycholigical testing.' Then provided me a testgrid link. Have no idea who it was or what applciation. Provided me a user ID and password, but when I pressed the link it asked me for my birthday.
Ignored.

Scam. Ask me to press 1 to fix my problem
