SMS from Energy Australia advising that weekely/fortnightly payments are available etc. Find out more by clicking on a link... I am an Energy Australia customer but I don't click on any links from any unsolicited numbers. Don't forget that scammers can still use the 'legitimate' company phone number to send such messages so even though there's a thread of genuine messages from that company in your SMS's doesn't mean that this one is legit.

I phoned EA to check if the landline number was legit. The consultant said (03) 8364 1311 is not an EA phone number. This whole process is very shonky and if it is legit it should be stopped immediately.

Claims to be from Energy Australia, says will call using a given mobile number, or one can call them on a 1800 number, which is not a valid EA number! Or can reply with STOP. SCAM, HOAX! What is the scariest thing is that they appear to have valid account details!

Caller: Received a SMS indicating I would soon be called by a landline number I logged into my Energy Australia (EA) account today after joining EA last week and then used the online chat function to ask them if the mobile number 0481 071 069 was from the Energy Australia welcome team as I had received a text message today from that mobile number indicating that the EA Welcome Team would be calling me soon via landline number (03) 8364 1311. The EA Chat Operator confirmed the mobile number was from their Welcome Team so I expect the landline number will also be legit...so previous negative comments about the mobile number are incorrect.

Caller: SMSed, not called It was an SMS message to change to all-electronic communication, and no paper, asking me to respond "YES".
The sender knew my email address, and critically, my account number, so I considered it legitimate. I responded "YES" and got a confirmation SMS, and the interaction was complete.
