Claimed to be from origin energy- automated call. Asked me to call the 1300 360 986 number. Looked up origin energy number and it's not 1300 360 986!
I believe this to be a scam!

Caller: Origin

Haven't called back. Automated and state that they will continue to call if I don't call back. Oh well.

Caller: Phone Number in email

Received email with this phone number claiming I owed money on account. Don't think I will be paying it.

Caller: Text mesage

Text message telling me that, allegedly, my electric usage is ".......more than what your payment plan is covering"!!! (Bad grammar) Wants me to call them on this number!!! Message from 0485 871 591

Caller: Origin

They knew my name though. Said I needed to call them asap. Or if I'm not that person, I still need to call them asap.

Hi, this is not a scam and in fact a legitimate call from Origin Energy collections department.

phone call from a robot with an no caller id. if ignored receive a text claiming my gas bill is overdue of varying amounts. this occurs once a week... I don’t even have an power/water/gas registered in my name 🤦🏽‍♀️

Caller: Imessage

Like others received an iMessage stating an overdue amount etc. Don’t have an Origin account.

Caller: 1300 360 986

Text said from Origin with link to pay bill. They actually had my correct account number but totally wrong bill amount

Caller: Scam

No caller Id. Claim to be Origins. You can block number 0429 041 444. Don’t click on link or through message if you don’t have acc with Origins. If keep having voice calls, please report to local police.

I always get a no caller ID number ring (and when answered it’s a robot asking for me to press 1 followed by a text claiming I owe $269.48 for gas. asking me to reply 1 or call 1300 360 986. The part that gets me is that the electricity and gas isn’t even in my name, so unsure as to why they’re contacting me. An absolute scam fest.

Caller: I called them

I just made a new plan and was told to way for the new bill and got this email saying I owed them money??

f*ckin SCAM

Caller: No Caller ID
