Expert Opinion
Be cautious with unknown callers like this one—reports indicate they're impersonating Optus to gain access to personal accounts. They push for login details, but enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) blocked the attempt here, leading to a quick hang-up when questioned. Always verify caller identity independently through official channels, never share sensitive info over unsolicited calls, and consider blocking the number. If targeted, report to authorities like the ACCC or your telecom provider to help curb these phishing scams. Stay vigilant to protect your data.
