A message claiming “Optus wishes to advise you that the mobile number you have dialled is disconnected” appears to be a scam, using outdated private data and repeatedly addressing me as Glen despite my number being the same since 2012.

Expert Opinion
User reports highlight repeated unwanted calls from a spoofed Optus line delivering outdated disconnection messages, a classic scam tactic to elicit responses or data. The mention of a name like 'Glen' from 2012-era records suggests data breaches or black-market lists fueling these persistent hounds. Block the number immediately via your phone settings or carrier tools to cut off access. Enable spam filters and report to authorities like the ACMA for broader tracking—staying vigilant prevents escalation to phishing or ID theft.
