User reports indicate that the number +61488862509 is being used by scammers who pretend to be from Origin Energy. The caller claims to offer better plans due to rate increases, but this is likely a ruse. One user, who had recently changed their plan, confirmed with Origin Energy that they did not receive any such call. This suggests the number is being spoofed. If you receive a call from this number, it's best to hang up and block it. Always verify such offers directly with Origin Energy or any other service provider to avoid falling for scams.
No voicemail was left, and given that I have no outstanding debts, it's probable that this was a scam attempt
As the caller did not leave a voicemail and I have no outstanding debts, I suspect that this number may be associated with a scam.
I have blocked and deleted this number, as it seemed suspisous.
The caller alleged that I owed money, but I knew this wasnt true, and after losing my temper, I told them off and blocked the number
A call was received from someone claiming to be a debt collector, but the claim was false, and the number was subsequently blocked.
There is no doubt that this is a scam
That comment resonates with me, and I concur with the assesment.
I received a call from someone claiming to represent Origin Energy, stating that my rates were increasing and they wanted to discuss a better plan for me. However, I had recently changed my plan, which made the call seem suspicious. After verifying with Origin Customer Service, it was confirmed that the call was not legitimate and the number had been spoofed by scammers.
