Caller: ScammerSupposedly from Origin re my overdue electrical account $162.23. I have a number of accounts with Origin and all are direct debit. Wasted time checking bank and account numbers. VERY credible txt message!!!
by Anonymous on 2024-05-26Text message received 4 July 2024, started with "Hi" with no name ... then a reminder to pay next Origin bill, with long link following, but amount different to what is due, as stated above. I rang Origin about getting one of these a while ago. They said they do send SMS reminders and they start with "Hi". That is definitely something they should not do. Perhaps some group has just hijacked that mobile number and their standard greeting. "Hi" with no name following - like some lurker on a street corner? Origin should know better.
by Anonymous on 2024-07-04Caller: 0488 880 299I’ve just moved to a new place, and got this message pretending to be from origin energy even though I’ve signed up with an entirely different energy provider. Below was the message. “Hi, it's Origin here. Just a reminder to pay the $485.91 (incl GST) that's now overdue for your electricity account (A-37A64BBF). Head to originenergy.com.au/pay?accountNumber=A-37A64BBF&amount=48591 or give us a call on 13 24 61. Already paid? Please ignore.”

by Anonymous on 2024-09-03Scam message they are getting smarter have changed their message, looks official but longer, so you might think you nerd to open as you cant see the full message, my advice dont open or klik on anything. Message Hi (had my first name) and"just a heads up that we will be ringing you in..... Lokks very official and creates a sense of urgency because you can't see the rest of the message. Dont open though.Why cant the Telco reverse bomb these crooks and blow their systems up.

by Anonymous on 2024-10-14Received the below SMS from this number. It is a scam because my name is not Paul and I have never had an account with Origin. I deleted the full address. Hi Paul, Origin here. We're confirming your electricity account for U 1,65B NSW will be closed on 22nd Nov 2024. If this isn't right, or you didn't request this, please give us a call on 13 24 61. Thanks, Origin.
by Anonymous on 2024-11-2006 December 2024 - Wow, these scammers are ruthless and know too many details about me - "Hi N***, Origin here. We're getting in touch to confirm your electricity account at ## Burrum [information deleted] is due to close on 13th Dec 2024. This is happening because we've received a request from another customer to move into the property. If you are not moving out, please give us a call on 13 24 61 with your meter number handy."
