02 4063 1015: A Curious Mix of Legit and Suspicious Calls from Origin Energy

So, I switched my electricity provider and out of the blue, these guys are bombarding me with calls, emails, and texts saying I’m a "valued customer." Yeah right, sounds a bit fishy to me. I did a reverse lookup just to check if this was a scam. Sharing this in case it helps someone else!

So, Origin's been ringing me up like an ex trying to rekindle a romance after more than 20 years! I ditched them recently 'cause I'm saving a bundle on my power bills now, and they think I’ll take their bait again? No chance, just more of their empty promises and flattery now!

Didn’t recognize this number, so I let it ring out. Turns out it was Origin wanting to chat about my energy plan, but I missed the call while being sick. A bit disappointed though, I was keen to see if they have a better deal for concession card holders!

Received a legit call from Origin Energy today. No issues there, all smooth sailing!

I got a call from this number and missed it, but they left a message claiming to be from Origin. Since I'd dealt with them before, I called back and the first bird on the line sounded like she was from the UK, but the bloke who picked up next was definitely not. My hearing isn’t the best, so I asked for someone who could speak English. He insisted he understood me—yeah right! I couldn’t take it anymore and hung up. If he were standing, I reckon he'd be wobbling on shaky legs, 'cause of my state.

I previously blocked another number from Origin, and this call might be from the IP service that I have not yet blocked.

I experienced the same situation with this number; it sounds like a similar scam.

I received a missed call from a Newcastle number. I recently switched from Origin Energy to Red Energy, so I'm assuming they believe they've found a better deal for me. I plan to try the Australian-owned company for a while.

Was the rate being offered to you genuinely better than what you currently have?

I do not wish to answer calls from this number because they are unsolicited and my phone number is registered as private. If they want me to consider answering, they need to send an email specifying a time frame for their call. Since the latitude financial data breach, I have been receiving constant spam calls and I only answer calls from legitimate sources that leave a message.

The caller claimed to be from Origin and was unwilling to provide a callback number. This seemed odd and raised my suspicions.

I received an unsolicited spam call from this number, which I identified as belonging to Origin. I have reported and subsequently blocked the number.

After I switched to another electricity provider, I started receiving calls from Origin Energy trying to win me back. They don't even leave a voicemail, which is frustrating. I find Origin Energy's customer service lacking, and their rates are not competitive. If they keep calling, I plan to block their number.

I've had two missed calls today from this number, but they didn't leave a message. After reading other users' comments, I now believe it's from Origin, as I just switched to Red Energy. I'm hesitant to answer their repeated calls and cannot block the number just yet, as I still need to transfer my internet service.

This caller is definitely a scammer. Don't be fooled by any comments that suggest their legitimacy; it's a scam.

I typically don't respond to calls from unfamiliar numbers because legitimate callers usually leave a voicemail. It was incredibly frustrating to find out that this missed call was actually from Origin Energy, a company that I would have considered, yet they did not leave any message for me to follow up on.

I recently decided to switch my electricity provider from Origin, and since then I've received eight calls today alone starting from 9:46 am, presumably from Origin. I haven't answered any of these calls, as the frequency feels like harassment. After this experience, I definitely don't want to continue being a customer of theirs. This level of persistence reflects poor customer service.

I also received a missed call from this number, but no voicemail was left. It's interesting how they're reaching out now that I've switched mobile providers, especially since they never called when they were continuously increasing fees and reducing the solar feed-in tariff!

I received a call from a number claiming to be from a new supplier. The caller was very insistent and kept pushing for me to agree to a discount offer on the spot. I found his sales tactics extremely aggressive and unprofessional. To avoid further conversation, I requested to understand the terms and conditions first, then when he started reading them, I placed the phone down and left the room.

This number called my phone but did not leave a message. I suspect they might be related to my previous association with Origin Energy, but I can't be sure.

I received a call from a number registered in Newcastle. I was anticipating my phone would indicate it as 'suspected spam' or 'potential fraud', but it didn't. Kudos to Origin for their accuracy on this matter.

The call seemed legitimate; they contacted me to offer better rates after I had already switched to a different provider. This behavior suggests that companies don't maintain loyalty to their customers.

This was a legitimate call from Origin Energy, who informed me about their transition to Red Energy. They wanted to offer me a better rate to encourage me to stay with their service.

I used to be a customer of Origin Energy, and it seems it's too late for them to reach me now.

This afternoon, I received a call back from (02) 4063 1015 after I had contacted Origin this morning. The same woman who helped me earlier was on the line again, but in the background, I could hear a lot of talking in another language, which raised my concerns about the legitimacy of the call.

This number belongs to Origin Energy. I stopped my service with them three weeks ago, but they continue to call me, which is quite annoying. They haven’t left any voice messages, which makes it even more frustrating.

This number has continuously called me but never leaves a message. Their repetitive behavior strongly suggests it is a scam.

The caller left a message that consisted of heavy breathing, throat clearing, and faint background chatter. Generally, I do not return calls when they do not leave a clear message, as this is a definite sign of unwanted or suspicious activity.

They left me a voicemail that consisted of 30 seconds of heavy breathing, grunting, and background noise. This is not what I expect from any type of customer service, and I have no interest in communicating further with them.

The caller offered me a discount on my utility bills, which seemed too good to be true.

I can confirm that the call I received was legitimate and was from Origin Energy. They offered me a 19% discount and were aware of my previous energy provider without asking for any credit card information. Moreover, I had received authentic emails from Origin Energy at the email address they had on file from before I switched providers.

I was quite frustrated to find out that this unidentified number from Newcastle belongs to Origin Energy, a legitimate company. However, they didn't leave a voicemail, which wasted my time checking their number. If they had simply left a message, I would have returned their call. It's really annoying that they expect people to call back without any assurance!

I have confirmed today that the number (02) 4063 1015 is indeed a legitimate number belonging to Origin Energy. They called to offer me discounts on both my gas account and NBN connection. After requesting they call me back later, I verified the details with Origin’s actual staff, who confirmed the offers were genuine.

As a former customer, I have repeatedly asked this company to stop calling me, even in writing, and they initially agreed to stop. However, they continue to call me despite my requests.

I have received multiple unsolicited calls from this number. The messages left claim to be from Origin Energy, but when I called Origin Energy directly to verify, they did not confirm the calls. Therefore, I can only assume this is a scam.

This number is definitely associated with Origin Energy. They called to follow up on my attempt to connect a new electricity service.

The caller identified themselves as part of the vacant premises usage team and was actually returning my previous call. This is not a scam.

I am currently waiting for a response regarding what they claim is an apparent error.

This call definitely seems like a scam! I recommend ignoring and blocking this number.

I received an unsolicited call from a number claiming to be from Newcastle. They did not leave a message, so I decided to block the number.

I believe this is likely a scam. The callers continually switch to different numbers, even occasionally using mobile phone numbers. They seem to be changing numbers frequently in hopes that I’ll pick up the call.

From Origin Energy Newcastle.
