02 8229 5702: Telemarketer or Possible Scam?

Listen up, folks! This mob is dodgy as! When I asked them to prove they were AGL, they shot me a code in an email and wanted me to give it back to them! Did a quick Google check on the email address, no-reply @ secure.agl.com.au, and that’s a total scam. Don’t fall for it!

The caller claimed to be from AGL and said there was a price reduction available. However, they could not confirm my identity, which made it feel like a scam, so I hung up.

I strongly believe that this is a scam call. Do not share any personal information with them, even if it’s just your email address, as they are trying to build a profile on you.

I received a scam call where the caller mispronounced my name. I decided to give them false information during their identity verification process, which they mistakenly confirmed as correct. This raises concerns about their credibility and the potential risks of sharing personal information.

I completely agree! Just get it done if it benefits me instead of dragging me through the stress and deception often associated with scam calls.

The person on the line claimed to be from AGL services and asked me to confirm my identity. Before they began speaking, there was an excessive amount of background noise and clicking. I informed them that I was busy and hung up.

When I answered the call, I could hear people laughing and speaking Hindi in the background. The caller claimed to be from AGL and addressed me by my first name and suburb. However, when they asked me to confirm my last name and address for security, I provided a false name and address, which they did not challenge. This felt very much like a scam.

I received unsolicited phone calls from (02) 8229 5702, where the caller attempted to discuss updating my AGL plan. The caller had an Indian accent, struggled with their script, and refused to send me information via email about the "new plan," insisting it was only available through a phone conversation. I decided to hang up.

I keep receiving calls from the AGL retention team, but I never pick up as they don’t leave any voicemail messages.

I received a call from this number regarding telemarketing efforts for AGL, specifically aimed at customer retention services.

I missed this call and they did not leave a message; however, I've been informed it's related to AGL telemarketing.

Similarly, this call was flagged by my phone as SPAM, and I have taken the precaution of blocking the number.

I confirm that this number belongs to a legitimate department of AGL, specifically their retention department. They made a courtesy call to inform long-term customers about new government energy rule changes affecting billing. I verified the legitimacy by calling AGL directly afterward, although the call was quite unusual.

I received a call from a number claiming to be from AGL, offering special rates. As I do not respond to unsolicited calls, I decided to hang up. They also sent me a link to my phone, but I deleted it immediately without clicking on it.

I suspect this call was from an AGL loyalty customer service center that has shifted operations to the Philippines. They kept asking for my name and date of birth, and even sent links, which made me uncomfortable and led me to believe this could be a scam while they were offering an AGL loyalty deal.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from AGL, and they offered significant discounts on my electricity and gas. However, they refused to let me read any information before agreeing, insisting it was a 'special offer' because of my long-term relationship with AGL. They seemed to have many personal details about me, which made me uncomfortable. When I asked to review the terms before making any commitments, they abruptly hung up on me.

This number called me with a similar setup to the previous call. There was a lot of background noise and the call kept cutting in and out. They asked for confirmation of my details, but it was unclear what information they wanted. I requested that they call back as I will verify with AGL due to the suspicious nature of the call.

I received a call from AGL, and I verified their legitimacy through email confirmation regarding a new plan. I followed up by calling them directly, and they confirmed that everything is legitimate and in order.

I received a suspicious call from a man offering a cheaper plan. He knew some of my personal information but asked me to confirm it. When I offered to call back at (02) 8229 5702, he responded that he couldn't be reached at that number. I then decided to hang up on the call.

I received a call from this number and they mentioned four of my previous addresses. This raised my concern about potential identity theft or a scam.

I received a call similar to the one above, but they didn't leave a message, so I chose not to call back.

The caller identified themselves as representing AGL and claimed to offer a significant discount on my gas and electricity bills. They had my name but then requested my personal details in order to process the switch to their deal. I decided to call AGL directly to verify the offer, and at that point, the caller abruptly hung up.

I have received calls from this number multiple times on both my home phone and mobile. They did not leave any messages. The only way they could have obtained my name and number is through the Optus data breach, as both of my numbers were not exposed in any other data leaks.

The caller offered a better plan and requested my email address and date of birth to confirm my identity. They asked me to provide this information first to prove their legitimacy, which sounded like a phishing attempt aimed at stealing my identity.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from AGL services with an Indian accent. They knew my name and phone number and informed me that AGL had a better plan for me. When I requested more details, they couldn't provide any information. After I hung up, they called me back immediately and continued to call multiple times. This feels like a scam.

The caller claimed to be from AGL and had my name, offering special rates. However, when I asked for details about the offer, they could not provide any information and eventually hung up. I consider this a spam call.

I received a call from this number but didn't answer it. They left a voicemail. My policy is to not answer calls from numbers that are not on my contact list, regardless of who they are.

This number continually calls me at least twice a week. They never leave a voicemail and do not send a text message either. The caller ID shows it as suspected spam.

This phone number appeared on my phone as suspected spam, which is why I didn't answer the call. If it had been a legitimate call, I would expect them to send me a message beforehand.

Had a missed call from this number (30/3/2023) I called back with my number on private. It was AGL.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from AGL service. They asked me to confirm whether I was XXXXXX, to which I responded affirmatively.

I requested that they send me the details via email, and while the caller promised to do so, I never received any email.
