03 9649 4909 - Suspicious Calls Claiming to be AGL

So, I got this dodgy call claiming they were AGL, trying to sell me some better gas and electricity deal. I was a bit iffy and told them no way I’m dishing out my details, and suddenly they started texting me codes like it’s a bloody game! I mean, if they had my number, why not just shoot me an email? The bloke hung up on me! Better watch out for these scammers, mate!

I have received several calls from this number. My antivirus app flagged it twice as a potential scam, so I haven't answered any calls from them. If it were a legitimate call from AGL, I would expect a text or email to my registered account if it were important, rather than random calls. This situation feels very suspicious to me.

I would like to clarify that this number is not a scam; it actually belongs to AGL, an energy company.

This is not a scam call; it appears to be a legitimate AGL telemarketer reaching out from overseas. They were attempting to switch me to a different electricity plan which they claimed was "better." However, I found that the new plan didn’t actually provide any better benefits for my situation, though it might be advantageous for others.

I just received a credit of $175 to my account, which seems highly suspicious. I suspect this may be related to a scam, so I wanted to alert others.

I answered the call only to hear voices speaking Chinese in the background. I tried to greet them a few times, but nobody responded to me, so I hung up. This seems like a guaranteed spam call.

I missed a call from this number, and they did not leave any voicemail message.

I received a scam call supposedly from AGL. When I asked the caller for my account number, they couldn’t provide it. So, I humorously decided to cover the phone with a stainless steel lid and bang it with a wooden spoon, causing them to hang up!

This number has called me twice, but both times they hung up as soon as I answered.

I have received up to 5 calls a day from this number for a few weeks. I haven’t answered the calls because I didn’t recognise the number and they’ve never left a message.

I contacted AGL for clarification, and they informed me that they wouldn't have a record of such a phone call as they do not conduct direct calls for promotions. They always send out emails instead.

This phone number is undoubtedly a scam. I contacted AGL, and they verified that this number is not associated with them in any way.

Please exercise extreme caution with this number as it is likely a scam. The callers are becoming increasingly adept at deceiving people by using legitimate sounding company phone numbers, such as those associated with AGL Anytime. It is strongly recommended to block this number if possible.

This call was from AGL customer retention, attempting to enroll me in a "special saver" plan for my utilities. I verified that it was a legitimate call, and indeed, AGL confirmed the outbound call when I called their official number. Although their email follow-up takes up to three days, the caller correctly mentioned my account number and other services associated with my account. They also asked for my last name and provided the suburb where I reside.

I received a call from this number that seemed to be from a call center, possibly based in the Philippines. The caller claimed to be representing AGL and addressed me by name, mentioning my suburb. He talked about a new energy plan that was cheaper and not locked in. When I said I would check it on the AGL website, he abruptly hung up on me.

I have been receiving calls from this number once or twice daily over the last few days, but they never leave a voicemail. When I returned the call, the line strangely disconnected immediately, which raised my suspicions. After doing some research on this number, I have decided to block it due to its unusual behavior.

Whenever I answer this call, the caller hangs up immediately. It's very frustrating because I don’t understand why they waste their time calling if they aren't going to communicate!

The caller knew my name and claimed to be from AGL, stating they could change my plan to a cheaper rate without any action on my part. They requested a moment to read their spiel and promised to follow up with an email. When I told them I was busy and couldn't listen right now, they promptly hung up.

A call came in at 5:16 PM on a Friday from a number I didn’t recognize, so I chose not to answer it. The caller did not leave a voicemail. After googling the number (‭(03) 9649 4909‬), I found that it is associated with scam activity. I have since blocked the number.

I received a phone call where there was a long pause after I answered. The caller claimed to be from AGL, but asked for me to confirm my personal details, which I refused to do for safety reasons.

I received an incoming call that only lasted for 3 seconds before the caller hung up as soon as I answered. Based on similar reports, I suspect I may soon receive scam text messages or additional scam calls from this number. I will be blocking this number to avoid further contact.

I answered a call from this number where a man with an Indian accent claimed to be calling from AGL, trying to offer better energy plans. After asking some preliminary questions about my energy usage, he began to request personal information. When I asked him to verify the legitimacy of the call, he sent a text message pretending to be from AGL, even using their alias, complete with links. This is definitely a scam!

This number is associated with a scam. They called me twice on different occasions and did not leave a voicemail, which raised alarming concerns.

I have received multiple calls from the number (03) 9649 4909 over several days without any messages left. When I called back, the line directed me to AGL Anytime. It seems these calls may be efforts to review energy plans for AGL customers.

The caller identified as AGL and requested all my details, claiming they have found a cheaper plan for me. They continuously avoided my questions about how they could prove their identity as an AGL representative, raising my suspicions.

The caller claimed that money had been withdrawn from my bank account, which seemed suspicious to me.

I received a call from a female operator who knew my name and claimed to be from AGL, checking on my gas service. I immediately asked her not to call me again and hung up since AGL has confirmed they do not make unsolicited calls to customers, indicating this is likely a scam.

I received a call from this number the night before but missed it. They called me again in the morning, and when I answered, the connection was poor, making it difficult to hear the person on the other end. I could make out that they had an accent, which sounded foreign, but I couldn't understand them clearly. I decided to hang up and block the number due to the confusion and lack of clarity.

I received two brief missed calls from this number on Friday and Saturday. The callers claimed to be from AGL, but I do not have any services account with AGL, raising my suspicion that this is a scam.

I received three calls within two days from this number. I ignored all of them, and since no voicemails were left, I decided to block the number.

This number does not leave any messages when they call, so I will be blocking it to prevent future calls.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from AGL. After contacting AGL to verify, they informed me that they had not made any such calls. This raises concerns that it may be a hacker trying to extract personal information.
