EnergyAustralia Impersonation Reports for 0481 071 069
Three contributors have flagged 0481 071 069 (also written as 0481071069) for fraudulent activity impersonating EnergyAustralia. One contributor who answered the call discovered that 0481 071 069 does not belong to EnergyAustralia when they contacted EA customer service directly to verify. Another contributor received a call from this number where the caller claimed to represent EnergyAustralia, provided a fake 1800 number claiming EA affiliation, and possessed some of the recipient's real account details - a classic social engineering technique that builds false credibility before the scam escalates.
The pattern across reports about 0481071069 reveals a coordinated impersonation effort. Callers from 0481 071 069 are leveraging legitimate EnergyAustralia branding and partial knowledge of customer accounts to appear authentic, then directing victims toward phishing channels or requesting sensitive information.
What Callers from 0481 071 069 Claim
Callers from 0481 071 069 identify themselves as EnergyAustralia representatives. One contributor reported receiving an SMS from this number (presented as 'EnergyAust') referencing a genuine 7-Eleven fuel offer that EnergyAustralia had previously sent, then offering a STOP option to unsubscribe from marketing. However, this appears to be a social engineering tactic - using a real EnergyAustralia promotion to establish false legitimacy before pivoting to phishing or data harvesting.
Most notably, the caller from 0481 071 069 who answered the phone provided a fake 1800 number and claimed it belonged to EnergyAustralia. This number was confirmed by the contributor to have no affiliation with EA. The caller also referenced specific account details belonging to the recipient, creating a false sense of verification that the caller was authentic.

A suspicious call verified as non-legitimate in January 2025 followed.

Contacted EA customer service to verify, they said number doesn't belong to EA
Caller claimed to be Energy Australia, gave fake 1800 number not affiliated with them, offered STOP option but it's definitely a scam, they had some of my real account details
Caller claimed to be from Energy Australia but sounded like spam
+61 481 071 069 - a spam text saying 'the security of my account and personal information has been...' compromised. I didn't open it. Don't open any texts like this - delete them. It's clearly coming from outside of Australia +61. Energy Aust would not send texts asking for any of your personal information.
Think this is a scam text supposed to be from energy Australia. I don’t have an account with them. Highly suspicious.

Why does the caller from 0481 071 069 have some of my real account details?
Scammers often purchase or access partial customer information from data breaches or other sources to build credibility.

Contact EnergyAustralia immediately using the number on your official bill or their website to report the scam and flag your account for suspicious activity.
