I was told I was to be sent a new smartphone. I asked him which company he worked for and told me he was Optus wholesaler. I asked agian but would not tell me his company. Did not seem right so I hung up! I have had similar calls before but not from this number.

A guy called me today (Chinese accent) offering me a better rate plan for my mobile. He said he was from Optus and I'll save a whole of $6 a month and it was a prepaid SIM card I was going to receive . He got my name (spelt wrongly as he couldn't under how to spell) and wrong date of birth. I told him in the end I wasn't interested and he got angry and said nothing going to change. He then put another guy on phone and he then asked for my bank details. I said no your not having them. Prepaid is prepaid so he don't need that type of info from me and he started get angry and upset so I hung up on him and blocked his number. These people think we're stupid and don't relise its a scam. GET A REAL JOB you idiots

Just got a call from a lady (strong indian accent) claiming she would offer a promotion on the plan i'm currently with. Had no idea what service i was on (except that it was using the optus network), no idea which plan I was on etc. She wanted me to sign up for a month just to see if her cheaper deal would suit, she didn't say who she was with just an Optus provider? I hung up before she started asking for bank details.

This stupid c*nt called me of their number then immediately hung up and called me on private. Naturally I googled the number and found this page. Then I called the number back 10-20 times and sent all the screen shots from this page and a giant paragraph about what I think of their pathetic little game. I hope one day we can become friends

Guy with a think Indian accent, saying that he's calling from Optus and wanted to offer me a discount. He started talking about my pre-paid phone (even though I've been on plan for years) and when I asked him where he was calling from again, he hesitated before stammering Optus and then started saying 'oh sorry I meant post-paid phone'. This number has scam written all over it!

I also had a lady call and ask about my phone plan etc and said I can get a new phone for free! Told her my contract was up in June and won't be renewing and she hung up on me. Then very day for last week I've had missed calls from this number. When I call back it asks to put in a number! Scam scam scam

haha i just grilled him, i said im interested but i want to see it in email, (of course not) i told him to slow down because he speaks at 100 mile an hour, i also asked him if he was from optus he should have my email address (of course not) i also said "how do you get around contract law?" he was extremely pushy trying to talk over me. so i said in reality your actually trying to steal from me? why would i give you my cc details if there is no writted information/contract to which he replied i have been "selected" haha he ended up hanging up on me because he had no answeres other than the script he was reading from. so what i am going to do now is call optus and inform them of this number and the misrepresentation. so i invite all of you to do the same and maybe he will get blocked from the australian network. what a douche scamming theif.

Scam caller from 0478 202 813 which a strong accent and lots of background noise. Claims that as a longer term customer I will be rewarded with a free phone.

I have previous clarified this with Optus who confirmed that this doesn't happen and it is a scam. I told the person that it isn't genuine and they kept saying it's true it's true.

I received a call from them, and I never answer numbers I do not know. So I declined and searched it up. I now know I'll never answer to them!

I had a call from this number and an Indian woman's voice told me that my phone number has been chosen to be given a mobile phone. A new phone will be sent to me and I dont need to pay any cent. She asked me if I am a prepaid Optus customer and I told her I am on a plan. She asked me how long for a plan and I said about a year. She then said dont worried about it and then hang up. Something did not right with this call.
