It's a legit number. This is the number Optus calls you from if they need to talk to you. I was on a live chat with a Optus Representative and they asked me to give them a number for them to call me back on. - MikeDecember 29, 2016UnknownAustralia

This number called me, disconnected my mobile and hacked into my phone. They withdrew all our money from all accounts. Under investigation by police and bank. Contact police if this happens to you and block all internet banking ASAP. - BillDecember 2, 2016ScamAustralia

Called today on behalf of Optus, ask for my details said I'm not giving you my details, if you are really Optus you should have that infront of you, they they hung up. These people need to behind bars its criminal what they are doing. - PhilipApril 26, 2018Scam callAustralia
This is a scam and not Optus calling you. Do not pick up and do not respond. They simply want access to your phone. Do not call back - LouAugust 12, 2017UnknownAustralia
I was complaining to optus about my high data usage. Then hung up and got call from this number. They did not speak and hung up after a couple of seconds. - KrisApril 19, 2019UnknownAustralia
Thanks to your site I know now who calls from this number I was using chat with Optus and the agent was a fool. I gave him a crap review and now I am getting constant calls from this number with "no one" there. Time wasting fools I am going to have to block this number - AnonymousFebruary 17, 2019UnknownAustralia
If it is Optus, the CEO of Optus should be very concerned that the call centre operators they hire are being flagged as scammers. - TerryApril 4, 2017UnknownAustralia

Caller: Optus
It was Optus sales, calling regarding an order I had placed - AnonymousOctober 21, 2018Call centreAustralia
Caller: (02) 8049 2850
Legit call from Optus to confirm my preorder. - AnonymousMay 18, 2018Call centreAustralia
Caller: Definitely optus
This is quite strange, I got a missed call and called the number back, says "Optus advises that the number you have dialled is disconnected etc etc"
They called back this evening and I answered, turns out it's one of the Optus counterparts I've been working with on a project for a client next week. This is from Optus Malaysia, weirder thing is when I answered it the caller ID then changed to possibly his actual extension - I don't know wether this is because I'm on Optus too?
So I'd say if you've answered and they've asked for some personal information just say you'll call back a verified optus number - I wouldn't be comfortable just giving my details to anyone that calls. - DamianJanuary 18, 2017TelemarketerAustralia
This is definitely Optus. - OptusApril 19, 2016TelemarketerAustralia

have had 10 + missed calls from this number when i tried to call is back it got a disconnected number, have now blocked the number - AnonymousJuly 30, 2018UnknownAustralia
It is not a legit number. Optus confirmed this with me on 30/07/2018. Their response over live chat was "Please ignore the call as it's not from Optus. If you have any clarifications on this, you can call our direct customer service at 133937"
