Caller: "Travis" Can 100% confirm the caller from this number is a scammer that will try to phish your information! A man named "Travis" called my father claiming they were from AGL and that they'd help him get his energy relief money. When I overheard him asking for my dad's pension expiry date alarm bells rang and after I grilled him for a few minutes he hung up on me. AGL customer service confirms no outbound calls were made to my father. This scam is listed on their "scam, fraud and phishing page". Hang up!

They say they're from AGL. I don't know if they're legit. They are using a number not associated with AGL.

SCAM!! DO NOT PROVIDE ANY DETAILS TO THE CALLER!!
Was called advising that I am eligible for $650 credit for gas, and $650 credit for electricity.
See below the statement released by AGL:
"We have recently received reports of scam callers pretending to be from AGL. The phone scam is related to the Energy Bill Relief Fund announced by the Australian Government in partnership with the state and territory governments.
The scammers are attempting to obtain customers’ bank details under the false premise of depositing energy bill relief credits. AGL will not contact customers for this purpose – eligible customers will have their energy bill relief credit applied directly to their AGL energy bill. For more information about the Energy Bill Relief Fund please visit the Federal Government Energy Bill Relief website, opens in a new window.
If you receive any calls like this, please do not provide any personal information, and disconnect from the call. If you wish to verify the legitimacy of any interaction related to AGL, please contact us directly on 131 245."

Caller: "AGL" Purporting to be AGLand saying I'm due for a Government Energy discount. They are getting smarter, by spoofing the company number to get around the phones identifying them as a spam call. They also only have a 1st name. When I ask them for my full name, 1st, middle, surname they go silent as they think of something to say. I tell them we have several people in the house with the same 1st name and I need to know who they are calling so I can pass the call. They again go silent, by this stage I just tell them to F off and hang up.

Call claimed they were from AGL and referred to the Data protection Act that subsequently they didn't know the whole name of the customer. ie this is very fishy (Sus).

Caller: Caller with Indian accent. Claimed to be from AGL. Called twice today. Wanted to confirm personal details. I said no...email me something. He said he cannot do that...must be done over the phone. I said I will not give him details over phone, he could be anyone. He said he was from AGL said my christian name and suburb I lived in. Told me I am entitled to Govt rebate grant. I said no I will not give him any details over the phone. Beware of this number appearing on your phone. IT IS A SCAM!!

Caller: "Raita" from "AGL" Female caller with African accent, claims to be born and bred in Lesotho but now working in "Southern Africa". asks for mobile number and then will ask for name and DOB (I didn't give them anything) so they can tell you what they're calling about. ??? Keep waffling on about how because caller ID says it's from AGL it's a legitimate call. I asked her for her mobile number, name, address and DOB but she said she doesn't know what I want that info for and she would not agree to giving it to me. then I said AHA! EXACTLY! that's why you're not getting mine and she hung up. fun call but don't get sucked in. they have an answer for everything. cheeky aholes.
