Someone used this number (0436 597 000) to send the SMS message below (Monday June 17, 2019, 09:55AM):

"Your First Home Owner Grant means you must move into your home within 12 months of settlement. If you can't make the deadline call State Revenue Office 13 21 61"

Now, is that 13 21 61 number legit, or routed to another scam number???

Caller: SMS

I got this message - quite sure it's a scam "UniSuper has received a request to rollout all or part of your balance. If you have no knowledge of this request please call us on 1800 331 685 urgently."

Telstra planned internet outage alert.

Caller: Telstra

I reported this number to Telstra as a possible scam SMS reporting a planned outage. Telstra emailed back to me - it is a legitimate number and SMS advising in advance of a planned outage.

Caller: 0436 597 000

Hi from Telstra, Your Opticomm Network Transition has now completed, unfortunately there is a process delay affecting your original phone number. We'll confirm once the request is completed. Thank you.

Telstra SMS doesn't show phone number!

Caller: 0436 597 000 "Moushimi, your Connection manager from Telstra" !!!!!

Definitely dodgy! Message left from abovenamed, "just confirming that your NBN appointment is booked...etc...28th May"; I am already connected to NBN and have no such appointment. The message also advised that "Your presence is not needed" !!! Yeah, right! Other obvious spelling errors. Totally suss.

filed a complain at telstra support regarding nuisance calls and hacked mobile number. I received a text from this number asking me to check my mail as they have proposed reesolution regarding my complain. I tried calling the number but said the number is not connected.

Caller: Telstra

Messaged saying its from Telstra they tried calling and they received a request to transfer my nbn over to a new provider. answer 1 or 2. spoke to Telstra and they said its a scam.

Scam. Phone flagged call as suspicious so I didn't answer. A Text, supposedly from Telstra Plus, gave details of an issue I discussed with them in an online chat 5 days ago. The issue was resolved at the time and follow-up emails received confirming the resolution. The text was poorly written, with "please answer the call" included, so unprofessional. I'm going to suggest that Telstra online chat has been compromised and details are being used by scammers.

Message Said. Good afternoon, please provide the details of the booking with Dr Mann on the 6/12/23 to booking...
I have no appointment booked with this unknown doctor.

Text received from this number: Hello. This is Ambulance Victorias SMS Service. We are trying to contact you regarding your 000 call. Please make your mobile phone available to take our call

Needless to say I'm not in Victoria and I didn't call 000

Just got a text from the same number claiming to be from Telstra 0435 697 000) about Opticom, with a link to the Telstra app or a request to reply 'YES' to the text. Thing is, I have been phoning Telstra about my plan with Opticomm and they only deal with me if I initiate a phone call (I'm already a Telstra customer). This text seems dodgy since Telstra has been texting me anyway and the Telstra texts don't reveal a number and never have a link.

Caller: 0436 597 000

Received a phising SMS "Will you move into your home within 12 months of construction or settlement to meet your grant conditions? If yes, ignore. If no, call SRO Victoria on 13 21 61"

13 21 61 seems legit from SRO Victoria.

But NOT 0436 597 000! Scammers could be hoping you to call the regular number 0436 597 000 instead. BEWARE

Caller: rude

Text message supposedly from 'Canon Camera Service' saying my product has been received for repair. Please call 13 13 83 to provide email address for ongoing updates. So definitely a scam

Caller: UniSuper

Legitimate SMS alerting me to the fact that I had an upcoming deduction from my super account. I called UniSuper and it appears that I had forgotten my life insurance payment comes out (only set this up last year). The wording in the SMS is a bit clumsy (read like scam), which I why I looked it up on here.
