In my case it was a legitimate reminder that a bill for an account I hold with Origin is due in 5 days and I hadn't yet paid it. Not a scam in my case, just a reminder. - AnonymousJune 17, 2022SMSAustralia

Caller: Origin
I received an SMS confirming a bill had been sent to my email. Checked my email and there was a letter with a bill attachment from "hello @ origin.com.au".
I phoned their Help line number (from a previous bill) and they confirmed their email address and the attached bill.
They have recently made changes to their billing system. Seems legit but if in doubt, give them a call. - AnonymousJuly 12, 2021SMSAustralia
