Definitely scam, never use origin services

Hi, it's Origin here. Just a reminder that you have a payment of $219.76 (incl GST) for your gas account due on 02/04/24. You can pay at originenergy.com.au/pay?accountNumber=A-70CD87BF&amount=21976. Already paid? Please ignore. Thanks.

Scam message they are getting smarter have changed their message, looks official but longer, so you might think you nerd to open as you cant see the full message, my advice dont open or klik on anything.
Message Hi (had my first name) and"just a heads up that we will be ringing you in.....
Lokks very official and creates a sense of urgency because you can't see the rest of the message. Dont open though.Why cant the Telco reverse bomb these crooks and blow their systems up.

I’ve just moved to a new place, and got this message pretending to be from origin energy even though I’ve signed up with an entirely different energy provider. Below was the message.
“Hi, it's Origin here. Just a reminder to pay the $485.91 (incl GST) that's now overdue for your electricity account (A-37A64BBF). Head to originenergy.com.au/pay?accountNumber=A-37A64BBF&amount=48591 or give us a call on 13 24 61. Already paid? Please ignore.”

Text message received 4 July 2024, started with "Hi" with no name ... then a reminder to pay next Origin bill, with long link following, but amount different to what is due, as stated above. I rang Origin about getting one of these a while ago. They said they do send SMS reminders and they start with "Hi". That is definitely something they should not do. Perhaps some group has just hijacked that mobile number and their standard greeting. "Hi" with no name following - like some lurker on a street corner? Origin should know better.

Received a text from this number making verifications for gas connection. It's not my name, nor my address or even state. Given previous complaints, did not engage to find further info.
