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.

Caller: Scammer
