Indian Scammers claiming Origin Energy has reported your electricity meter as being faulty & that they need to come and replace it with a new Digital Meter.

Was actually a legit call from intellihub. NOT A SCAM

The caller said she was calling on behalf of origin energy regarding recent installation of solar panels. Don’t answer it. It’s scammer

Caller: Intellihub

I got a phone call from this number and at first, I thought this is a scam. But it left the message to contact Intellihub at 1800 531 772. so, I called that number and turned out that this is a real call from intellihub to upgrade my meter box. Not a scam. This is from Intellihub

Caller: Jerma from Teleharp (?)

She said she was calling on behalf of AGL regarding meter exchange.

Caller: Claimed to be working for Actew AGL

If its not a scam and you want to replace the reader. Why are you calling the tenant and not the landlord.

Caller: (02) 9494 9010

Caller: Intellihub on behalf of Origin

Claimed to be calling on behalf of Origin to install a Smart Meter at our property and needed me to confirm details. South African lady. I asked her why I hadn’t received an email and postal notice regarding this and she couldn’t explain just said she doesn’t know and she is sorry. I told her I suspect this is a scam call and she said Thankyou and hung up on me! This is getting way out of control! Someone would easily be sucked into this rubbish, it’s terrible!

Caller: male european accent perhaps

Wanted details in order to upgrade ACTEW AGL meter. Evssive when asked for his details. I indicated I expected written contact from ACTEW AGL. Suspiciously scammy, thus this post.

This is not a scam, it is intellihub who work on behalf of the energy companies, swapping meters out for smart meters.

I had the same call twice but saying they were from Intellibub & that the meter wants changing because it is faulty. They said they got notification from our electrical provider. But our electrical provider knew nothing about it. Also if there was something wrong with our meter why are we still getting our electric bills?

Intellihub ringing on behalf of Origin Energy to book electrical meter upgrade.

Caller: IntelliHub

It’s Intellihub, the 3rd party company that replaces the old meter by digital meter for AGL. I had requested the meter change and they called me to schedule it. They didn’t come and they called to schedule it again.

Caller: IntelliHub

Not a scam call, I had requested my electricity provider to upgrade me to a digital meter, this is the supplier of the upgrade. In some cases, the provider may decide to do this themselves.

Caller: Intellihub

This number was used legitimately to call me & I also called the company back on this number. The company is Intellihub regarding changing my electricity meter to a smart meter.

Caller: Intellihub

This is a valid number from Intellihub. They deal with changing the electric meters. Our Account is with Energy Australia which notified us by email that the meter would be changed on a specific date. When this number first tried to reach me I presumed it was spam. IT IS NOT! Because I hadn't accepted the call, the change in the meter was cancelled. A month later the process started again with Energy Australia's new email notice. This caller tried again, and again my phone indicated spam. After I researched online a bit I decided to phone them back. It is a VALID number from Intellihub.

Caller: Intellihub

This is a valid phone number from Intellihub Australia concerning the upgrade/replacement of the electricity meter; seeking to confirm the appointment date which we received by email. Our carrier (source of the email) is EnergyAustralia, but Intellihub is the company actually handling the meter replacements.

Caller: I didn't answer it
