Caller: "Optus" Received three text mesages, two of which requested me to enter code to transfer to "us". A quite well written scam telling me I had requested to port my number to Optus. Looking closer the grammar is not perfect but it is good. Contacted Optus, then my provider and confirmed that it was a scam, and that as I had not entered the codes there had been no request to port.
Shortly after receiving SMS, received call (02) 9174 3000) from "Morrison" a senior specialist from "Optus" asking to speak to someone (not me) He asked why I did not want to port. I told him that I will ring Optus directly to see what is going on and won't be telling him any more. I did a search for (02) 9174 3000) on this site and it has been extensively reported as an Optus related scammer for years.
