I received calls this afternoon claiming to work on behalf of AGL offering a switch to a newer cheaper plan. They did not seem professional and did not try to verify my identity first. I checked with AGL and no notes that these were legitimate calls. Be careful, don’t click on the link they say they will send you (I hung up before this happened). Scary thing is they knew my name and address the electricity is billed to!! 

 

So if you would like the info, these are the two numbers that called me claiming to work for AGL

03 7045 5945

03 6185 3544

I just received a call from Craigieburn Vic as well from an Indian man offering to upgrade my plan to much cheaper below market rates.

I asked questions about why they were calling and how they knew information about me - and they were quite rude and assertive. I ended up hanging up, but unfortunately not before I gave them my current post code : (
