Fullerton
Scam

I received a call from individuals claiming to be contacting me on behalf of Energy Australia. When I informed them that I am not a customer, they momentarily paused and then stated they also collaborated with AGL and other companies. This is likely a scam marketing call. It's best to hang up if you receive a similar call.

T
Theus
Suspicious

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be calling from Energy Australia. I'm unsure if this is legitimate or if it’s a scam.

R

This caller continually tries to reach me but never leaves a voicemail. The caller ID shows a location in Clayton, Victoria, which raises my suspicion about their intentions.

G

They called, I didn't answer because I didn't recognise the number. They didn't leave a message so it mustn't be important. After reading these reviews I am glad I didn't answer. I don't have an electricity bill due to living in a company house with utilities paid for.

This number called me regarding electrical bills and very rude might I add. I didn’t recognise the number and it was too long to be the number of the electrical company I'm with. So I immediately hung up. And if you ever give any scam company your details CALL YOUR BANK AND CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
