Claiming to be Optus, offered me a 50 percent discount on my current bill, but then when I said I'm not with Optus you're obviously a scam she hung up.
I had a call from this number, a woman claiming to be from Optus said that I was receiving 6 months of my phone plan at half price. She then tried to reset my password for Microsoft. This is a scam.

Scam Alert: Beware of Calls from 07 239 8769!
I received a call from this number, and it was 100% a scam. A woman with a foreign accent claimed to be from Optus, but the number itself didn’t seem legitimate. When I questioned her, she said she’d get her “supervisor,” who then tried a common scam tactic: they sent me a Microsoft Account password reset code and asked me to share it. Why would Optus ever need a Microsoft code? Huge red flag!
To test them, I called the number back from another phone while they were still on the line—it had a weird, unprofessional recorded message. When I confronted the “supervisor” about this, he got defensive, told me to call again, and then hung up. When I called back, he answered with “Hello, Optus!” but it was clearly a fake setup.
This is a phishing scam designed to steal your personal information or hack your accounts. DO NOT trust this number or share any codes they ask for. Stay vigilant, and always verify calls by contacting the company directly using their official contact information.
Report this number to your service provider and Scamwatch to help stop these criminals. Stay safe!
