Just had a genuine call from Optus checking in on my NBN setup.

This is a genuine Optus phone number; it is not a scam. I spoke with a representative named 'Kate' this morning by calling the official Optus number, and she called me back this afternoon using this number.

Uncertain User-submitted

This number called me but did not leave a message. I had also been dealing with Optus around the same time, so I am unsure of their intentions.

Scam User-submitted

A caller claimed to be from Optus. They knew my name and provided what sounded like a fake employee ID number. When I mentioned that it seemed suspicious, they laughed, which made me distrust them even more; it felt very dodgy!

This phone number belongs to Optus and is a legitimate contact used to communicate with their customers. It is not a spam number, so feel free to answer if you receive a call from it.

I was on a call with Optus when my call dropped. Shortly after, this number rang but there was nobody on the line when I answered. I am unsure if it is related to Optus.

I missed a call from this number, which was supposed to leave an audio message, but there was no sound. I had been in discussions with Optus recently, so it might be related to that, but the call was unclear.
