A text from Origin claimed: “Hi Huson, we still post your bills and letters. Switch to email by 23 May and receive a $10 credit on your electricity account. Reply ‘YES’ to have them sent to you. Wrong email? Update it at m.origin.com.au/e/email-update. Thanks, Origin. T&Cs: m.origin.com.au/e/ebill-credit.” This appears to be a phishing attempt seeking your email and potentially malicious.
Scammy Origin Credits – What to Do
Summary — +61481615252
Expert Opinion
Users report suspicious SMS messages claiming to be from Origin Energy, urging replies to switch billing to email with promises of credits, but linking to dubious sites like m.origin.com.au. These appear designed to harvest personal info or install malware, as verified by checking official channels. While some recipients are actual customers, the unsolicited nature and fake links scream scam. Forward such messages to your carrier and Origin's official support—never click links or reply. Log in directly via the real website to confirm account status. Report to authorities like the ACCC to curb these pests; blocking the number helps too, though scammers rotate them.
