Energy provider AGL has warned of a hoax email in circulation with the subject “AGL electricity bill”. The email includes a bill for electricity with a due date.
‘Phone Porting’ and ‘Sim Hijacking’ scams are a very real and sadly all too common threat. Basically, scammers contact the telco retailers, they then request to port your number across to a new sim and/or carrier.
There has been a recent alert from the ACCC. They are warning the community that scammers are pretending to be from NBN to con victims out of their money and personal information.
