Rang. No message left. Gut feeling reading the other posts is don’t trust it.

Called left no message. Answered next call, said they were Optus wanting to connect NBN today. Very pushy, wanted to call back when I said no. Not sure if really Optus but I see another comment below saying it's not. Blocked number.

This and a whole raft of numbers call me at least twice a day. I answered one once by mistake and got the tell tale computer beep and dead air. I hung up in a hurry. Pretty sure this is an onging scam. I also have these calls coming to my home phone which is now on permanent screening.

Called and claimed to be from Optus saying they could lower my bills. All Optus numbers come up as being from Optus though and Optus says they have no affiliation with this number so watch yourself, it's annoying at best and a scam at worse.
