  • Scruff_Edges Scruff_Around_the_Edges (@Scruff_Edges) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Wtf is a try guy and no I won't google it, I don't wanna be embarrassed in front of the Optus Hacker.

  • justinjonesblog Justin Jones (@justinjonesblog) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    It’s the “Dear Justin” to “Dear Customer” for me. This really looks like a suss email that is doing Optus zero favours. #OptusHack #OptusDataBreach #Optus

  • rocky1622 Brian Humphries (@rocky1622) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @lynlinking @WgarNews L am glad not Optus customer

  • Troiboi troiboi 🤨 (@Troiboi) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @sezzoooooooooo lol no. But just don’t be overwhelmed by what’s going on. It’s going to be an annoyance more than anything. However this Optus issue will put everyone on alert. Which will be a good thing.

  • Chrisquirk Chris Quirk (@Chrisquirk) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @saltyskin_ Yeh I got it. Haven’t been an Optus customer in about 10 years.

  • kapokmeatant Gerry Atrick (@kapokmeatant) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    So I left Optus and now I can’t pay my handset balance until I go into arrears, apparently. Called them. Chatted them. Same answer. ****** my personal info, now **** my credit. Never again hey.

  • mikjcal Mick (@mikjcal) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @nicenuts @Itsrustyruss @Optus I can just imagine Deborah and Alan Boomer going in there and losing their **** at the poor staff who had zero to do with it. I feel sorry for the workers in retail. Retail is already a **** job, then you have this on top of it.

  • JimothyJimbles Jimbles J. Fry @ MIGW✨ (@JimothyJimbles) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hands down the least patriotic moment this games week has been explaining the Optus hack to @WritNelson, while simultaneously, the most patriotic experience being teaching him the nut bush

  • PetraElliott Time Traveller then/now (@PetraElliott) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @davenlamb Yep. Same wording. Granted i haven’t been a customer of optus in just shy of 20 years. So I wouldn’t be on a current mailing list. But my date of birth and phone number hasn’t changed in that time and I obviously can’t change/get a new DOB. It’s just super poor form overall

  • raymond3020 Adam Gemmell (@raymond3020) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus I received your email saying my license and passport was given as part of your breach. No further comms. Your website says I should have received a sms that was sent to all that has had their ID docs leaked. Silence! Been an Optus customer for 17 years. Not much longer

  • Troiboi troiboi 🤨 (@Troiboi) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus You’ve had numerous DM’s from me. And phone calls and live chats. A case manager is assigned. This is a bigger issue tho. And you guys need to recognise this.

  • Troiboi troiboi 🤨 (@Troiboi) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Why is the @Optus tech support service getting worse?

  • rebeccajpowell Rebecca Powell (@rebeccajpowell) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    It's taken 2 weeks for #Optus to inform me that my driver's licence data has been compromised. 2 weeks 🤬 Ridiculous that it should take so long & that I'm the one going to the hassle of addressing the issue. Of course they'll have no delay in sending out my bill 😒

  • scousehelen Scouse Helen(Helen Drinoczky) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (@scousehelen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus The saga goes on. A 4+ hours wait up to now on the app and still no nearer to getting my question answered. 24/7 help advertised but no mention of how long the wait is!

  • kelseyvh @kelseyvh (@kelseyvh) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hey @Optus I’m having nbn service issues. Your online messaging service is not responding. You network status page says “under investigation” and has said that for three days. I’ve sent you a DM but no response there either.

  • morrisd3_dm Morabeets 🇺🇦 (@morrisd3_dm) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @DarkMatterzine @joshgnosis Even if the documents were necessary they should never have been placed in an insecure situation. If the API's access was exhaustive Optus was stuffed from the get go.

  • Troiboi troiboi 🤨 (@Troiboi) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Anyone else got the new #AppleWatch and having no end of trouble trying to set cellular up? @Optus no help. @Telstra seemingly the same. Lots of threads talking about the issues. Why can they not solve? #apple #iPhone14ProMax

  • Stanleysmum1 Stanleysmum (Sharon) (@Stanleysmum1) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @somewherein84 Or insta! I saw a woman yesterday who blamed Dan for Penny Wong requesting Optus pay for the replacement passports etc 🤯I shouldn't have lowered myself to her level but I couldn't help myself

  • Snjezdamajana Snjezana (@Snjezdamajana) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Janskie798 @Optus Pfffttttttt why are you EVEN BOTHERING??!! The only way to reclaim your rights is to storm into one of their stores AND YOU DO NOT LEAVE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!! THEY ARE THE BIGGEST FLOG AND CAN’T LIE FOR ****!!! This all began 3 months ago!!!

  • aussiebluemoon Aussiebluemoon PAXed Out (@aussiebluemoon) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus when can we expect to see Pixel 7 phone preorder information? Current @Telstra customer looking for a better deal. @VodafoneAU currently looking favourite

  • Gmollica2 Gmollica (@Gmollica2) reported

    @OptusSport Friendly reminder that optus is upping their prices without any real notice. They're sending out a generic email that looks like spam which is really scummy. You have until August 1st to cancel your subscription

  • No1WillNot Katie (@No1WillNot) reported

    I needed a new phone, so started the process with #optus, and was told just that. Said I didn’t want to use direct debit for personal & financial reasons. Salesperson and customer service said they couldn’t do anything…

  • NoShins81 T Mac #Croker300 (Next Year) (@NoShins81) reported

    Ohh Intro from Rick #PodBingo Hi Pork, Hi Blake. Ohhh I see, @mattlenevez wants this #PodBingo!!! Is that a Matthew? As well? Na not paying it. This popular ramble is bought to you by the dubious and poor connection of Optus from my spare/laundry/office room. Ohh the boys just

  • Reegs79 Regan Phelps (@Reegs79) reported

    Get an email this morning from Optus telling me my account is OVERDUE! PLEASE PAY NOW! Here’s how you can get back on track. Was due yesterday. Calm ******** down.

  • davidwrunner2 david wyatt (@davidwrunner2) reported

    @Optus As a long suffering Telstra customer, it has cheered me up a little to realize Optus is worse. Customer service worse, technical support worse coverage worse..yes yes yes

  • Gieusahaggis1 Gieusahaggis (@Gieusahaggis1) reported

    @Telstra @ixrwork @Optus Don't bother. My issue was eventually sorted and I don't want to repeat the pain. Thanks.

  • BassVlogs BS. (@BassVlogs) reported

    @JR_24X @OptusSport It’s ******, and Optus customers get a discount of $6.99 as opposed to us receiving it for free for being Optus customers Their marketing team are spinning this as if its a win for the customer 🖕

  • SpaceTi51773359 SpaceTime (@SpaceTi51773359) reported

    Optus internet connection is down in my area at 2145 Pendle Hill

  • mattymattymot Matty M (@mattymattymot) reported

    @RalphyHeraldSun Having to play Stephenson certainly shows our lack of depth currently…never thought I’d say that after he blitzed the eagles for 38 at Optus less than 12 months ago.

  • Vass2016 Vass (@Vass2016) reported

    @Optus Getting told by your staff that our internet is active when it has been down for 2 hours tells me you people have no idea what is going on. When it drops out 7 times every day and again being told no record of it failing. Do we get a rebate for this?? Ofcourse not.
