It always pays to be extra vigilant when it comes to sharing your personal, banking and energy account information.

Emails & SMS

From time to time, ENGIE may send you emails or text messages relating to your account and we may ask you for information such as your National Meter Identifier (NMI) which relates to your electricity meter or Meter Identification Reference Number (MIRN) which relates to your gas meter.

However, we will never ask you to confirm, update or disclose personal or banking information by responding to an email or text message.

Phone calls

If you receive an unsolicited phone call claiming to be from ENGIE and you’re unsure, politely hang up and call us back on our customer service number, 13 88 08 (Monday to Friday 8am – 7pm AEDT) or get in touch via our webchat.

If you need to update your details, we encourage you to call 13 88 08 (Monday to Friday 8am – 7pm AEDT) or by logging into MyENGIE.

What should I be looking out for?

• Suspicious email addresses.
• Requests that ask you to respond directly with your personal or banking details.
• Requests asking for your password or to reset your password that you haven’t initiated.
• Requests asking for remote access to your computer or to install a free upgrade.
• ENGIE headers, branding or logos that don’t look quite right including incorrect colours or stretched images.

What steps can I take to avoid scams and hoaxes?

• Always check your customer details (account, customer numbers and address) are correct before making a payment.
• Choose your passwords carefully and make sure they’re unique and difficult to guess. Update them regularly. Don’t use the same password twice and never share your passwords.  
• Put a lock on your mailbox and shred any documents that contain your personal information.
• Review your privacy settings online and on social media and be careful who you connect with.
