I'm guessing this isn't legit. I received an odd text from 'Chorus' stating the following...

 

"Hello, you have a current Fibre booking with Chorus, we have a limited number of earlier dates available please reply 'BRING FORWARD' if you are available and one of our team members will call you to rebook a new date. Thank You Chorus. Ref #: ############'

 

From +642705688148003. The reference number doesn't match any other communication from Chorus.

The OP has contacted me and I have confirmed it is a legitimate message. The message has originated from our service partner UCG, and they used their own internal reference number on the text message. This is why it didn't match the Chorus reference number that the OP was given. I can appreciate how mismatching reference numbers could lead an end user to the conclusion that it's a scam message, so I will feed that back internally.





The views expressed by me are not necessarily those of my employer Chorus NZ Ltd
