Security information
From time to time, TPG may contact you for marketing or servicing reasons. TPG will never call you and ask for your passcode or password.
As part of our security measures to help keep your data and account information safe, TPG uses Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) such as one-time passcodes to confirm your proof of identity. It’s best to make sure that your mobile number and other contact information is up to date in My Account.
Unless you are communicating with an agent in one of our designated departments, we will only ever contact you via these methods:
- We will only call you from selected phone numbers.
- SMS from a designated TPG portal that will appear as TPG or one of our selected phone numbers.
- Email with offers, notifications or your bill from a TPG email.
If we send you an email, we will never ask you to click on a link to fill out your security information such as your passcode, password, date of birth or your personally identifiable information such as your address or payment details. Be mindful of scammers using clickbait or phishing emails to obtain this information.

What to do if you receive a suspicious call, text or email that appears to be from TPG
If you have received a call, text message or an email that claims to be from TPG but you suspect is not, or the caller is claiming to be from TPG but is asking you to provide security information or personally identifiable information, please report it to us.
Simply email customer_relations@tpg.com.au and include (where applicable):
- a screenshot of the text message and the sender’s phone number;
- the phone number that contacted you claiming to be from TPG and the date and time of the call;
- a copy (or forward) of the alleged email.
Social Media
You can communicate with TPG through Social Media such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. To ensure you are protecting yourself, please stay vigilant when online and keep these tips in mind:
- Never provide personal information in a public environment (including any Social Media platforms, or public review forums such as Apple Store, Google Play Store, Product Review or Trust Pilot).
- TPG Social Media Teams will respond to customers who make contact with us via our social channels but will never proactively reach out to you. If you are contacted on Social Media by anyone claiming to be TPG, do not provide any information and contact our official Social Media messaging channels on Facebook or Twitter.
- Don’t provide any personal information (including your passcode) in a message thread. We will only ever ask for this using our secure verification forms.
If you have suspicions about any communication via Social Media, please report it to us by emailing customer_relations@tpg.com.au.
