An Optus scam has surfaced online, with authorities warning customers to be wary of emails from the telco.

The ACMA has received multiple reports about the scam, which prompts users to enter credit card information to settle an unpaid bill.

The email claims that Optus is 'unable to process your last payment', and uses sophisticated web layout that looks similar to the real Optus messaging.

NSW Police have advised anyone who receives this email to delete it, and to check the sender details of this type of email before taking any action to pay bills.
