Ever wonder why that same unknown number keeps popping up on your caller ID? It’s usually a telemarketer or automated robocall that’s using a spoofed ID to slip past filters. The best defense is to let the call go to voicemail, then block the number in your phone’s settings or with your carrier’s call‑blocking service. Register your line on the Do Not Call list and report persistent offenders to the ACCC. Never share personal or financial details with callers who hang up or sound suspicious. If the calls keep coming, consider a third‑party blocking app that identifies known scam prefixes and filters them out automatically.
I manage the phone lines at a bar, and we've been getting voicemails from this number (0011976000) for months. They never leave a clear message, just some guy mumbling or saying 'Hi Lizzie, it's 2 pm, call me back' - super misleading. Don't think they're legit.
I've been getting calls from this number nonstop, even though I'm on the do-not-call register. So frustrating - can't they just leave me alone?

Not 100% sure, but I think I got a call from PayPal arround the same time. It was an automated message asking me to enter the pin number they just sent me via email - supposedly for a password reset. Might be a clue for someone?
This guy called my landline, saying I had error messages on my computer and that he was from Telstra. But he had an Indian accent, so I knew it was a scam. Had to get him to repeat himself a few times.
Been getting these weird calls nonstop from this number - like, every half hour, even at 10 pm. I answered once, and the guy asked about my Microsoft Windows. I hung up ASAP. I've even left my phone off the hook for 2 hours to tie up their line - little victories, right?
Got a call from this number today - some American guy named Tyrell Sanders (I'm in Australia). He said congrats, I won a trip for 4 to Florida and a Bahamas cruse. But the background noise was super loud, like a call center. And I don't remember entering any competition like that.
I've been getting calls from this number nonstop for 6 months now. Finaly, I called Optus to complain, and they told me to use *69 to trace the last call. Turns out it's some Korean guy who doesn't speak English, sounds drunk, and is looking for his son.

There's this group of Asians that keep calling me - been going on for 2-3 years now. Same old story: some guy with a thick accent claims he's from Microsft and that my computer's broken. I've tried messing with them, asking 'which computer?' (we have 6 PCs at home), but they never give up.
