Expert Opinion

Recent patterns show a flood of calls from a charity‑fundraising call centre using the number +1290070300. Callers often claim to represent organizations like UNICEF or the Wilderness Society, but the line is actually operated by a third‑party telemarketing outfit. Never share credit‑card or bank details over the phone unless you have independently verified the request. Use built‑in call‑blocking or third‑party apps, and add the number to your mobile’s block list. Register the line on the Australian Do Not Call Register – note that charitable solicitations are exempt, so you may need to request removal directly from the fundraiser. Report persistent harassment to your carrier and, if needed, to the ACCC.
