A female synthetic voice warned, "Your number will be unusable in 2 hours, please transfer to customer service now." I ended the call before further details. The caller ID traced back to Newcastle NSW, which felt unsettling since it’s close to my area.
Robotic Scam Alert: Urgent Phone Threats
Summary — +61240584864
Expert Opinion
This number originates scam calls using robotic voices to instill urgency, claiming your phone number will become unusable soon and urging immediate transfer to fake customer service. Hang up instantly—do not engage or provide info, as these are classic tactics to extract personal details or payments. Localized to Newcastle, NSW, but the 'China Shipping Insurance' reference suggests a fraudulent scheme mimicking shipping or insurance entities. Block the number and report to authorities like the ACCC or your telco to prevent further targeting. Enable call screening features on your device for added protection against such automated threats.
