Expert Opinion
Evening hours in Sydney often bring these puzzling calls from unfamiliar Australian numbers. Reports describe voicemails in Chinese mentioning immigration authorities and pickup instructions, which sound nonsensical and suspicious. Phones frequently flag it as spam, with no messages left on unanswered attempts. This setup screams scam tactics, possibly impersonating officials to extract info or money. Hang up immediately if you answer—don't engage. Block the number, report to your carrier or authorities like the ACCC, and verify any immigration issues directly through official channels. Stay vigilant to protect your details from fraudsters targeting diverse communities.
