Expert Opinion
Surprisingly, this number flips between seemingly innocent surveys and outright tech support frauds, masking deeper scams. Callers often pose as reps from Australian entities like Service NSW, Telstra, Optus, or Coles, using thick accents to probe for personal info or remote access. Background noise hints at a high-volume call center, likely offshore. Hang up immediately if they ask for login details, device access, or verification—legit companies won't cold-call like this. Block the number and report to authorities like the ACMA to curb these nuisances. Enabling scam alerts on your phone helps filter them out proactively.
