Expert Opinion
Repeated unanswered calls feel like a scam, leaving you uneasy. The pattern of silent rings, brief automated goodbyes, and pretended affiliation with major providers suggests fraudsters attempting to harvest personal details. When a caller claims to be from Telstra, Optus or Amazon, verify independently by using official contact channels before sharing any information. Block the number on your device and report it to your carrier to help filter future attempts. Consider registering with the national Do Not Call list and enable call‑screening apps. Keep records of timestamps and any script details; this evidence assists authorities in tracking persistent nuisance callers.

The caller was attempting to deceive, pretending to be an Amazon representative
This offer seemed suspiciously good, with the caller claiming to represent Optus and offering a 40% discount for 6 months as a reward for being a valued customer. They possessed my outdated email address, likely obtained from Optus' 2022 data breach, and requested my date of birth, which I refused to provide. Although they promised to send a confirmation email to verify their authenticity, it never arrived, leaving me highly skeptical of their intentions.
