A lottery‑type pitch from a Queensland firm pretended to represent a non‑profit, sounding like US‑Aid. Google traced it back to China, yet the speaker had flawless English. I now trust cold callers zero.

Expert Opinion
Approach unsolicited calls from unknown numbers with extreme caution—especially those pitching lottery wins or nonprofit donations. These often mask sophisticated scams designed to extract money or personal info, promising returns that vanish into thin air. The caller here, posing as a Queensland-based entity on behalf of a nonprofit, shows classic red flags: fluent English from an overseas origin, vague affiliations, and pressure tactics. Block the number immediately and report it to authorities like the ACCC or your telecom provider. Never share details or pay upfront fees; legitimate lotteries don't cold-call for funds. If in doubt, hang up and verify independently to protect your finances and privacy.

A call from someone claiming to be from Shazam pitched a lottery‑style fundraiser for a Queensland‑based nonprofit, speaking English but never naming the actual charity. It felt like a typical NFP scam where the money disappears, and the request for personal details seemed insecure. I thought my number was only known to trusted contacts, but apparently not.
