The +61 870 922 512 line shows up in a laundry list of reports that point straight at a classic phone scam. Callers usually pretend to be PayPal, a bank, Visa/MasterCard or even Telstra NBN, drop a vague threat about a "suspicious transaction" and then try to yank your personal details. Most victims hear an Asian accent, get a recorded message or a press‑1 menu, and the call ends as soon as you push back. The number is likely spoofed – the real owner isn’t even on the line. If you get a call like this, hang up, never share passwords or numbers, and report it to your provider or the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
It's essential to be cautious of telephone scams, as they can take many forms, including calls from live individuals, automated messages, or even text messages, all designed to extract personal or financial information.
