Expert Opinion

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.
