Check unknown Australian numbers with recent reports from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and more. Understand caller patterns and share your experience.
Unsure about an Australian number? Find fresh community reports to judge unknown calls or texts. Cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide show both legitimate callbacks (delivery, banking, appointments) and waves of phishing. Area codes (02, 03, 07, 08) are not reliable for location due to portability/VoIP — treat them as signal, not proof.
Good practice: return calls only via the official number on the provider’s site/app, check in‑app messages, and don’t share one‑time codes by phone. Enable device blocks and carrier filters (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone) and leave a short, factual experience here to help others.
I keep getting calls from this number, never answer, and have no clue where it’s based in Australia, you know.
That number keeps popping up on and off for a while now, but I never pick up, dude.

These are scammers
They called but never spoke.
Cold callers from a website, very annoying.
They claimed to be Amazon security—yeah, right, mate.
Definitely a scammer, bro.
A short call was made, but no message was left.
Received an app invitation from a girl my sister attended school with; the invite referenced her old school, and I'm unsure how my number was obtained since I was never listed as a guardian.
Fraudulent.
The number is spam.
An old schoolmate warned this looks like a scam; I avoided clicking, yet the URL appears highly dubious.

Company: Jigsaw Travel (www.jigsawtravel.com.au).
Call back via the official company number (website/app), not the unknown number. Check in‑app notices.
Delivery/appointment confirmations, bank callbacks, 2FA codes; periodic robocalls, smishing around parcels, and fake support hotlines.
Not really. Portability and VoIP make 02/03/07/08 weak as location hints. Context and content matter more.
Be concise: caller type, purpose, date and cues. Avoid sensitive data.
