A female synthetic voice warned, "Your number will be unusable in 2 hours, please transfer to customer service now." I ended the call before further details. The caller ID traced back to Newcastle NSW, which felt unsettling since it’s close to my area.

Australia: what to expect from calls
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.

Typical scam script: "Your number will be out of service. Please call customer service..." No company name was given, seemingly aimed at getting a return call.
Unwanted spammer.
An irritating group chat is requesting a deposit, and I can't block it.
After missing a call, I’m checking this number. I'm exhausted by scammers calling from Scammville. Interestingly, this page shows three views for the number. I never answer unknown numbers, and the lack of a voicemail feels suspicious.

FAQ — Australia
How do I verify callers in Australia?
Call back via the official company number (website/app), not the unknown number. Check in‑app notices.
What patterns are common?
Delivery/appointment confirmations, bank callbacks, 2FA codes; periodic robocalls, smishing around parcels, and fake support hotlines.
Are area codes reliable?
Not really. Portability and VoIP make 02/03/07/08 weak as location hints. Context and content matter more.
What makes a helpful report?
Be concise: caller type, purpose, date and cues. Avoid sensitive data.
