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.
They hang up when I answer. I've also received calls today from 0272383118, 0272383117, 0272383116. I wish they would stop bothering me.

Our motel recieved two calls from this number early this morning, around 6:30am, the person sounded intoxicated and was asking for help, but when I asked for their name, they just kept saying they needed help
The caller was intoxicated or under the influence, behaving erratically and being difficult to interact with, which was quite strange.
I received random text messages demanding money, followed by threats, and after two missed calls, I blocked the number, assuming it was either a wrong number or a prank.
This is a telemarketing number.
This is a fraudulent number. Avoid answering and block it.

It's surprising to see the map indicate a possible location of a spam center, from which an Indian or Pakistani customer service operator is calling on behalf of Engie Gas, raising questions about how scammers obtain their information
Located in Blackburn North, Victoria, it appears to be releated to Network Marketing Pty Ltd
It appears to be a scam, given the automated call and lengthy pause before someone spoke, saying hello repeatedly; I also received a similar call from 0375034981, which likely originated from the same group of scammers.
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.
