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.
A recorded message warned of a service termination, offering English and Chinese selections; it appears to be a scam.
Debt collectors are using these numbers: 61 3 8340 7239, 61 2 4302 4806, 61 3 9448 2674, 61 2 4302 4801.
Got a call from an unknown number, and I have zero clue who it was – weird, right?
Likely spam.
A text pretended to be from Bendigo Bank, saying I needed to call about a transaction. I blocked the scammers.
A woman called Amy wanted to reach the occupied owner; she was overly pushy and rude, and when I said the owner wasn’t available and offered to take a message, she abruptly hung up.
The phone rang, I hit speaker, but only silence was heard.
A telemarketing call came through; I chose not to answer.
My spam filter flags a solar‑energy pitch, yet I keep getting notifications from the same number. When I called back, it went straight to a recorded message about solar services and busy staff – no actual ring, just a promo, weird, huh.
The caller pretended to be Amazon.
They’re pushing solar panels and batteries—getting these calls daily, FYI.
The caller requested a business owner despite the line being a private mobile; likely a scam.
A caller is promoting solar panel and battery installation services.
The number identified itself as Bill Cutters, hung up, and when I redialed I heard a generic “thanks for calling Bill Cutters” greeting without a real connection.
When I picked up, the line was silent.
He kept shouting a profanity with Rand repeatedly, like a dozen times in a minute, damn.
The call was a scam, requesting that I update my personal details.
A call alleging to be from Visa or Mastercard asked for my licence and card numbers right away, with poor connection – a classic scam call centre.
Daniella Sparta called cold, targeting real‑estate agents. I didn’t pick up, but it reminded me how useful the built‑in call‑screening feature is.

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.
