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.
The caller pretended to be the tax office and mentioned a warrant; after searching the number I found this site, and it seems others have the same case file TX6972.

61721467438
Betrug
The number 0721467438 was used for phishing, posing as an unnamed mail‑delivery service; my voicemail played an automated greeting with language options, eventually a female voice in Chinese before I hung up and blocked the number.

Margaret Boon, located in Windsor, VIC, offers acupuncture services.
Currently I’m dealing with an issue on my Optus internet; a technician visit is set for next week. Over the weekend, the number 0291743000 called several times to confirm the appointment and offer extra help. The latest caller asked me to open the Optus app and grant remote control, and hung up when I refused.

Betrug
Missing the first ring, I called back; a man with an Indian accent kept saying hello without saying anything else before hanging up. I wonder if he was trying to lure me into a conversation to capture my voice.

Silent Call
A call came in; upon answering, only silence was heard, prompting me to hang up as a clear warning sign.
After filing an Optus complaint about my 2022 data breach via their online form, I recived two texts with a callback number and a simultaneous call from 0291743000. UNSAFE: Since those messages and the call, my phone keeps rebooting on its own. Trusting any Optus communication is impossible right now. OPTUS, if you’re reading this, your website’s security seems compromised too, as this all happened right after using your complaint form, meaning I can’t safely contact you directly.
Please stop being so dodgy, Optus.
The Optus complaints team returned my call regarding a ticket I filed.

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.
