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.
Calls from telemarketers.
Sounds like a Chinese logistics scam, yeah.
Looks like a fake Amazon Prime renewal; I blocked the number.
Looks like a fake delivery notice with a shady link, definitely not legit, bro.

Regarded as my Idol.
Calls keep coming up to five times daily before the line is dropped.
I have received several calls; they knew my name and I asked why their number appeared as "Suspected SCAM" via Samsung SmartCall, then they hung up.

That dude treats calls like a game—rings nonstop, then ghosts you when you finally return the favor after being away. He never replies, even when you use a clear number, and expects you to chase him. Seriously, just call back with a proper voicemail or email if it matters, otherwise stop the nonsense, lol.
An annoying caller has been ringing at all hours, asking if I’m interested in ‘getting with him’ and harassing me nonstop; I blocked the number because I’m fed up—what’s wrong with this guy?!
They shouted at my family while we explained our situation, tossed papers, walked away and blamed us for “excuses” – total disrespect and overly commercial. Needs investigation, doesn’t even seem legit. Just a heads‑up
It’s been a massive source of stress, man—already dealing with personal issues, then getting rude, persistent calls about urgency that never get answered, no callbacks. Should be barred from the profession; the erratic communication feels downright scammy.

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.
