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’ll step on anyone’s toes to advance, even exploiting vulnerable individuals during negotiations.

He is a scumbag.

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.
