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 number matches those used by my former real estate agent and dentist for reminder texts; likely a linked number from their service platform, possibly Telstra, to dispatch SMS to clients.
Received a text asking for my online order receipt, claiming to be United Parcel Service needing it for Border Force – likely fraudulent.
A DHL-related message about shipment changes was sent, but the link directed to www.serviz.com instead of the official DHL site.
The message claimed customs couldn’t clear my parcel and would abandon it, yet it knew my name, number, and that I bought from Felina World – definitely a scam, ignore any contact from them.
The business listed is Crawford Glass & Aluminium located in Tumut, New South Wales.
A bothersome nuisance.

Fraudulent.

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.
