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.
They keep dialing back, claiming to be from "Con Cive" and present removal options, yet after I opt out I'm called again the following day.
Probably a scammer since there was no message, ya know.
Because the number was unfamiliar, I let it go to voicemail; it rang around 12:14 PM DST, typical for nuisance calls, left no message, and I blocked it.
The person identified themselves as unknown; a robotic‑sounding voicemail mentioned money being withdrawn from my account, which I knew hadn't occurred, yet I verified it regardless.
No voicemail left, just a silent ring – I skipped it, no biggie.
The call ended after a few seconds without any message left.
A man with an Indian accent asked for the business owner, then hung up when I inquired about his company – clearly a scam.
Requested to talk to the owner or manager; appears to be a spam call.
Could you provide the name of the person being called?
A pushy salesperson claiming to be from Symbio Networks Pty Ltd called me.
The caller mentioned my name, then disconnected after I replied around twenty seconds; background noise suggested multiple people.
The caller presented themselves as a survey, sounding like a robocall, and asked if I was eligible to vote. Earlier that day another number made a similar request. While it might be legitimate, the request for extensive personal data made me hang up.
A phone call warned me of a fraudulent PayPal transaction involving thousands of dollars. The caller, who sounded Indian, had a brief connection delay. I answered because I was expecting a call from my energy provider at the same time. They knew my name and that I have a PayPal account, which I had actually logged into that morning. I hung up, blocked the number, and deleted the call record.
I hung up immediately—clearly a scam call from Melbourne!
It appears to be a scam; the call dropped immediately after I answered.
A scammer urged me to "Get a life".
Just to be clear, I have zero debts – nope, for real.
A telemarketer based in Israel tried to sell products; I am not interested, so I asked them to stop calling.
This appears to be 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.
