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.
An unknown number rang three times in one hour, never leaving a reason, so I blocked it.
The call dropped right in the middle of Google Call Screening. Bummer.
A recorded message claimed I had two pending charges on my bank card, without naming a bank, so it feels like a scam.
The call appeared to come from the Firle News Agency, listing a news agent's number.
An automated voicemail said practitioner details need updating, which likely indicates a scam call.
The voice sounded robotic due to lack of human tone, and any callback attempts consistently fail to connect.
My callback triggered an automated notice that the number I dialed is disconnected.
This is a scam.
A phone call introduced itself as the King Kong marketing agency.
The entity is actually Royalwest Holdings Pty Ltd!
The phone rang during the middle of the night.
James from James Implant called; I was scammed, so I advise not answering.
Just a brief greeting; no further info.
A call from 'Robot Rob' claimed my GP needed to update my details.
Tonight after 6 p.m., four separate calls came in, each spaced 30‑45 minutes apart; I didn't answer and none left a message.
The call ID indicated the line originated from Bundaberg, but no voicemail was left. Over the last week I've gotten several similar numbers from the same area, all silent—likely the same source.
This appears to be spam.
I received a Chinese‑language text message inquiring about a garage door.
A childcare centre reached out to see if I’d like to start my own centre.

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.
