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.
A tailor named Aroon reaches out a few times a year to see if I need an appointment. It's not a scam; he's a genuine tailor.
These are scammers.
Total rip-off, obviously a scam, no joke.
This appears to be a complete scam. After I asked them to delete my number, they called back within an hour using the same line but a different caller ID. Their customer service is terrible.
They introduced themselves as Jathu-son, calling me 'son'.
Four attempts were made on Sep 08, 2020; either the call dropped as I answered or no one spoke. Very suspicious.
A voicemail from +610745218504 played only a repeated “Hello” with no additional message.
He said he was from Origin during last night’s call.
The number rang me three times this evening; incredibly annoying.
I receive daily calls from varying area codes; none leave a message. The latest number is new, while yesterday's had an extensive record. I chose not to answer.
If you try calling back, the line appears disconnected.
Promotional call.
Caller identified as Chess Property Consultants (www.chessproperty.com.au).
Friendly Plumber from Narre Warren South, VIC – plumbers & gas fitters – www.yourfriendlyplumber.com.au
Like many reports, three back‑to‑back calls with no voicemail; I blocked the number.
They pretended to represent Origin and inquired about my LPG bottles, dodging any identity verification and pushing me toward a "yes" response typical of recent scams.
The call was dropped as soon as it connected.
They hang up as soon as you answer and never leave a message when you miss it.
Clearly they have a list of Origin Energy customers—calls began the day I renewed my contract. Whether they stole or purchased the data, I’m not interested.

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.
