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.
Beware of this scam call about an accident—avoid sharing any details.
I received a call about a vehicle accident involving a previous guest, which never happened. The caller refused to share his name or details, then ended the call.
They keep calling without leaving a voicemail or getting an answer.
Someone tried to convince me I’d been in an accident and asked for details, even though I’ve had none.
The caller asked if I was in an accident; I replied "which one?" and claimed short‑term memory loss, after which he hung up—clearly a scam.
Alert: the caller delayed answering, then claimed I was involved in a recent car crash. I responded, “This is a scam, definatly goodbye,” and hung up. Avoid answering such calls.
Warning: a fraudulent call referencing a car crash.

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.
