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 person claimed there was a security issue with Telstra on my mobile.
No voicemail was left behind.
Skipped answering because the caller was unknown; anyone else getting calls from this line? man.
Got a robotic “Visa” scam call claiming my visa had huge charges, FYI.
The phone rang and the caller hung up straight away.
I think this number belongs to a spammer, you know.
A representative from Blue Badge Insurance called regarding a mobility‑equipment policy; this one seemed legitimate.
Got a quick spam call that just hung up without leaving a voicemail, FYI.
A recorded message warned that my phone service would be discontinued today; I hung up and consider this a waste of time.
The caller spoke Chinese, inquiring about scheduling a visit.
The automated voice greeted me with "Dear user" and warned my phone would malfunction, prompting me to press 1 for English or 2 for Chinese, so I hung up right away—what a gimmick, bro.
The line, identified as Movit, responded to a single inquiry, yet 18 months later I receive up to four calls daily. They behave like stalkers. Whoever operates this service should be ashamed—harassment doesn’t attract customers.
A fraudulent call was delivered in Mandarin.
Can anyone identify this number?
The number keeps dialing my line repeatedly.
Got a brief ring from a likely spam line that hung up after a couple of rings, dude.
I got a message stating: [Commsec] I'm Ella. The next hot stock has landed! Bullish indicators suggest a 33% rise soon. Reply OK for the code or Stop to cancel.
The line rang repeatedly without leaving a voicemail, so I blocked it.

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.
