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 call was placed, but no message was left. I called back within two minutes and heard an answering machine sounding like ChatGPT, mispronouncing words.
I notice it appearing in phishing emails.
Alleged representation of a credit card firm.
Refused to record a voicemail.
Received a late‑night spam SMS at 11:31 pm pretending to be Coles, with a link like h***://colesgroupre.info/zjzemQ/. It's a fake, so avoid clicking and stick to the official Coles site or app for your Flybuy points. Block the number, by the way.

Found Mitchum operating out of Cabramatta, NSW – heads up!
These map services often list a PROBABLE LOCATION, but an 03 prefix doesn’t guarantee a Melbourne origin. Since Google lacks data on this number, it’s likely a scammer using a VPN‑based dialer from a phone‑bank operation, aiming to trick people into picking up. Once answered, they have a live person on the line. Block the number, delete it, and report it to scamwatch.com.au.
My mobile received a call; when I returned it from a landline, I got an immediate busy tone, suggesting a possible scam or marketing effort.
The call went through but no voicemail was left, you know?

Three times now – July 9, July 14, and ten minutes ago (4/8/25) – I got a PayPal‑style code after a purchase. Looks shady, so steer clear of this number, buddy.

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.
