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 voicemail mentioned charges to my bank account, and a lookup indicates the number is linked to MOVIT, a Sydney‑based company.
The platform named “Julie” promises to locate remote employees “in your area,” which feels contradictory—remote staff can’t be local, so it essentially refers to local hires. Anyway, telemarketing…

The number called me but never answered, which suggests a possible phishing scam.
The caller represented a legitimate local pools and spas business.
Answered a silent call that just kept saying “hello?” before a beeping noise cut it off. A callback led to an automated message about unavailable reps, with garbled voicemail and no clear identity – definitely feels like a scam, FYI.
This is a scammer named Stanley Bumble – stay alert.
The person hung up as soon as I answered.
The person claimed to represent Telstra and wanted to review my bill, but since I'm not a Telstra customer, I ended the call and blocked the number.

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.
