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.

No voicemail was left by the caller.
The call seemed to be from Finway Energy Solar and was a scam.
Unidentified caller; source unknown.
A man claimed to be a dog that steals weed and targets charity workers.
A nuisance call played an automated notice about services being unavailable, followed by a Chinese message.
No message was left; it looks like one of those Chinese scams asking you to update doctor information.
A man named James, claiming to represent a market research firm, repeatedly calls from various numbers and has become harassing. Despite my repeated requests to cease contact and remove my name, he continues. When I ask him to spell his company's name because I can't understand him, he simply hangs up.
A voicemail claimed they left something on my desk; when I called back, they said they were from an investment firm. It sounded like an AI bot, likely a scam.
They inquired whether I was calling to order a taxi.

The call originates from WorkCover WA, the government body that administers WA's workers compensation scheme under the 2023 Act.
They mentioned Wondi Yoga but didn't provide a contact number.
The call alleged to be from Visa, warning of an Amazon transaction that never existed; in reality, Visa doesn’t manage cards—such notices would come from the issuing bank.
A health comparison firm that knew my name called; I blocked the number.
After about five attempts from Aussie Assure this week, the returned call turned out to be from a telemarketer.
They didn't leave any voicemail.
Origin: Indian.

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.
