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.

Got an email from Raleigh S. Eldert (0633) today about an unauthorized PayPal charge of $659.86. They say to dispute it, call this number and quote reference #UQ48. The listed BSB/account points to a NAB branch on level 5, 2 Carrington St, Sydney 2000. Digging deeper shows a PEH payment code, indicating a large corporate clearance house handling bank‑to‑bank and overseas transfers. Paying the scam will likely make the money vanish. Do NOT reply—report to ACCC Scam Watch. Just a heads‑up, mate.

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.
