If you keep getting calls from +61261452902, it’s most likely a political survey robot linked to the Advance Australia group. These calls usually play a recorded message about the upcoming federal election and never leave a voicemail. They’re harmless but annoying, and they can waste your time. The safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, then block the number in your phone’s spam contacts. You can also report it to your carrier or the Australian Communications and Media Authority. Remember, legit organisations will usually leave a callback option, so unanswered calls are a red flag.
