Expert Opinion
Callers who repeat 'hello' multiple times before claiming to be police and then hang up often signal a scam attempt. This tactic is designed to confuse or annoy you into responding, potentially leading to more calls or phishing. Don't call back the number, as it could confirm your line is active and invite further harassment. Block it immediately on your phone and report the incident to authorities like the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) or your local police non-emergency line. If they call again, hang up without engaging. Staying vigilant helps protect against impersonation fraud, which preys on trust in official roles.
