After a missed ring, I returned the call and Optus informed me the line is disconnected—clearly a scam.

Ever received a mysterious missed call from an unknown number, only to find out it's a trap? This single report highlights a classic scam tactic: the caller dials you, hoping you'll call back out of curiosity. When you do, automated messages or charges might kick in, but here, Optus flags the number as disconnected— a dead giveaway for fraud. Don't call back unknown numbers; instead, block them immediately and report to your carrier. Use apps like Truecaller to screen calls, and always verify suspicious activity through official channels. Staying vigilant prevents these nuisances from escalating into real threats.
