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.
Two calls arrived within five days; I answered the first and they hung up, and ignored the second—still no idea where they’re coming from.
When you say hello, the call hangs up, and you can’t call back due to incoming call restrictions.
Scam: fake rebate offer with no address or callback number, and they hang up if challenged.
Never answer; just hang up as soon as you pick up.
When they hung up the second I answered, I was like ‘Seriously? Some of us are busy!’ and I blocked the number, ya know.
The offer promises a government grant and a re‑training certificate, but it’s just a waste of time.

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.
