    1. Fiona VF reported HotDocs SMS notification with the number ‎0409593783 as SMS spam

      7/26/24, 9:50 PM via Android App

      The messaging service might not be authentic, as I’m not signed up for the HotDoc app. I received a message from a clinic I’ve never visited. When I called the clinic, they verified that I wasn’t in their system. It’s possible their service has been hacked.

    2. Cobranza J reported Network broadband scams with the number ‎0283108089 as Harassment calls

      7/26/24, 4:16 PM via Android App

      He mentioned it was about National Broadband Network upgrades and that someone needed to access the property to check the NBN box. I wonder how far they would go if someone fell for the scam and allowed them access.

      They claimed to be from Telstra and said there was an issue with my router. I found it odd since I use Starlink.

      A man called asking about our hot water service heat pump. After answering a few questions, including the pump's age, I mentioned it was around 3 years old. He then accused me of lying and abruptly hung up.

    Where does the information on telephone numbers come from?

    The main indicator of a number's trustworthiness, the tellows-score, is the result of a complex algorithm that is fed by your comments and ratings on numbers. Your participation is the key to successfully counteract future spam and scam attempts, since the caller knows who he or she is dealing with prior to answering the phone. Share your knowledge on the trickery of dubious entrepreneurs and help to deny them their unlawful treasure on tellows-au.com to protect fellow Australians from unwanted calls.

    With your spam reports, other people can easily distinguish spam from a genuine number and can pick up the phone without fear. It is never too late to help someone else before they fall for a new fraud. Scammers become more and more tricky and creative. In your comment, you can describe the fraud in details, so everyone knows where the thread is. Additionally, we recommend reporting scams to Scamwatch, the Australian authority for communications and media that can take further action and provides an overview and statistics about reported scams over the years.
