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.

Nana Shaz reported unknown with the number 0269171707 as Harassment calls
Interestingly, nobody had my number.. I had it less than a month when the calls began, a few months ago.. The only person I'd given my number to, was my local Federal MPs receptionist.. And the calls began that night.. I found that worth thinking about.. (we were not in agreeance, btw)
3 Ratings for 0269171707 (Griffith Temora Wagga Wagga)
I get calls from this number, from Wagga Wagga.. its always a recorded message from a robot representative, purportedly from either Amazon or Ebay, rushing to inform me that $299 (amongst different amounts) will be immediately taken from my bank account, to honour an online purchase.. To change this, i was to press 1 (from memory)..
The hurrying voice probably gives me 2 or 3 seconds to respond..
They're clever.. completely morally bankrupt, but clever.. Not giving the receiver a chance to think about it.. Leaving them open to making unexpected spontaneous, often bad, decisions..
I've read on other sites that they claim to be from the NBN, also.. They then attempt to take over our computers .. With our guidance, ofcourse.. -
