    2. Greg SM reported Charity scam with the number ‎0485901004 as Cost trap

      3/27/24, 10:17 PM

      A Facebook-advertised environmental organization was offering free everlasting seeds. During a lengthy phone conversation, they requested personal details and then attempted to obtain bank information for weekly donations. I informed them that I don't share such details over the phone and requested their request be emailed for consideration later on.

    4. Legend Kevin B reported Debt Collector with the number ‎0480039419 as Debt collection company

      3/28/24, 9:05 PM

      The caller, a male, had my full name and inquired about a specific individual, expressing a desire for their details to be conveyed. Since I didn't recognize the person mentioned, the conversation ended swiftly. Surprisingly, they didn't request any personal information from me. This marked their third attempt at reaching me within a few weeks, as I had ignored their previous two calls. While they didn't strike me as suspicious, I suspect they might be debt collectors contacting potential associates of individuals with outstanding debts.

    5. Bunny D reported Payment activity scam with the number ‎0863880942 as Harassment calls

      They claimed to be from Mastercard, alleging fraudulent activity with two overseas payments. I knew it's a scam so informed them that I had authorized those payments, after which they promptly 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.
