Tips for Identifying Callers
Enter the number in multiple lookup sites to compare reports and details.
Look for recent user comments about scams or persistent marketing calls.
Use the government’s Do Not Call Register to see if your number is protected. Report aggressive marketing or scam calls to Scamwatch or the ACCC.
These resources help you quickly assess if a call is suspicious and connect with others who may have received the same call for up-to-date information.
How to report a suspicious Australian phone number to Scamwatch
To report a suspicious Australian phone number to Scamwatch, visit the Scamwatch website and use their online scam report form. This form will guide you step by step to provide details about the call, including the phone number, nature of the scam, and any relevant information about your experience.
If you believe you are in immediate danger or the scam involves a threat, contact emergency services by calling 000. For other scam-related issues, once you complete and submit the Scamwatch form, your report will help authorities track scam trends and warn the public, although you won’t receive a direct response from Scamwatch.
