How Spam Campaigns Work in NSW
Based on 27,283 community reports classified as spam in New South Wales.
NSW spam reflects the state's large population, with campaigns concentrated in finance, telco, and insurance.

- Health insurance - Calls timed around the April premium adjustment period
- Real estate leads - Automated calls offering free property valuations to build agent contact lists
Where to Report - NSW
Report spam numbers through both official channels and community platforms. Each independent submission adds weight - a number reported by ten people carries significantly more credibility than a single report.
- Scamwatch (ACCC) - National scam reporting
- ACMA - Telecommunications regulator
- NSW Fair Trading - New South Wales consumer protection (13 32 20)
- Reverseau - Submit a community report for any NSW number
Even if a number has already been reported, your submission still matters. Multiple reports from different people strengthen the classification and help other New South Wales residents identify it before they answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I stop spam calls in New South Wales?
Register on the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au), turn on your carrier's call-blocking, and don't engage with automated calls. Reporting on Reverseau helps other NSW residents spot repeat offenders.
Why do I get spam calls from NSW numbers?
Many spam operators use VoIP to display local NSW numbers as caller ID, even when calling from elsewhere. This makes spam hard to distinguish from real local calls.
Are 1300/1800 spam calls legal?
Some 1300/1800 telemarketing is legitimate, but calls to DNCR-registered numbers are prohibited. Charities, political parties, and research organisations are exempt though. Report persistent unwanted calls through official channels.
Why am I receiving spam calls from New South Wales landline numbers?
Spam operators use local 02 numbers because people are more likely to answer a familiar area code. These can be VoIP numbers or bought in bulk. Registering on the DNCR and reporting on Reverseau helps.
This data comes from community reports within New South Wales and reflects what people have experienced, not legal findings. Classifications follow Reverseau’s methodology.
