Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do about a suspicious call in New South Wales?
Do not return calls to unfamiliar numbers exhibiting suspicious patterns. If the caller claims to represent an organisation, verify independently using officially published contact details. Report the number to help build community intelligence for NSW.
Are silent calls dangerous?
Silent calls typically indicate automated number validation — systems dial numbers to confirm which are active. While not immediately dangerous, they often precede targeted scam campaigns. Report silent calls to help build pattern intelligence.
Why do I keep getting missed calls from New South Wales numbers?
Single-ring missed calls from 02 numbers may be part of a callback scam or automated number validation. Operators use these techniques to confirm active numbers before launching targeted campaigns. Avoid returning calls to unfamiliar numbers and report them to help build NSW community intelligence.
This intelligence is derived from community-submitted reports within New South Wales and represents collective classification rather than legal determination. All data is processed in accordance with Reverseau’s classification methodology, which prioritises transparency and consensus-based assessment.
