New South Wales Community Suspicious Call Intelligence
23,794 community reports classified as suspicious across New South Wales. Sydney accounts for 73% of all NSW submissions - the remaining activity is spread across 9 other areas.
NSW vs National Comparison
Of all national suspicious reports, 22% come from New South Wales. With roughly 32% of Australia's population, a 22% reporting share means NSW is proportionally underrepresented - other states are driving a larger share of the national total than population alone would predict. In the past 30 days, NSW suspicious reports fell by 39% - the national figure fell by 29% over the same window. That divergence points to a faster drop-off in NSW than the rest of the country.

How Suspicious Campaigns Work in NSW
Based on 23,794 community reports classified as suspicious in New South Wales.
Suspicious reports from New South Wales generally follow national trends, adjusted for the state's population size and geographic spread.

Where to Report - NSW
Report suspicious 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
What should I do about a suspicious call in New South Wales?
Don't call back numbers you don't recognise. If the caller claimed to be from an organisation, look up the organisation's real number and call them directly. Reporting the number on Reverseau helps other NSW residents.
Are silent calls dangerous?
Not directly, but they usually mean an automated system is checking which numbers are active. This often comes before a targeted scam campaign. Worth reporting if you get them repeatedly.
Why do I keep getting missed calls from New South Wales numbers?
Single-ring missed calls from 02 numbers could be callback scams or automated number testing. The idea is to get you to call back. Don't return calls to numbers you don't know, and report them on Reverseau.
This data comes from community reports within New South Wales and reflects what people have experienced, not legal findings. Classifications follow Reverseau’s methodology.
