Where to Report - QLD
Report scam 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
- Office of Fair Trading QLD - Queensland consumer protection (13 74 68)
- Reverseau - Submit a community report for any QLD number
Even if a number has already been reported, your submission still matters. Multiple reports from different people strengthen the classification and help other Queensland residents identify it before they answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I report a scam call in Queensland?
Report to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au), ACMA, and your state consumer affairs agency. Reporting on Reverseau also helps - the more people report a number, the faster it gets flagged for other QLD residents.
Are scam calls increasing in Queensland?
The 30-day change at the top of this page shows a 33% decline in QLD scam reports, compared to -16% nationally. Seasonal patterns matter too - tax time (April–June) and the holiday run-up (October–December) typically bring the highest volumes. When QLD diverges from the national average, it often signals a state-specific campaign. Community reporting is what surfaces these shifts in real time.
What scam types are most common in Queensland?
Government impersonation (ATO, Services Australia), bank fraud, and delivery scams are the most reported nationally. Queensland also sees scams exploiting state-specific services - toll roads, utilities, and local government agencies. The patterns section on this page details the most reported types for Queensland specifically.
Can scam calls in Queensland use spoofed 07 numbers?
Yes. Scammers use VoIP to show local 07 numbers even when calling from overseas. This is called CLI spoofing. ACMA is working on it, but for now, don't trust a number just because it looks local.
This data comes from community reports within Queensland and reflects what people have experienced, not legal findings. Classifications follow Reverseau’s methodology.
