How Suspicious Campaigns Work in SA
Based on 2,318 community reports classified as suspicious in South Australia.
Suspicious reports from South Australia generally follow national trends, adjusted for the state's population size and geographic spread.
- National trends - South Australia suspicious patterns track closely with the national picture, with volume proportional to population
- Metro concentration - Most reports come from South Australia's urban areas, as expected
- Prefix spread - Activity spans mobile (04) and landline prefixes tied to South Australia's area codes
Where to Report - SA
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
- Consumer and Business Services SA - South Australia consumer protection (13 18 82)
- Reverseau - Submit a community report for any SA number
Even if a number has already been reported, your submission still matters. Multiple reports from different people strengthen the classification and help other South Australia residents identify it before they answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do about a suspicious call in South Australia?
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 SA 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 South Australia numbers?
Single-ring missed calls from 08 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 South Australia and reflects what people have experienced, not legal findings. Classifications follow Reverseau’s methodology.
