Where to Report - WA
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 Protection WA - Western Australia consumer protection (1300 30 40 54)
- Reverseau - Submit a community report for any WA number
Even if a number has already been reported, your submission still matters. Multiple reports from different people strengthen the classification and help other Western Australia residents identify it before they answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do about a suspicious call in Western 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 WA 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 Western 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 Western Australia and reflects what people have experienced, not legal findings. Classifications follow Reverseau’s methodology.
