Frequently Asked Questions
How do I stop spam calls in New South Wales?
Register on the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au), enable carrier call-blocking features, and avoid engaging with automated calls. Reporting persistent spam to Reverseau helps other NSW residents identify high-volume campaigns.
Why do I get spam calls from NSW numbers?
Many spam campaigns use VoIP technology to display local NSW numbers as caller ID, even when originating from elsewhere. This CLI spoofing technique makes it difficult to distinguish spam from legitimate local calls.
Are 1300/1800 spam calls legal?
While some 1300/1800 telemarketing is legitimate, calls to numbers registered on the DNCR are prohibited. However, exemptions exist for charities, political parties, and research organisations. Report persistent unwanted calls through official channels.
Why am I receiving spam calls from New South Wales landline numbers?
Spam operators often use local 02 landline numbers to increase answer rates, as recipients are more likely to pick up calls from recognised area codes. These numbers may be VoIP-generated or purchased in bulk from number pools. Registering on the DNCR and reporting persistent spam helps build community intelligence for NSW.
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.
