Caller paused for a very long time after I answered the phone and eventually said Hello? When I didn't answer and paused for them to say who they were, they went silent so I hung up.

No clear pattern in reports on this number yet. If a call worried you:
If a caller says they're your bank, the ATO, Services Australia, a courier or your telco, hang up and ring the organisation on the number from its website or your statement, never the number that called you. Caller ID can be faked.
The National Anti-Scam Centre uses Scamwatch reports to warn others and to get scam numbers blocked. Note the number, the time and what the caller claimed to be. If anyone is in danger, call 000.
Registering landlines and mobiles is free and stops most telemarketing calls within 30 days. Charities, political parties, surveys and scammers aren't covered.
The ACMA collects unsolicited commercial texts forwarded to 0429 999 888 (standard message charges apply). Don't edit the message first. Scam texts that impersonate a bank, toll road or delivery company go to Scamwatch instead.
Don't call back an unknown number after a single ring (one-ring wangiri calls), and treat 190x premium numberswith care. Any number can be blocked from your phone's call history.
