If that's an Australian number, we actually have a reasonably decent enforcement regime. If you post the number then I'll have it reported to the ACCC, who I suspect would dearly love to actually catch an Australian fraudster given most of their reports are from India or Pakistan and somewhat untouchable.

Incidentally, a friend once got "Microsoft" on the line and they gave a return number. Curious, I called it. "Microsoft" answered. Quick as a flash I said "I don't have much time, they're on to us!"

They were unphased. Until I abruptly disconnected, then called Crime Stoppers and then conference called them in. Crime Stoppers were very unhappy with me for doing so, but after that call I waited 5 minutes then called the original number. It was disconnected!

It was using a calling card, so I needed to dial the local calling card number, type in my prepaid ID, and then the destination number. So, although the destination number was Australia, the issue occurred somewhere en route before then.
