Hmm, this one is hard.
To believe or not to believe, the sender is kosher/has scruples/is the real deal.
Did you hover over the sender of/in the email?

I see.
Then there is "private number", or "number witheld" or "splash"...

This is apparently not a new thing, but it's new for me seeing it pop up on my phone (a few mins ago) as part of an incoming phone call from an unknown mobile number -:

I’ve only just started seeing this on my phone in the past couple of weeks. It’s quite good I think.

Had a recording, it only recorded part of the recorded tape of the voice, "transaction for rail trip from Sydney Central Station to Perth East Railway Station for $17xx" if this was not you, press 1, this was on home phone, and only recorded as I mentioned part way through.
Family member thought they had something from the "security department of your bank" or something similar.
Not to mention the Wangiri calls from our cousins on the other side of the pond, +64 xx_ xx_x, (((thought that they would not play their tricks on the nearest cousins across the way...))).
