Does the random aspect apply to the country code as well, or is that part mostly reliable?

While I'm not expert on the topic of configuration of auto-dialling systems, from observation I'd say that they need to set it somehow. Seems pretty common that if you get the same SPAM call in a day, it "comes" from the same country.
In fact it's normally regional too, come to think of it, if the first one "comes from" Queensland the 2nd and 3rd one on the same day are normally "from" Queensland too. But that may be the result of cycling through all possible numbers, too.

So, the country/region code is configurable by the bad guys regardless of their actual location.

I think tho, esp for Wangiri, it has to be a real ph #, as they would want you to phone them back, to suck as much ph credits from you, either postpaid or prepaid.
If its the fake AFP one, or ATO one, or Services Aus one, then its probably spoofed, so they aim for you to answer.

They must have been busy last night - I empty my spam daily and there were 30 this morning

One of my email addresses had been Spam free up until early this morning. About 50 completely random cough…

Several instances of copies of same email spiel but from multiple different fictitious email addresses. So some 50 emails but only about 10 variants

I feel neglected with my 3-4 / day. Though that is more than a few months ago.
Should I increase my email wandering?

Okay this is a first for me.
I mainly book hotels in Japan using JP sites only, never have any issues.
A few mins ago got this from whatsapp (obvious sign it's bs)



The booking details is half correct I guess, dates are right but that confirmation # is nonsense. Not sure where they hacked the info from??
