WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did the caller from 02 0384 4087 ask about visa status?
The contributor who received the call from 0203844087 reported being asked about visa details before the caller inquired about language. This suggests the call may have been part of a targeted campaign focusing on visa holders or recent migrants.

Is 02 0384 4087 definitely a scam?
Based on the single report for 0203844087, the call is classified as suspicious rather than confirmed scam activity. The targeted questioning about visa and language, combined with hanging up when the caller's assumed criteria weren't met, raises concerns. If you receive similar calls from 02 0384 4087, report them to help establish a pattern.
What should I do if 0203844087 calls me asking about my visa?
Do not answer questions about your visa status, location, language, or other personal details to unknown callers. Hang up immediately if an unsolicited caller from 02 0384 4087 or any unknown number asks such questions. If you need to verify information about your visa, contact the Department of Home Affairs directly using the official number from their website, not through a number provided by the caller.
Could this be a legitimate visa inquiry?
Legitimate government agencies and service providers do not conduct visa inquiries through random unsolicited calls that disconnect when demographic assumptions aren't met. If 02 0384 4087 or 0203844087 calls asking about your visa, treat it as suspicious. Government agencies will contact you through official channels with context about why they're calling.
Why would a caller ask if I speak Chinese?
The contributor reported being asked this question after the visa inquiry from 02 0384 4087. This suggests the caller was targeting people based on assumed language or demographic profile. The immediate hang-up when the answer didn't match expectations indicates the call was selective, which is typical of targeted campaigns rather than legitimate contact.
