Silent Call and Robocall Reports for 02 3813 8729
Community reports for 02 3813 8729 (also written as 0238138729) show a mixed pattern. While one contributor confirmed a legitimate Electrolux Customer Care warranty inquiry, another report flags silent calls from this number with concerning characteristics. A recent report from 0238138729 describes two consecutive calls with no voice or greeting, suggesting potential robocall activity. One contributor specifically warned against responding with "Yes" or any acknowledgment, citing possible scammer tactics.
The number is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd as a local service in NSW. The conflicting reports - ranging from legitimate warranty contact to silent robocalls - suggest either the number has been compromised or multiple callers are using this service.
What Callers from 02 3813 8729 Do
According to reports, 02 3813 8729 has exhibited silent call behaviour with no greeting or voice message. One contributor received two calls from this number in quick succession, both featuring complete silence. This pattern is characteristic of robocall systems that dial numbers without connecting to an agent, or attempt to detect if a number is answered to verify it for later targeting.
Conversely, a legitimate report from a different contributor indicates 02 3813 8729 initiated proper contact regarding a warranty claim inquiry, with identifiable customer care staff. This suggests the number may serve legitimate purposes but has also been associated with unwanted silent calling activity.
Report Patterns and Context
Three reports cover different scenarios. The most recent report from 0238138729 occurred in March and involved the silent/robocall pattern. An earlier June report described a follow-up call from a different number relating to a warranty inquiry, and the first report from November confirmed legitimate Electrolux Customer Care contact about warranty claims.
The timing and escalation pattern - from legitimate contact to silent calls - warrants caution. Contributors should note that legitimate companies occasionally use multiple numbers or partner contact centres, but unsolicited silent calls are a common scammer technique to identify active phone numbers for targeting.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 3813 8729
If 02 3813 8729 calls you:
- Do not: Say "Yes", "OK", or acknowledge anything if you hear silence - hang up immediately. Do not return the call. Never confirm your personal details.
- Do: Let silent calls go to voicemail. If you recognise the caller is legitimate (e.g., Electrolux), ask for a reference number and call them back using the official number on their website or your warranty documentation.
- If repeated: Block 0238138729 on your phone. Document the date and time of each call.
- Verify directly: If the call concerns a warranty or service claim, contact the company directly using their official phone number (not a number provided by the caller).

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 3813 8729 definitely a scam?
No - reports for 02 3813 8729 are mixed. One contributor confirmed legitimate Electrolux Customer Care contact about warranty claims. However, a recent report describes silent calls from 0238138729 with no greeting, which is a known scammer tactic. If you recognise the caller is legitimate, you can proceed; if you hear silence, hang up immediately and do not respond.
Why did I receive a silent call from 02 3813 8729?
Silent calls from 0238138729 typically indicate either a robocall system confirming your number is active, or a scammer testing the line before attempting a fraudulent call. One recent report described receiving two silent calls in succession from 02 3813 8729. The safest approach is to ignore silent calls and block the number.
What should I do if I said 'Yes' to a call from 02 3813 8729?
If you answered and said yes to 0238138729, do not be alarmed, but take precautions. Monitor your accounts for unauthorised activity. If the call was silent, saying yes likely won't cause immediate harm, but do not engage further if they call back. Block 02 3813 8729 and watch for follow-up contact from other numbers.
Can I trust calls about warranty claims from 02 3813 8729?
One contributor reported a legitimate Electrolux warranty inquiry from 02 3813 8729, so the number has been used for genuine purposes. However, to be safe, do not confirm personal or financial details over the phone. Instead, hang up, locate the official company phone number on your warranty documents or their website, and call them directly to verify the claim.
Who owns the phone number 02 3813 8729?
0238138729 is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd as a local service number in NSW. However, this does not mean the number is being used legitimately - scammers can use services provided by telecommunications companies. The mixed reports (legitimate warranty contact alongside silent calls) suggest either the number has been compromised or different parties are using it.
Should I block 02 3813 8729 or report it?
Yes to both. Block 0238138729 on your phone immediately if you receive silent or unwanted calls. Then report the number to ACMA at acma.gov.au and Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au. If you have a warranty claim with Electrolux, verify their contact details independently rather than relying on an inbound call from 02 3813 8729.
