Scam Reports for 02 3815 5662
One contributor has flagged 02 3815 5662 (also written as 0238155662) as a scam number. The report indicates repeated calls from this Crookwell-area local service, with no message left on either occasion. The contributor's certainty about the suspicious nature suggests a pattern of unwanted contact from 0238155662.
The number is allocated to Symbio Networks in New South Wales, operating as a local service. However, allocation to a legitimate provider does not guarantee legitimate use of the line - phone numbers can be spoofed or misused regardless of their registered service type.
Call Pattern from 02 3815 5662
The contributor received multiple calls from 02 3815 5662 without any voicemail being left. The absence of a message is a common pattern in scam and spam operations, as callers often hang up or use automated systems that do not record messages when a call goes unanswered.
The repeated nature of calls from 0238155662 to the same person suggests potential targeting rather than random dialling, though a single report limits the ability to identify broader patterns affecting other recipients.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did 02 3815 5662 call but leave no message?
Scammers and spam operators often use automated systems that hang up or drop the call when voicemail is reached, as they are fishing for live answers rather than leaving a trail. The contributor's report about 0238155662 shows this pattern - repeated calls with no voicemail left. This behaviour is typical of robocall operations or manual dialling campaigns where the caller abandons calls that don't connect to a person.
Should I call back the missed call from 0238155662?
No. Do not return calls to unknown numbers, including 02 3815 5662. Calling back unknown numbers can confirm your number is active, leading to more calls, and in some cases may connect you to a premium service or scam operation. If the call was from a legitimate organisation, they will try again or you can contact them directly using a number you verify independently.
Is 02 3815 5662 definitely a scam?
One contributor reported 02 3815 5662 as a suspected scam based on repeated calls with no message. However, a single report means limited visibility into the full picture. Phone numbers can be misused by scammers even when legitimately allocated. If you receive calls from 0238155662, assess based on your own experience - repeated calls with no voicemail and no legitimate reason for contact are red flags.
How can I block 02 3815 5662 on my phone?
Most smartphones allow you to block numbers directly. On iPhone, open the recent calls list, find 02 3815 5662, tap the info icon, and select 'Block this Caller'. On Android, open your phone app, find the number 0238155662, tap the three dots, and select 'Block number'. You can also contact your phone provider to request they block the number at the network level.
What if 02 3815 5662 claims to be from a legitimate company?
Hang up immediately and do not provide any information. If the call is genuine, the organisation can contact you again through official channels. Verify the claim by contacting the organisation directly using a phone number from their official website or official documentation - never use a number the caller provides. Scammers often impersonate legitimate companies, so this verification step is critical.
Where do I report calls from 0238155662?
Report the number 02 3815 5662 or 0238155662 to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au), the ACMA (acma.gov.au), or the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) depending on the type of call. You can also report your experience on Reverseau to help other Australians. Multiple reports from different people build a clearer picture of how the number is being used.
