Call Patterns and Behaviour

Reports indicate 02 4005 0315 operates across both answered and missed call channels, with callers sometimes leaving no voicemail. The recent report (dated today) specifies that callers will attempt callbacks if you answer, suggesting a list-building or callback-scam element to the operation. Multiple contributors have chosen to block 0240050315 entirely rather than engage further.

Called my office and rudely asked to speak to an executive staff member and wouldn't identify where they are from and gave me a very fake name. Definitely felt like a scam call. Ended up just hanging up on me.

Cold call, kept calling even after being told to stop three times
