• Spam

Community reports for 02 4013 4722 (0240134722) describe persistent calls from The Funding Network despite repeated blocking attempts over 18 months.

Repeated Calls from 02 4013 4722

Two contributors have reported calls from 02 4013 4722 (also written as 0240134722), with a clear pattern of persistence and multiple contact attempts. One contributor reports that 'The Funding Network' has been calling relentlessly for the past 18 months, cycling through different numbers to bypass blocks. The second report documents hang-ups occurring shortly after answering, suggesting an automated or callback-triggered system.

The number is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd in NSW as a local service. Notably, one contributor holds a registered business number, which prevents them from using the Do Not Call Register - a common loophole exploited by persistent callers targeting business lines.

What Callers from 02 4013 4722 Do

According to reports, 'The Funding Network' associated with 0240134722 engages in relentless contact despite explicit rejection. One contributor describes blocking number after number, only to receive calls from alternative numbers - a classic multi-number harassment strategy. The repeated-calls tactic is documented across both reports, with one showing hang-ups immediately after the recipient answers, suggesting either automated detection systems or intentional abandonment once contact is made.

The behaviour described - persistent contact over 18 months despite blocking - indicates either a large call centre operation or a systematic campaign designed to wear down resistance. Business numbers appear to be specifically targeted, as they fall outside standard consumer protection mechanisms.

Report Patterns and Timing

Both reports about 02 4013 4722 confirm repeated contact attempts. The first report spans an 18-month period with ongoing calls, while the second documents multiple attempts within a single contact session. One contributor received the hang-up calls during a missed-call scenario, suggesting either off-hours calling or rapid automated dialling. The persistence across time and across multiple blocking attempts indicates a deliberate targeting strategy rather than one-off contact.
