Over 23 contributors have flagged calls from 02 6145 2902 (also written as 0261452902), with reports indicating persistent contact from political organisations and automated calling systems.

One contributor described being asked about their biggest concerns via robocall and prompted to press a number to respond.

The pattern suggests these are campaign calls or political polling operations rather than scams in the traditional sense, though contributors consistently report them as unwanted and intrusive.
