02 6207 6600 (0262076600) receives mixed reports - legitimate ACT Health calls alongside impersonation scams claiming health appointments, parking fines, and MyWay cards.

ACT Government Number with Impersonation Risk

02 6207 6600 (also written as 0262076600) is a Telstra local service registered to ACT and associated with legitimate ACT Government operations including ACT Health, Canberra Hospital, and Access Canberra services. However, among 21 community reports, contributors have flagged concerning impersonation activity where callers misuse this number or similar information to commit fraud.

The pattern shows three confirmed scam reports using impersonation tactics alongside five additional suspicious reports. Contributors have documented callers falsely claiming affiliation with ACT Health, Access Canberra fines, and ACT Government services to extract personal information or create false urgency.

Confirmed Scams Involving 02 6207 6600

Three contributors reported clear scam attempts where callers impersonated ACT Government services:

• Health appointment scam: Caller claimed to be from ACT Health asking about a child's appointment but had no details about which appointment, child's name, or service. When challenged, the caller simply kept requesting child details without providing any legitimate context.
• Parking fine scam: Caller impersonated Access Canberra's fines squad, claiming a parking fine appeal had been denied and creating urgency around payment.
• MyWay card scam: Caller falsely claimed the recipient's MyWay card was missing, attempting to extract personal information. The recipient already had their card and immediately recognised it as fraudulent.

Legitimate ACT Health and Government Use

Offsetting the scam reports, seven contributors confirmed 02 6207 6600 as a legitimate contact number for ACT Health services. These reports describe expected, professional calls from Canberra Hospital departments, community health intake services, and appointment scheduling with proper voicemail follow-up and SMS confirmation. One contributor who works at ACT Health noted calls from this number are routine for their workplace.

One report specifically mentions 02 6207 6600 as legitimate for ACT Government services including WWVP licensing, rental bonds, and health services. This overlap between genuine government use and criminal impersonation is the core issue with 0262076600.

Nuisance and Suspicious Patterns

Beyond confirmed scams, contributors reported additional concerning behaviour from calls presenting as this number:

• Silent calls where the caller hung up immediately, then hung up again when the recipient called back
• Repeated calls throughout a year at random times from someone claiming to be ACT Health when the recipient had no medical appointments
• Multiple rapid calls with no voicemail, later followed by an email claiming contact attempts from a different number
• Calls disconnecting immediately when the recipient tried to return them
• One report of an unintelligible call with background noise described as gibberish in Chinese

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 6207 6600

Because 0262076600 serves legitimate ACT Government functions, context matters. If you receive a call from 02 6207 6600:

• If you initiated contact or are expecting an appointment: Proceed cautiously. Legitimate ACT Health callers should provide specific details about your appointment, service type, or reason for contact. Ask clarifying questions and verify any details match your records.
• If unsolicited and asking for personal details: This is a major scam indicator. Do not provide child names, financial information, MyWay card details, or other personal data. Hang up immediately.
• If claiming urgent action on fines, payments, or missing documents: Do not engage. Legitimate government services do not demand immediate information via phone. Hang up and contact the actual agency directly using the official number from their website.
• If the caller cannot provide specific details about your account or appointment: End the call. Scammers often rely on vague language hoping you'll fill in details yourself.
• If you are genuinely expecting a callback: You can proceed, but remain cautious. Legitimate callers will confirm specific appointment details or service context immediately.
• Always verify independently: If any doubt exists, hang up and call the actual ACT Health or Access Canberra number directly using contact information from their official websites, not any number provided by the caller.
