What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 6655 6201

If 02 6655 6201 calls you:

• Do not: Answer the call or attempt to call the number back, as silent calls followed by busy signals indicate a potential scam or automated harassment system
• Do: Let the call go to voicemail, block the number immediately in your phone settings, and do not engage if you accidentally answer
• Do: Hang up immediately if you do answer and hear silence - do not wait on the line or try to get someone to speak
• Do not: Try repeatedly to call back 0266556201, as this may confirm your number is active and lead to more calls

Silent calls followed by inability to callback are classic indicators of callback scams, where scammers use auto-diallers to find active numbers, then contact you later with false claims or pressure tactics. Blocking the number prevents future contact attempts.
