Mixed Reports for 02 7226 8900
The number 02 7226 8900 (also written as 0272268900) has received three community reports with conflicting assessments. One contributor confirmed a legitimate call from NAB's Martin Place branch in Sydney. However, two other reports flag uncertainty about the caller's identity and the purpose of the call, suggesting some callers claiming to represent NAB from this number may not be genuine.
This mixed pattern - where some calls appear legitimate while others raise questions - can indicate either inconsistent call handling from a real NAB branch, or potential misuse of the number by bad actors impersonating NAB staff.
What Contributors Reported About 02 7226 8900
One contributor who answered a call from 02 7226 8900 stated it "seemed legitimate" and identified the caller as being from NAB Martin Place in Sydney's CBD. This suggests the number may be genuinely associated with NAB's operations.
A second contributor received a missed call from 0272268900 but no voicemail was left. This contributor noted suspicion based on the lack of message and comments from other reporters, which is a common indicator of robocalls or automated scam systems that hang up when voicemail picks up.
A third contributor who answered a call claiming to be from the Martin Place branch reported uncertainty about the actual purpose of the call. The contributor could not clearly establish what the caller wanted, raising questions about call legitimacy despite the branch name being mentioned.
Report Patterns and Timing
The three reports span from December 2024 to December 2025, with calls arriving via both answered and missed call scenarios. Two reports came through answered calls, one through a missed call. The spread of reports across different months and the lack of a clear escalating pattern suggest this may not be a high-volume robocall operation.
The fact that no specific scam tactic was identified in any report (no mention of urgency, threats, false claims, or financial demands) distinguishes 02 7226 8900 from typical scam numbers flagged on Reverseau.
