Three contributors have reported suspicious activity from 02 7234 2123 (also written as 0272342123), with patterns consistent with callback scams and unwanted commercial contact. The most distinctive report describes complete silence when the call was answered, followed by the caller hanging up and then calling back repeatedly - a classic callback scam signature.
This NSW local service number, allocated to NetSIP Pty Ltd, has generated reports across both answered and missed call channels. The combination of silent calls, repeated contact, and callback attempts suggests potential robocall activity rather than genuine customer service.
What Callers from 02 7234 2123 Do
One contributor who answered 02 7234 2123 experienced silence on the line when they picked up, followed by the caller disconnecting. The same number then called back immediately and hung up again. When the contributor attempted to return the call to 0272342123, they were informed the number was not in service - a red flag indicating the number may be spoofed or part of a callback scam operation.
Another report describes the number as making "pesky calls" that never leave voicemail messages. A third contributor noted a cold call claiming to be from Shop and Save, suggesting the number may also be used for telemarketing purposes alongside the silent call activity.
Report Patterns and Timing
The most recent report about 02 7234 2123 was submitted in July 2026, documenting the callback scam pattern. Earlier reports from August 2025 indicate the number has been problematic for several months. The silent call followed by immediate callback is consistent with automated callback scam systems that attempt to connect answering machines or voicemail to paid premium services.
The fact that the contributor could not reach the number when calling back (told it was "not in service") while receiving repeated inbound calls strongly suggests number spoofing or a temporary service setup designed to evade identification.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does it mean if 02 7234 2123 calls me and goes silent?
A silent call followed by hanging up is often a callback scam signature. The call is designed to make you curious enough to call back, potentially connecting you to a paid premium service. One contributor reported this exact pattern with 02 7234 2123 (0272342123) - silence, hang-up, then an immediate callback. Do not return the call or engage if you hear silence from this number.
Why did the contributor say 0272342123 wasn't in service when they called back?
This is a strong indicator of number spoofing or a temporary service setup. Callback scams often use numbers that only accept inbound calls but reject outbound calls, or they may use spoofed numbers that appear to route to the target but don't actually connect to a legitimate service. When 02 7234 2123 called back after silence, the contributor's attempt to return the call received a "not in service" message - this pattern is typical of scam operations.
I received a cold call from 02 7234 2123 claiming to be from Shop and Save. Is this legitimate?
One contributor reported a cold call from this number claiming Shop and Save affiliation. To verify, do not engage with 02 7234 2123. Instead, look up Shop and Save's official phone number on their website and call them directly to confirm whether they made the call. Legitimate businesses do not initiate contact through spoofed or suspicious numbers like 0272342123.
Should I block 02 7234 2123 after receiving one call?
Yes. Contributors have reported this number repeatedly calling, sometimes hanging up immediately. One report specifically documented 02 7234 2123 calling multiple times in quick succession. Blocking the number prevents the callback scam pattern from continuing and stops time-wasting disruptions. You can block the number through your phone settings or ask your service provider for assistance.
What should I do if 02 7234 2123 keeps calling me back after I've blocked it?
If the number continues to call despite blocking (sometimes callback scams use multiple spoofed numbers), document each call with the date and time, then report to ACMA at acma.gov.au. One contributor noted they were "tired of these time wasting scammers" - repeated calling from 0272342123 meets the threshold for formal complaint. Your phone provider can also implement additional network-level blocking.
Can I report 02 7234 2123 to the Do Not Call Register?
Yes, you can register your number at donotcall.gov.au to reduce unsolicited marketing calls. However, the callback scam pattern reported with 02 7234 2123 (0272342123) is a different issue - silent calls and repeated callbacks are best reported directly to ACMA (acma.gov.au) or Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) as potential scam activity rather than telemarketing.
