Community reports for 02 7234 7454 (0272347454) describe silent calls, wine club spam, and debt collector impersonation from varying numbers.
Silent Calls and Spam from 02 7234 7454
Seven contributors have reported calls from 02 7234 7454 (also written as 0272347454), with two distinct patterns emerging. Several reports describe silent calls where the caller hangs up immediately upon connection, while others mention repeated spam claims about wine club memberships and debt collection. One contributor identified the caller as Francom, a debt collector, suggesting possible harassment from a collections operation.
The most distinctive pattern involves call variations. One contributor reported receiving multiple calls daily from numbers sharing the same first six digits (027234) but with different final digits, with new number variations appearing even after blocking. This suggests automated dialling systems designed to circumvent call-blocking, a common tactic used by aggressive telemarketing and debt collection operations.
What Callers from 02 7234 7454 Claim
Contributors who answered calls from 0272347454 report the caller identifying as either the Wine Club or Francom debt collection. One contributor noted that the caller claimed to represent the Wine Club, and despite blocking the number on their iPhone, the persistent calls continued from different number variations.
The silent call pattern is equally concerning. Two separate contributors reported that when they answered 02 7234 7454, the caller either remained silent or disconnected within seconds. One described answering to find two rings followed by immediate disconnection, a callback scam indicator where the caller attempts to prompt return calls to premium-rate or international numbers.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports span from mid-March through early March 2025, with calls occurring at various times including late evening (23:12) and early morning (03:02). The frequency is notably high, with one contributor stating they receive multiple calls daily from the 027234 number block, forcing repeated blocking attempts as new variations emerge.
The combination of silent calls, wine club spam, and debt collector claims from 0272347454 suggests either multiple campaigns using the same number or a spoofing operation. The callback_request tactic identified in reports aligns with the two-ring disconnection pattern, where callers intentionally disconnect to provoke return calls.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 7234 7454
If 02 7234 7454 calls you:
- Do not: Answer calls from unknown interstate numbers, return any callback, or engage with the caller
- Do: Let calls go to voicemail, block the number immediately, and if calls persist from number variations (027234 followed by different digits), block the entire range if your phone allows it
- If claiming to be Francom: Do not provide personal or financial information. Hang up immediately and contact Francom directly using a number from their official website or your bank statement, never using a number provided by the caller
- If silent calls continue: Do not return any missed calls from 0272347454. Returning calls to numbers used in callback scams can result in premium charges or connection to harmful services
Report Patterns on Reverseau
The seven reports for 02 7234 7454 show a clear escalation pattern. Early reports identified wine club claims, which evolved into silent call harassment and debt collector references. The emergence of number variations (027234XXXX) is particularly significant, as it indicates the operation is actively adapting to avoid blocking measures.
Three contributors rated this as nuisance calls, three as spam, and one as uncertain. The consistency of experiences across multiple contributors strengthens the evidence that 0272347454 is part of an active harassment or scam operation.

This is Francom, a debt collector
Getting multiple calls daily from numbers with same six digits but two different last digits, keep blocking but new variations appear
Constant calls from different numbers, hang up whenever I answer
Multiple calls from this number, hangs up immediately when I answer, blocked them
As a rule, I don't answer calls either on my land line or mobile, particularly those with interstate numbers. Some time ago I did answer 02 7234 7454 on my mobile and this caller responded as the 'Wine Club'. I clicked Block Caller but it has not stopped this pest - I suspect you need some fancy procedure with an iPhone to effectively block pest calls so these days I simply don't answer any calls unless my screens show incoming calls I can identify. There was a time when we were all polite telephone responders, but those days are now long gone especially if you want to protect yourself from the grubs that exist who would scam you or worse!
Persistent calls from different numbers claiming to be the wine club

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is Francom and why is it calling from 02 7234 7454?
Francom is a legitimate debt collection agency, but scammers often impersonate debt collectors. If 0272347454 claims you owe a debt but you don't recognise the claim, it's likely a scam. Never provide personal information to an unsolicited caller claiming to be a debt collector. Instead, hang up and contact Francom directly using a phone number from their official website or your bank statement, never using a number provided by the caller from 02 7234 7454.
Why do I keep getting calls from different numbers starting with 027234?
One contributor reported receiving multiple calls daily from numbers with the same first six digits (027234) but different final digits. This pattern indicates the caller is using number spoofing or an automated dialling system that varies the last digits to bypass call-blocking. Each time you block 02 7234 7454, a new variation appears. Check if your phone allows blocking an entire number range, which may be more effective than blocking individual numbers.
What should I do if 02 7234 7454 calls me and hangs up immediately?
This is a callback scam tactic. Contributors reported that 0272347454 would ring twice then disconnect, or hang up immediately when answered. Do not return the call, as this could result in premium charges or connection to harmful services. Simply block the number and if variations continue calling, block each new number as it appears. Report repeated silent calls from 02 7234 7454 to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
Is the Wine Club claim from 02 7234 7454 legitimate?
Multiple contributors reported calls from 0272347454 claiming to represent a wine club, with calls persisting even after blocking. This is almost certainly a spam campaign, as legitimate businesses respect call-blocking requests. Do not provide payment information or personal details in response to unsolicited wine club offers from 02 7234 7454. Block the number and report it to ACMA.
Can I block the entire 027234 number range to stop calls from 02 7234 7454?
Yes, if your phone supports range blocking. Since 0272347454 calls come from multiple variations using the same first six digits (027234XXXX), your phone's settings or your service provider may offer the ability to block entire number ranges. Contact your phone provider to ask about range or prefix blocking if you're receiving persistent calls from different variations of 02 7234 7454.
Should I report 02 7234 7454 to the Do Not Call Register?
The Do Not Call Register applies to telemarketing and marketing calls, which may apply to the wine club claims from 0272347454. However, for silent calls, callback scams, or debt collector impersonation, report to ACMA at acma.gov.au instead, as these fall under harassment or potential scam activity. You can also report your experience with 02 7234 7454 on Reverseau to help other Australians identify this number.
