WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did the caller from 02 7245 9640 hang up when my voicemail started?
Nuisance callers and callback scam operations often hang up immediately when voicemail activates. They're testing whether your number is active and monitored by a person, not attempting genuine contact. The contributor who received a call from 02 7245 9640 (0272459640) experienced this exact behaviour, which is a common indicator of automated nuisance calling.
Should I call back 02 7245 9640 if it calls again?
No. Do not return calls to 0272459640 if you don't recognise the number or if it hangs up without leaving a message. Callback scams rely on recipients ringing back expensive premium numbers. Hanging up when voicemail activates is a red flag that suggests the caller does not want to leave a traceable message.
Is 02 7245 9640 a scam or just a nuisance call?
Based on the single report available, 0272459640 exhibits behaviour typical of nuisance or silent calls rather than an active scam attempt. However, the pattern of hanging up when voicemail answers could indicate callback scam testing. If you receive multiple calls from 02 7245 9640 with the same behaviour, report it to ACMA and block the number.
Why would a legitimate business call and hang up on voicemail?
Legitimate businesses leave messages or wait for a person to answer. A caller from 02 7245 9640 who disconnects immediately when voicemail activates is almost certainly not trying to conduct genuine business. This behaviour is characteristic of automated systems or nuisance operations, not customer service or sales calls.
Can I block 02 7245 9640 on my phone?
Yes. Most modern phones allow you to block individual numbers. If 0272459640 calls repeatedly and hangs up on voicemail, blocking is the simplest way to stop the calls. You should also register the number on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au to reduce similar unwanted calls.
Who should I report 02 7245 9640 to?
Report calls from 0272459640 to the ACMA (acma.gov.au) if you believe it's part of a nuisance calling campaign. If you suspect scam activity, report to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au. You can also register on the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) and share your experience on Reverseau to help other Australians identify patterns with this number.
