Call Behaviour Patterns from 02 7245 9665

Contributors describe two distinct patterns when calling from 0272459665. The first involves silent calls where the caller hangs up without speaking. One contributor who answered described receiving a call where the other party "bailed without saying a word" and suspected phishing activity. Another contributor received a missed call that triggered their phone's suspected spam detection, with no voicemail left.

The second pattern involves energy utility pitches. Two contributors reported calls about gas rates and energy bill comparisons from 02 7245 9665. One noted the caller was "banging on about gas rates" while another received a call to "compare energy bills." These contributors expressed uncertainty about legitimacy - one called it "legit" while another described it as "load of baloney."

Most interactions with 0272459665 were either missed calls or calls answered by contributors who heard nothing or encountered brief pitches before disconnection.
