Contributors noted the voicemail went for approximately one minute without any comprehensible content, consistent with robocall behaviour where calls are auto-dialled to test active numbers.

Call Patterns and Timing

Reports span from September 2025 through January 2026, indicating sustained activity from this number over several months. Most interactions resulted in missed calls with no voicemail, though one contributor did receive a lengthy automated voicemail. The service is registered to a NSW local-service provider, suggesting the number may appear as a local Sydney contact to recipients.

One contributor answered the call directly and was immediately engaged with the competition claim, while others received either silent calls or unresponsive voicemails, typical of semi-automated robocall patterns that test which numbers are active before proceeding with scripted messages.
