Two contributors have reported the same behaviour from 02 7265 2800 (0272652800) - immediate hang-ups upon answering. This is often used by automated calling systems to verify that a phone number is active and answered by a real person. The caller may intend to follow up later with a sales pitch, scam, or other unwanted communication.
Should I call 0272652800 back?
No. You should not call back 02 7265 2800 or 0272652800. Returning the call confirms your number is active and monitored, which may increase the frequency of unwanted calls. Instead, block the number and ignore future calls from it.
Is 02 7265 2800 a scam?
The reports about 02 7265 2800 are classified as suspicious due to the hang-up behaviour, but do not provide enough detail to confirm a scam.

What should I do if 02 7265 2800 keeps calling me?

You cannot register specific numbers to avoid them. However, you can register your own phone number at donotcall.gov.au to reduce legitimate telemarketing calls. This does not prevent calls from scammers or illegal operators. Blocking 02 7265 2800 directly in your phone is more effective.
What area is 02 7265 2800 from?
The 02 area code covers New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, but this does not confirm that 02 7265 2800 (0272652800) actually originates from that region. Modern phone systems can spoof caller IDs, so the displayed number may not reflect the caller's true location.
