What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 8000 8073

If 02 8000 8073 calls you:

• Do not: Engage with partnership or discount offers, provide any personal or business details, or return the call if you don't recognise the number
• Do: Let it go to voicemail, decline to answer if the number appears on your phone, and block 0280008073 if the calls repeat
• If interested: Ask the caller to provide their business name and callback number, then independently verify via official business directories before engaging

Since the service type is registered as local, the caller may be operating a legitimate business but using aggressive or repetitive calling tactics. Nevertheless, unwanted repeated contact warrants blocking to reduce disruption.

Register Your Number on Do Not Call

If you're receiving unwanted marketing calls, you can register your phone number on the Australian Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. This is free and tells most legitimate telemarketers they cannot contact you. Telemarketing calls to registered numbers may still occur (charities, surveys, and some business partners have exemptions), but registration reduces overall nuisance calling.
