02 8091 0103 (0280910103): 15 reports of automated calls, pre-recorded surveys, and late evening robocalls from NSW. Contributors report calls after 7:30 PM with abrupt disconnections.
Robocall Activity from 02 8091 0103
Fifteen contributors have reported automated calls from 02 8091 0103 (also written as 0280910103), with the vast majority involving pre-recorded messages or robocall technology. The pattern is distinctly different from human-initiated contact - callers are consistently described as automated systems, with many reports noting either complete silence, ultra-brief voicemail fragments under one second, or abrupt disconnections when recipients don't respond as expected.
The number is allocated to Optus Networks in NSW. Multiple contributors explicitly noted the automated nature of interactions from 0280910103, describing the caller as "a pre-recorded message" or "someone talking over me like a pre-recorded message" when answered.
What Callers from 02 8091 0103 Say
The few reports where contributors engaged with 02 8091 0103 describe pre-recorded survey requests. One contributor received a call attempting to lure them into what was described as a "completely anonymous" survey promising a prize - a classic too-good-to-be-true angle common in automated scam systems. Another report detailed a pre-recorded message about "getting feedback on community stuff," though the recording cut out before providing concrete details.
Multiple reports from 0280910103 mention survey-style robocalls that terminate abruptly when the recipient doesn't provide expected responses. Several contributors described voicemail deposits that were impossibly brief - under one second - suggesting automated placeholder messages or intentional testing calls to verify active numbers.
Calling Patterns and Timing
A striking pattern emerges around timing: at least six separate reports about 02 8091 0103 document calls arriving after 7:30 PM, with several specifically noting 8:00 PM or later. One contributor received a call at 9:28 PM, another at 8:31 PM. These late evening calls are consistent with automated dialling campaigns that operate outside typical business hours.
Repetition is also evident - one contributor reported receiving two missed calls from 0280910103 within 15 minutes. Another documented receiving a call from the 02 number followed immediately by a second call from a private number, suggesting potential callback-scam sequencing. Multiple contributors noted leaving no voicemail, yet still received pre-recorded messages deposited on their accounts from 02 8091 0103.
Contributors reported blocking the number after these interactions, with several mentioning they had already seen complaints online before being contacted themselves.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 8091 0103
If 02 8091 0103 calls you, the safest approach is not to engage. Do not press any keypad options, do not stay on the line, and do not provide any response - robocalls often use your engagement to confirm your number is active for further targeting.
Hang up immediately if you answer. If you receive a voicemail from 0280910103, do not return the call. Do not click any links or follow instructions mentioned in pre-recorded messages, particularly if they reference surveys, prizes, or requests for personal information.
Block the number in your phone settings. If you are on the Do Not Call Register, a robocall from 02 8091 0103 represents a breach of that registration - document the date and time of the call.
What to Do If You Receive an SMS from 02 8091 0103
While most reports about 02 8091 0103 involve calls and voicemail, if an SMS message arrives from this number, do not click any links or reply. SMS-based robocalls are increasingly common and often lead to phishing pages or credential harvesting. Report the message to your phone provider and forward it to 0429 999 888 (ACMA's SMS spam reporting line).
How to Report 02 8091 0103
Report this number to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). You can lodge a complaint via acma.gov.au - ACMA tracks complaint patterns and can take action against persistent robocall operators.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why am I getting repeated calls from 02 8091 0103 at night?
Multiple contributors report that 02 8091 0103 calls after 7:30 PM with pre-recorded messages. Automated robocall systems often target evening and late-night hours when live operators are unavailable, reducing costs. The number is allocated to Optus Networks in NSW, but appears to be used for automated campaigns rather than legitimate customer service. Block the number and report to ACMA via acma.gov.au.
What does the voicemail from 0280910103 say?
Contributors report that voicemails from 0280910103 are typically either ultra-brief (under one second, described as "clear as mud") or pre-recorded survey requests. One report mentioned a message about 'community feedback,' but it cut out before providing details. Do not return calls to 0280910103 - these voicemail deposits are generated by automated systems to confirm your number is active.
Is 02 8091 0103 a scam or just spam?
Reports about 02 8091 0103 show mixed intent - some calls are aggressive spam surveys, while at least one specifically tried to lure contributors into an 'anonymous' survey for a prize. The consistent use of robocall technology and late-night timing suggests the number is part of a systematic campaign. Whether scam or spam, do not engage. Hang up, block, and report to ACMA.
Why did I get two calls from 02 8091 0103 in 15 minutes with no message?
Robocall systems often use rapid-fire calling patterns to reach target lists. Contributors have reported multiple calls from 0280910103 in short timeframes with no voicemail left initially, then pre-recorded messages appearing later. This is typical of automated dialling campaigns testing which numbers are active. Block the number - further calls indicate the campaign has marked your number as responsive.
Should I press any buttons if 02 8091 0103 calls and offers a survey?
No. Do not press any keypad options, respond verbally, or engage in any way with 02 8091 0103. Pressing buttons or staying on the line confirms your number is active and monitored by a person, leading to more calls. One contributor was targeted with a 'completely anonymous' survey prize offer from 0280910103 - these are designed to capture responses that feed further campaigns. Hang up immediately.
Can I report 02 8091 0103 to the Do Not Call Register?
Yes. If 02 8091 0103 called you after 7:30 PM or repeatedly on the same day, and you're on the Do Not Call Register, this is a breach. Report it directly via donotcall.gov.au with the date and time. You can also report the robocall pattern to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) if any scam offer was involved with 0280910103.
