What to Do If You Receive a Voicemail from 02 8112 8227
If you receive a voicemail in an unfamiliar language from 02 8112 8227, consider these steps:
- Do: Listen to the full message if you're comfortable doing so, or ask a friend who speaks the language to help translate
- Do: Check if the number matches any known contacts, services, or organisations you've recently interacted with
- Do: Report it on Reverseau if you believe it's unwanted or suspicious
- Do not: Return the call without first understanding who is calling
- Do not: Assume it's scam activity simply because it's in another language - legitimate overseas family, friends, or service providers may call
Possible Reasons for Language-Based Voicemails
Voicemails in languages other than English can occur for several reasons. They may be from family members or contacts overseas, legitimate business services that operate multilingually, or occasionally misdirected calls intended for someone else. Without additional context about the caller's identity or intent, a voicemail in Chinese alone does not confirm scam or spam activity.
If you do not recognise 02 8112 8227 and do not expect calls from Chinese-speaking contacts, simply deleting the voicemail and blocking the number if calls repeat is a straightforward response.
