Suspicious Call Reports for 02 8223 9770

Three contributors have reported concerning activity from 02 8223 9770 (also written as 0282239770), a Telstra local service number in NSW. The pattern suggests organised calling behaviour, with one contributor receiving up to 3 calls daily over several months without any legitimate voicemail or explanation for the contact.

What makes 02 8223 9770 particularly troubling is the technical inconsistency: the number calls repeatedly but when recipients attempt to call back, they receive an error message stating the number is not answering, yet it doesn't even ring. This combination of persistent calling paired with an unreachable callback number is a known tactic in scam and nuisance call operations.

What Contributors Experienced from 02 8223 9770

One contributor who received calls from 02 8223 9770 at their work phone over several months described voicemails left by this number containing unusual background noise. The first voicemail featured people speaking Chinese in the background, while a second contained only heavy breathing. Neither voicemail contained any spoken message or request for callback.

Another recipient of calls from 02 8223 9770 noted the number simply keeps calling with no message left. A third contributor attempted to call back the number multiple times but consistently received an error indicating the number was not answering, despite the number continuing to initiate calls.

Call Patterns and Frequency

The calling behaviour associated with 02 8223 9770 is notably aggressive in frequency. One contributor reported receiving calls from this number 3 times daily over an extended period of months. Across the reports, calls came through both as missed calls and voicemail deposits, suggesting an automated or semi-automated dialling system.

The voicemail activity is particularly distinctive - rather than a standard message requesting callback or providing information, the voicemails deposited by 02 8223 9770 contained only background noise and breathing sounds. This absence of intelligible content, combined with the high call frequency, strongly indicates either a malfunctioning robocall system or intentional harassment.
