A contributor has reported receiving an automated robocall from 02 8318 9364 (also written as 0283189364). The call left a voicemail message with a Chinese-language answering machine prompt offering language options, suggesting this is an automated dialling system rather than a live caller.

The robocall from 0283189364 presented a simple menu: "press 1 for English or 2 for Chinese." This type of automated prompt is commonly used by scam operations to filter calls and route them to live operators based on language preference, or to test whether a number is active and monitored.

What the Robocall from 02 8318 9364 Indicates

Robocalls that offer language selection are typically associated with multi-lingual scam campaigns targeting diverse communities.
