What Callers from 02 8318 9365 Do

Based on the report, the robocall from 02 8318 9365 delivers pre-recorded messages rather than connecting to a live caller. The use of a Chinese-language recording to an English-speaking Australian household suggests either a misdirected scam campaign or intentional targeting. Robocalls of this nature typically aim to:

• Trigger callbacks to premium-rate numbers or scam hotlines
• Gather responses to determine if numbers are active
• Create confusion or curiosity leading to engagement with follow-up contacts
• Bypass Do Not Call protections through automated delivery

Report Details and Context

The report was received as a voicemail message, meaning the contributor did not answer the live call but was left with the recorded message. This delivery method is typical of robocall campaigns that do not require live interaction. The contributor's immediate identification of this as a scam suggests the characteristics of the call - language barrier, robotic voice, unsolicited nature - were clear warning signs.
