Two contributors have flagged calls from 02 8348 3143 (also written as 0283483143) for suspicious behaviour. The reports describe different call patterns but both indicate something unusual about contact from this NSW-based number allocated to AAPT Limited.

One contributor answered a call from 02 8348 3143 where the caller claimed to be from BUPA Australia. The contributor felt uncomfortable with the interaction and ended the call immediately, noting the caller's manner felt shady.
