Silent Calls and Nuisance Activity from 02 8357 6753

Seven contributors have reported concerning calling patterns from 02 8357 6753 (also written as 0283576753), a NSW-based local service number. The reports paint a picture of persistent, deliberately evasive contact behaviour - callers who either disconnect immediately when answered or simply hang on the line in silence.

A consistent pattern emerges across these reports for 02 8357 6753: the caller refuses to identify themselves or leave voicemails, yet continues ringing repeatedly. One contributor noted their phone displayed a suspicious calling pattern warning before answering 0283576753. Another described picking up to find complete silence before the line went dead, describing the behaviour as "could be fishy or a scam."

What Callers from 02 8357 6753 Do When You Answer

When contributors have answered calls from 02 8357 6753, the response is consistent silence or immediate disconnection. One recipient reported: "Called and hung up immediately without saying anything." Another picked up to find the caller remained on the line but refused to speak, leaving only dead air before disconnecting.

The refusal to leave voicemails appears deliberate across multiple reports about 0283576753. Contributors described repeated calls from 02 8357 6753 with no message left, suggesting the caller has no legitimate business need - genuine organisations record voicemails to explain their purpose. One contributor specifically noted the caller "refuses to leave messages" despite calling multiple times to the same number.

One report does identify a specific caller - CareFlight, a charitable organisation, called from 02 8357 6753 requesting donations. This contributor expressed concern about how the charity obtained their number "despite being on do not call list," raising questions about how this number sources contact details.

Report Patterns and Timing

The reports span across multiple months, with the earliest dating to April 2025 and the most recent in October 2025. This suggests 0283576753 has been engaged in this calling pattern for at least six months. The timing varies - one report came through at 21:41 (9:41 PM), another at 01:43 (1:43 AM), indicating calls can arrive outside typical business hours.

Five of the seven reports indicate the contributor either didn't answer or the call was missed, showing the caller's persistence despite recipients actively avoiding engagement. Two contributors who did answer both experienced either complete silence or immediate hang-ups - a pattern sometimes associated with robocalls or automated systems testing for active numbers.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 8357 6753

If 02 8357 6753 calls you:

• Do not: Share any personal information, press numbers in response to prompts, or return the call
• Do: Let it ring to voicemail, block the number immediately in your phone's settings, and note the call date and time
• For repeat calls: Document each call attempt with date and time - this strengthens any formal complaint
• If it's a charity or organisation: Never confirm your status as a contact ("wrong number", "not interested") as this confirms your line is active

Silent calls and hang-ups serve no legitimate purpose. Genuine organisations leave voicemails explaining who they are and why they're calling. The pattern from 0283576753 - repeated calls with no message - suggests the caller is either testing numbers for validity or deliberately harassing recipients.

What to Do If You're on the Do Not Call Register

If you registered your number on the Do Not Call Register and continue receiving unwanted calls from 02 8357 6753, this is a breach of the Telecommunications Consumer Protections (TCP) Code. One contributor specifically mentioned being on the register but still receiving calls from this number.

• Document each call with date, time, and any identifying information
• Report the breach to the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority)
• Contact the organisation if identified (in this case, check CareFlight's donor contact practices)
• Block 0283576753 on your device to prevent further contact attempts
