What Callers from 02 8357 6798 Do
Contributors who answered calls from 02 8357 6798 describe inconsistent behaviour. One contributor reached a charity fundraiser for the Christian Blind Mission, described as "laid back" about the donation request. However, most interactions are troubling - several contributors report the caller places them on mute or goes silent immediately after connection.
One contributor noted that when they asked the caller to identify themselves, the line went dead. Another received multiple calls over consecutive days with the caller hanging up without leaving a message. A contributor who used Google Call Screen reported the number was flagged as suspicious by that service.
Call Patterns and Timing
The calling pattern from 02 8357 6798 is aggressive and repetitive. One contributor received five calls within two days without a single voicemail. Another reported two calls within a single day, both resulting in hang-ups. One recent report notes persistent ringing "for days" with no message left by the caller.
Call timing varies - reports span early morning (03:49), late evening (01:42), and midday (11:28, 12:12). The lack of message-leaving across all reports suggests either automated calling or intentional non-engagement by the caller.
