Mixed Reports for 02 8357 9377

The number 02 8357 9377 (also written as 0283579377) has generated six community reports with notably varied patterns. One report flags a serious Telstra impersonation scam, while others describe persistent spam telemarketing, silent calls, and a legitimate outreach call from an anti-cancer organisation. This mixed activity suggests the number or its associated systems may be in use by multiple callers or have been compromised.

The service is allocated as a local NSW number through netsip-pty-ltd. The presence of both scam and legitimate activity on the same number warrants caution, particularly given the impersonation and phishing tactics reported by at least one contributor.

What Callers from 02 8357 9377 Have Reported

Contributors report starkly different experiences with 0283579377. One contributor received a call claiming to be from Telstra regarding an IP address issue with their phone, despite not being a Telstra customer. This same report flagged phishing tactics, suggesting the caller attempted to direct them to a malicious link or compromise their device.

Several contributors experienced silent calls from 02 8357 9377 or identical call patterns - incoming calls with no message left and immediate hang-ups when answered. One contributor noted receiving calls from this number and similar ones daily around meal times, with no voicemail ever left behind.

In contrast, another contributor reported a friendly, pressure-free call from an anti-cancer council discussing new initiatives. This legitimate interaction suggests the number infrastructure may host multiple callers or has been reassigned across different uses.

Call Patterns and Timing

Community reports indicate 02 8357 9377 calls most frequently during meal times - early morning and evening hours when people are typically at home. One contributor specifically noted receiving calls from this number and similar ones every single day around meal times, a pattern consistent with high-volume telemarketing campaigns.

Silent calls and missed calls dominate the dataset, with contributors reporting no voicemail left behind on repeated contact attempts. The lack of voicemail combined with daily frequency suggests robocall or automated dialling systems, though the single legitimate report complicates this picture.

One contributor described a long-standing frustration with calls from 02 and 03 numbers they don't recognise, indicating this may be part of a broader spam campaign using multiple sequential or spoofed numbers.
