One contributor received a recorded message impersonating Visa, claiming a $900 PayPal withdrawal and requesting action.

What Callers from 02 8359 2634 Say
One contributor reported receiving a voicemail from 02 8359 2634 containing a recorded message impersonating Visa. The message claimed to notify about a $900 withdrawal from PayPal and prompted the recipient to take immediate action. The contributor found the message suspicious, noting the unusual combination of Visa notification language with a PayPal-specific withdrawal amount.
Another contributor received multiple calls from numbers starting with 02 8359 but with different final digits. These calls would hang up immediately after the recipient answered, indicating automated dialling with no connected agent or message on the other end. This pattern of repeated calls from slight variations of 0283592634 suggests targeting based on number blocks rather than individual phone numbers.
Report Patterns and Timing

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does a robocall from 02 8359 2634 sound like?
One contributor described receiving voicemails from 02 8359 2634 with pre-recorded messages impersonating Visa, claiming fraudulent PayPal transactions. Another reported that calls from variations of 02 8359 2634 would hang up immediately after being answered, with no message or agent present - a typical sign of automated dialling systems testing number validity.
Why does 0283592634 call with different last four digits?
A contributor reported receiving daily calls from numbers starting with 02 8359 but with varying final digits. This pattern is typical of robocall campaigns that systematically dial across a number block to maximise reach. Using different variations helps the operation distribute reports across multiple numbers, making it harder to identify and block a single source.
Is the Visa message from 02 8359 2634 real?
No. The voicemail claiming to be from Visa about a $900 PayPal withdrawal that a contributor received from 02 8359 2634 is a scam. Real banks do not send notifications via unsolicited voicemails asking you to take immediate action. Contact your bank directly using the number on your card to verify any transactions, never using contact information from the call.
Should I call back 0283592634 or the number in the voicemail?
No. Do not call back 02 8359 2634 or any number mentioned in a voicemail. If you receive a message claiming to be from your bank or payment provider, hang up and contact them directly using the official number on your statement, website, or app. Calling back 0283592634 or responding to the voicemail may confirm your number is active, leading to more calls.
Can I block 02 8359 2634 if the robocalls use different numbers?
Yes, but only partially. A contributor noted that calls came from multiple numbers within the 02 8359 range. Block 02 8359 2634 and any variations you receive. Most phone carriers also allow you to block number ranges or report to spam-filtering services. Consider enabling robocall filters on your phone if available, and register with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au.
What should I do if I already clicked a link or provided information to 0283592634?
Contact your bank or PayPal immediately using the official number on your statement or app. Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. If you provided financial details, consider changing your passwords and enabling two-factor authentication. Report the incident to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and to your bank's fraud team to protect your account.
