Repeated Calls from 02 8360 2172
One contributor has reported receiving repeated calls from 02 8360 2172 (also written as 0283602172) with a distinctive pattern: no voicemail message is ever left. The caller attempts contact multiple times but abandons the line without providing any identifying information or reason for the call.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would a caller not leave a voicemail from 02 8360 2172?
Callers who repeatedly dial 0283602172 but don't leave messages are often using automated systems to identify active phone numbers. This is common in scam operations and aggressive telemarketing campaigns. Legitimate businesses almost always leave contact details or a reason for calling.
Is 02 8360 2172 definitely a scam?
One contributor reported repeated calls from 02 8360 2172 with no voicemail, which is suspicious behaviour. However, without a message, it's unclear if the caller is a scammer, telemarketer, or other unwanted contact. The pattern of repeated calls with zero information is the concern.
What should I do if 0283602172 keeps calling me?
Block 0283602172 in your phone settings after the first few calls. If the calls continue, document the dates and times. If you previously registered with the Do Not Call Register, you can complain. Consider reporting to ACMA or Scamwatch if you suspect scam activity.
Could 02 8360 2172 be a legitimate business trying to reach me?
Legitimate businesses leave voicemail messages explaining the reason for their call. The fact that 02 8360 2172 repeatedly calls without ever leaving a message suggests this is either automated telemarketing or a scam operation, not a genuine customer service inquiry.
How do I report calls from 0283602172?
Report to ACMA at acma.gov.au or Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au. If you're on the Do Not Call Register and 02 8360 2172 continues calling, you can lodge a complaint with donotcall.gov.au. You can also report your experience here on Reverseau.
Should I call back 02 8360 2172 to see who it is?
No. Do not call back 0283602172. Returning the call could confirm your number is active to scammers or telemarketers, potentially resulting in more calls. Block the number instead and report it to the appropriate authorities.
