WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did a recorded message say 'Solar Energy Rebates' when I called 02 8360 2773 back?
The recorded message is part of the operation's callback system. When you call back 0283602773, it confirms your number is active and monitored, which may lead to additional calls. This is a common tactic used by telemarketing call centres to track which numbers have responded, even indirectly.
Is 02 8360 2773 a legitimate solar rebate company?
Based on community reports, 0283602773 appears to be an unsolicited telemarketing operation rather than an official government or established solar company. Legitimate solar rebate providers do not typically make cold calls. If you're interested in solar rebates, contact your state government directly or visit their official websites rather than responding to unsolicited calls from 02 8360 2773.
What should I do if I already called 02 8360 2773 back?
Block the number immediately in your phone settings. Do not provide any information if they call again. Your callback confirmed the number is active, so expect potential follow-up calls from 0283602773 or related numbers. If calls persist, register with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au.
Why do telemarketing calls from 02 8360 2773 use missed calls or recorded messages?
Missed calls and automated messages are designed to trigger curiosity, making you likely to call back. This confirms your number is active and monitored. Once 0283602773 has a confirmed callback, they may escalate contact attempts. It's a low-cost method to build response lists.
How do I prevent calls from 02 8360 2773 in the future?
Block 0283602773 in your phone's contact or spam settings immediately. Register your number on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au if you haven't already.
