Community reports for 02 8360 3990 (0283603990) describe missed calls with no voicemail - a common callback lure tactic used by scammers.
Callback Lure Reports for 02 8360 3990
Two contributors have reported receiving missed calls from 02 8360 3990 (also written as 0283603990) with no voicemail left behind. Both reports describe the same suspicious pattern: an incoming call that goes unanswered, followed by no message. This is a hallmark of callback lure scams, where callers deliberately hang up to prompt return calls.
The callback lure tactic relies on curiosity or concern - recipients wonder who called and feel compelled to ring back, unknowingly connecting to a scammer's line. Once you call back 0283603990, you may be charged premium rates, connected to a recorded message with delays, or transferred to someone attempting to extract personal information or payment details.
Caller Behaviour from 02 8360 3990
One contributor reported receiving calls from 02 8360 3990 on consecutive days, indicating a deliberate pattern rather than accidental dialling. The caller left no message on either occasion, which is the key indicator of a callback lure. When the contributor received a second call from the same number, they took action and blocked 0283603990 immediately.
The second report describes an unanswered call with no voicemail, and the contributor wisely chose not to return the call. This proactive approach prevented potential connection to whatever service or scam operator sits behind 02 8360 3990.
Report Patterns and Timing
Both reports were logged in early March 2026, with calls arriving at different times of day - one in the early morning hours and another during overnight. The repeat calling behaviour noted by one contributor suggests this number may be part of an automated or manual campaign targeting multiple recipients.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would someone call from 02 8360 3990 and hang up without leaving a message?
This is a classic callback lure tactic. Scammers call deliberately to generate a missed call notification, betting you'll be curious and call back. Once you ring 0283603990, you may be connected to premium-rate numbers, recorded services with long delays (costing you money), or a person trying to extract personal or financial information. The lack of voicemail is intentional - the goal is the callback itself, not any initial message.
Should I call back 02 8360 3990 if I miss the call?
No. If you don't recognise the number and weren't expecting a call, never return it. Contributors who received calls from 02 8360 3990 reported no voicemail and no context - a strong sign of a callback lure. Any legitimate caller would leave a message explaining who they are and why they called. If it's genuinely important, they'll try again or send an SMS.
Is 0283603990 calling multiple people or just me?
Community reports show that 02 8360 3990 has called at least two separate contributors with the same pattern - missed calls, no voicemail. This suggests it's part of a broader campaign rather than a personal matter. Scammers often use lists of phone numbers and systematically work through them with callback lure calls.
What happens if I accidentally call back 02 8360 3990?
Hang up immediately. Do not engage with any prompts, automated messages, or people who answer. Some callback lure operations charge premium rates while keeping you on the line with hold music or confusing menu systems. Others may try to scam you directly. If you do call back 0283603990 by mistake, simply disconnect and block the number right away.
Can I block 02 8360 3990 on my phone?
Yes. All modern smartphones allow you to block numbers. One contributor reported blocking 0283603990 after receiving repeated calls. On iPhone, go to the missed call, tap the info button, and select 'Block this Caller'. On Android, open your phone app, long-press the number from your recent calls, and tap 'Block'. After blocking 02 8360 3990, calls will go straight to voicemail and won't ring through.
How do I report this callback lure to authorities?
Report 02 8360 3990 to ACMA at acma.gov.au - provide details of when the calls came in and that no voicemail was left. You can also report to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au as a suspected callback lure scam. If you've previously asked the caller to stop (though unlikely with automated calls), register 0283603990 on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. Contributing your experience here on Reverseau also helps warn other Australians.
