What Our Users Reviewed
As soon as I answered, heard the noise of a busy call centre full of indians yelling in both English and hindi.
Was enough for me to just hang up and block.
Was asleep and was woken by my phone ringing. Being woken, I didn’t really think to look at the number, rather just answered it.
Was some indian guy from busy call centre blathering on about solar panels and batteries.
Told him I wasn’t interested. He said they could send someone to my home to have a look.
I said “did you not listen to me? I said I am not interested”
He continued to talk about people coming to my home (creepy!)
I hung up and blocked.
Phone marked it as dodgy, glad I didn't call back
Asked for my missus who's passed away, sounded offshore
Called back and found out it's a solar company
Voice message just saying hello a couple times, nothing else. Doesn't sound legit

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 8360 5330 a legitimate solar company?
One contributor confirmed 02 8360 5330 is associated with a solar company after calling back. However, the unsolicited, high-pressure nature of calls from 0283605330 and the persistent pitching after rejection suggest questionable sales practices. If you're genuinely interested in solar, it's safer to contact established local installers directly rather than responding to unexpected calls from 02 8360 5330.
Why do callers from 02 8360 5330 sound like they're from overseas?
Multiple contributors noted that calls from 02 8360 5330 originate from busy call centres with audible background noise and accents consistent with offshore operations. Contributors heard both English and Hindi spoken in the background. This suggests 0283605330 may be routed through or operated by an overseas call centre, which is common for high-volume telemarketing campaigns.
What should I do if 02 8360 5330 keeps calling after I've said no?
If callers from 02 8360 5330 persist after you've declined, hang up immediately and block the number. Do not continue engaging - one contributor found that continued conversation only intensified pressure from 0283605330. Blocking is the most effective response based on contributor experiences.
Why did a caller from 02 8360 5330 ask for a deceased person?
One contributor received a call from 02 8360 5330 asking for a person who had passed away. This suggests the number is using outdated or purchased contact lists, or the data may be harvested from multiple sources without verification. This is a red flag for low-quality or unethical sales operations behind 0283605330.
Is the voicemail from 02 8360 5330 that just says 'hello' normal?
No. One contributor received a voicemail from 02 8360 5330 containing only repeated 'hello' statements with no business context, which is not standard for legitimate companies. This is consistent with voice-drop or ghost call tactics sometimes used to verify active phone numbers for resale to other callers. The contributor correctly identified it as not legitimate.
Should I register 02 8360 5330 on the Do Not Call Register?
Yes. Register your number at donotcall.gov.au if you haven't already. If 02 8360 5330 or 0283605330 continues calling after you're registered, this creates a record of non-compliance you can reference when reporting to ACMA or your phone provider.
