Suspicious Call Activity from 02 8390 1789
A contributor has reported receiving an unsolicited call from 02 8390 1789 (also written as 0283901789) on a Saturday at 12:39 pm. The call triggered notifications despite the contributor having Do Not Disturb enabled, suggesting the caller's system deliberately bypassed normal phone settings.
What makes this call to 02 8390 1789 particularly unusual is how it circumvented the contributor's screening measures. The contributor uses an AI receptionist service to filter calls before reaching voicemail, and notes that all legitimate callers they've missed previously have routed through this service without exception. The call from 0283901789 did neither, going directly to trigger the notification instead.
Why This Call Pattern Raises Concerns
Several factors about the 02 8390 1789 call stand out:
- Timing on a Saturday at midday suggests either automated dialling or an operation unconcerned with business hour conventions
- The number has no public business listing, which is typical of telemarketing, debt collection, or scam operations
- Deliberately bypassing the contributor's AI receptionist screening indicates either malicious intent or an unsophisticated calling system
- The combination of Saturday timing, no business listing, and screening bypass suggests this is not a standard business call
