Spam and Nuisance Reports for 02 8395 2379
Five contributors have flagged 02 8395 2379 (also written as 0283952379) for spam and nuisance calling behaviour. The reports indicate a pattern of unsolicited sales calls mixed with silent or robocall activity. Three reports specifically describe telemarketing pitches, while two reports reference unresponsive or robotic calling patterns. One contributor noted a phishing link was mentioned during the call.
The number is allocated as a local service in New South Wales through NetSIP Pty Ltd, though this allocation does not guarantee legitimacy - spam operations often use local number spoofing to increase answer rates.
What Callers from 02 8395 2379 Say
Contributors report varying tactics depending on when 0283952379 calls. One telemarketer attempted to sell electricity schemes, while another caller claimed to represent a local business in Padstow and tried to pitch something unspecified. A contributor who answered noted the caller was described as a woman making what appeared to be a location-based sales pitch.
In contrast, other calls from 02 8395 2379 involved minimal or no communication.

Another contributor who called back after receiving a missed call from 0283952379 found no one answered, raising suspicion about the number's legitimacy.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports about 02 8395 2379 span from late December 2025 through early January 2026, with calls occurring across different times of day. One call came in the early morning hours (around 3:30 AM), while others arrived during business hours (5:30 AM, 8:00 AM) and late evening (1:15 AM). The mix of answered and unanswered calls suggests either automated dialling followed by manual handoff, or multiple callers using the same number.
One contributor specifically mentioned receiving calls from "Indian spam callers", suggesting possible offshore call centre sourcing. The pattern of silent calls combined with occasional live pitches is consistent with telemarketing operations that use automated dialling lists.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 0283952379 show as a local NSW number but feel like spam?
The allocation to a local service doesn't guarantee a legitimate business is using it. Spam callers routinely spoof local or major city numbers because they generate higher answer rates than unknown interstate numbers. The reports about 0283952379 describe unsolicited sales pitches and silent calls, which are typical spam patterns regardless of the apparent origin number.
What should I do if 02 8395 2379 keeps calling after I hung up?
If calls from 0283952379 persist, block the number in your phone's settings immediately. Then register your number on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au and lodge a complaint about 02 8395 2379. If the calls continue after 30 days, file a formal complaint with ACMA at acma.gov.au, as persistent contact after Do Not Call registration is a violation.
One report mentions a phishing link from 02 8395 2379 - is the number definitely a scam?
A phishing link mention in one report indicates attempted fraud, though it could be a malicious actor spoofing 0283952379 rather than the actual owner of the local service. Regardless, you should not click links from this number or any unsolicited caller. Report the link to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and to ACMA if you receive similar attempts.
Why do some calls from 0283952379 have no one on the line?
Silent calls are often generated by automated dialling systems used by telemarketing operations. The system dials many numbers at once, and if no agent is immediately available when you answer, you hear silence or a delay. One contributor reported the caller eventually hung up after saying "hello" repeatedly - this matches the behaviour of robocall systems that abandon calls when no agent picks up in time.
Is 02 8395 2379 definitely run by offshore callers?
One contributor mentioned "Indian spam callers" in relation to 0283952379, but this is based on a single report and accent observation rather than confirmed sourcing. However, the pattern of unsolicited sales pitches, robotic or unresponsive behaviour, and phishing links is consistent with offshore telemarketing operations. What matters most is that the calls are unsolicited and potentially malicious - the origin is secondary to protecting yourself by blocking and reporting the number.
What's the difference between reporting to ACMA versus the Do Not Call Register for 0283952379?
The Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au is where you register your own number to opt out of telemarketing and lodge complaints about persistent callers. ACMA at acma.gov.au is the regulatory authority that investigates formal complaints and can take action against operators breaching telecommunications rules. For 02 8395 2379, register and complain via both - the Do Not Call Register creates a record of your preference, and ACMA can investigate systematic violations.
