One report describes a particularly hostile interaction where the caller already knew the recipient's full name and phone number, then became verbally abusive when questioned.
The reports about 0283952380 indicate a coordinated approach involving multiple call attempts from different numbers, likely using number spoofing to bypass blocks. Two reports classify the activity as spam with unsolicited service offers, while one escalates to outright scam behaviour with threats and coercion.
What Callers from 02 8395 2380 Say and How They Behave
The caller associated with 02 8395 2380 has demonstrated aggressive and abusive behaviour. One contributor reported that the caller became hostile with his wife after she refused the caller's demands, and persisted with repeated callback attempts despite being told to stop. The caller's tone escalated to rudeness when challenged.
In a separate interaction, someone claiming to represent H-Vac Air Conditioners called about servicing, but abruptly ended the call with "WOW" and hung up when the contributor confirmed they don't have air conditioning. This suggests the caller may be using scripts and changing approach when resistance is detected.
The most concerning aspect of calls from 02 8395 2380 is that the caller appears to possess personal details - one contributor noted the caller already knew their full name and phone number before the call began, indicating potential data harvesting or breaching.
Call Patterns and Repeated Contact
Contributors report that 02 8395 2380 calls from varying numbers, making it difficult to block effectively. One contributor stated they blocked the number multiple times, yet calls continued using different last four digits. This spoofing behaviour is typical of organised scam operations attempting to circumvent call blocking.
The repeated callback attempts, particularly after being refused, suggest a deliberate harassment strategy rather than accidental misdial. One contributor's wife received multiple aggressive follow-up calls, each becoming more hostile than the last.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 02 8395 2380 call from different numbers if I've blocked it?
Contributors report that 02 8395 2380 uses number spoofing - a technique where callers manipulate the caller ID to show different numbers, often varying only the last four digits. This allows them to bypass blocks you've set on 0283952380. Each spoofed variation appears as a new number, but it's the same caller network. Blocking individual variations helps, but genuine solutions require reporting to ACMA so they can investigate the underlying service.
The caller from 02 8395 2380 knew my name - how did they get it?
One contributor noted that the caller from 02 8395 2380 already possessed their full name and phone number before the call began. This suggests the number is associated with either a data breach, a purchased or stolen contact list, or connections to lead generation services. This is a significant red flag - legitimate service companies typically verify your identity after you pick up, not before. Never provide additional personal details to callers who already claim to know your information.
What should I do if a caller from 02 8395 2380 becomes aggressive or threatening?
Hang up immediately. One contributor reported their wife was subjected to a hostile, abusive interaction with someone calling from 02 8395 2380, followed by repeated aggressive callback attempts. You are not obligated to stay on the line. Do not engage further, block the number, and report the threatening behaviour to cyber.gov.au and your local police if specific threats were made. This behaviour is harassment and potentially illegal.
Is 02 8395 2380 a legitimate business number?
No. While 0283952380 is allocated as a local service number in NSW through NetSIP Pty Ltd, the community reports describe aggressive scam behaviour, harassment, and spoofing tactics - not legitimate business operations. A genuine company would not use threats, personal information coercion, or repeated aggressive callbacks. The air conditioning service claim appears to be a cover story used selectively, with the caller hanging up when challenged.
How many people have reported calls from 02 8395 2380?
Three contributors have reported calls from 02 8395 2380 (0283952380) so far. Two reports describe spam with unsolicited service offers, and one report escalates to serious scam behaviour involving threats, personal information requests, and aggressive harassment. Even this small number of reports reveals a coordinated pattern of hostile behaviour and repeated contact despite being refused.
What should I do if 02 8395 2380 claims to be from a service company I use?
Do not accept the claim at face value. Hang up without confirming or denying anything about your services. If you're concerned about an actual account issue with a service provider, look up their official contact number independently (not from the caller) and call them directly to verify. One contributor was contacted by someone claiming to represent H-Vac Air Conditioners from 0283952380 - this appears to be a spoofed claim. Real service companies have proper contact protocols and do not use aggressive, hostile tactics like those reported from 02 8395 2380.
