WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does it mean if 02 8395 5717 calls me with a robotic voice that hangs up?
This is a robocall, often used to verify whether your phone number is active and monitored. The contributor who reported 0283955717 received exactly this type of call - a robotic "goodbye" followed by disconnection. These calls typically don't pose immediate harm but may precede scam attempts targeting your verified number. Do not return the call.
Why would someone call from 02 8395 5717 and immediately hang up?
Robocalls from numbers like 0283955717 often serve as number validation checks. Scammers use automated systems to test whether a phone number is active and has a real person answering. The contributor's experience with 02 8395 5717 suggests the caller was testing their number rather than attempting an immediate fraud scheme.
Is 02 8395 5717 definitely a scam?
The single report for 0283955717 indicates robocall behaviour, which is suspicious but not conclusive proof of scam intent. However, robocalls are rarely legitimate business practice. The contributor's experience receiving an automated voice call from 02 8395 5717 that immediately disconnected is a red flag. Block the number if it calls again.
Should I call back the number 02 8395 5717?
No. Do not return calls to robocall numbers like 0283955717. Calling back confirms your number is active and monitored, which increases the likelihood you'll receive more unwanted calls. The contributor who answered 02 8395 5717 already experienced the call; there is no legitimate reason to call back.
Can I block 02 8395 5717 on my phone?
Yes. All modern phones allow you to block specific numbers. After your experience with 0283955717, you can block 02 8395 5717 through your phone's settings or call-blocking app. If you use a landline, contact your service provider about blocking options. Report the number to ACMA at acma.gov.au as well.
What should I do if I keep getting robocalls from 02 8395 5717?
If 0283955717 or similar robocall numbers keep calling: block each number immediately, register with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au, report to ACMA at acma.gov.au, and consider reporting to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au if calls escalate to scam attempts. Document dates and times of calls from 02 8395 5717 to support your complaint.
