02 8395 7137 - 0283957137: Repeated Unwanted Calls

• Suspicious

Community report for 02 8395 7137 (0283957137): Persistent telemarketer ignoring Do Not Call requests, switching product pitches from solar panels to health products.

Repeated Unwanted Calls from 02 8395 7137

A contributor has reported receiving unwanted calls from 02 8395 7137 (also written as 0283957137) from a telemarketer who persists despite explicit Do Not Call requests. The caller initially contacted about solar panels, and when told not to call again, returned with a different pitch for health products.

What makes this report distinctive is the caller's dismissive response when challenged. When the contributor reiterated they had not called and should not be contacted again, the caller from 02 8395 7137 responded defensively that he was "not hurting anyone" and claimed to be "honest." This reaction, combined with the repeated contact and product-switching strategy, suggests a telemarketer operating outside standard compliance practices.

What Callers from 02 8395 7137 Say

According to the report, callers from 02 8395 7137 initially approached the contributor with solar panel offers. When rebuffed, the same caller returned with health product pitches. The caller's approach suggests they either operate from a contact list that rotates multiple product lines, or they are cycling through different sales angles on the same prospect.

The contributor noted the caller's response to being asked to stop was defensive rather than compliant. Rather than respecting the Do Not Call request, the caller from 0283957137 attempted to justify continued contact by claiming no harm was being done. This type of pushback when told not to call again is a hallmark of telemarketing operations with weak compliance controls.

Repeated Contact Pattern

This single report documents multiple calls from 02 8395 7137 over an unspecified period, with the contributor having told the caller to stop calling "repeatedly." The fact that the same individual returned with a different product pitch after being told not to call suggests either poor record-keeping on their contact list, or deliberate circumvention of previous Do Not Call requests.

The contributor's decision to block both phone numbers indicates the level of frustration caused by the repeated unwanted contact from 02 8395 7137. The blocking action suggests the caller may have used a second number as well.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 8395 7137

If 02 8395 7137 calls you:

• Do not: Engage in extended conversation, provide personal information, or agree to callbacks or follow-up calls
• Do: Clearly state "Do not call again" or "Remove my number from your list," then hang up immediately
• Do: Block the number on your phone after the first unwanted call
• Do: Keep a record of the date, time, and what was said if the caller ignores your Do Not Call request

Do not be swayed by a caller's claims of honesty or assertions that they're "not hurting anyone." Repeated calls after a Do Not Call request are a breach of Australian telemarketing regulations, regardless of the caller's tone or justifications.
