WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I answer if 02 8528 5585 calls me?
No. If 02 8528 5585 calls and you don't recognize the number, let it go to voicemail. The contributor who reported this number (0285285585) chose not to answer due to suspicion of scam activity. Unknown callers rarely leave legitimate voicemails, and answering unknown numbers can confirm your line is active to scammers.
What if the caller from 02 8528 5585 leaves a message?
Do not return the call or click any links. If the message claims to be from your bank, the ATO, or a service provider, verify independently by calling the official number from your statement or the organisation's website. Scammers often impersonate legitimate organisations, so never use contact details provided in the call or message from 0285285585.
Why does 02 8528 5585 keep calling if I don't answer?
Repeated calls from an unknown number like 0285285585 often indicate automated calling systems used by scam or telemarketing campaigns. These systems cycle through lists of numbers. Continuing not to answer is the correct approach - engaging or returning the call confirms your number is active and may increase contact attempts.
Can I block 02 8528 5585 on my phone?
Yes. Most phones allow you to block numbers directly from the call log or settings. Blocking 0285285585 will prevent future calls from reaching you. If the number calls from slightly different formats (e.g., 02 8528 5586), you may need to block multiple variations.
Is 02 8528 5585 definitely a scam?
One contributor suspects 0285285585 is a scammer based on repeated unwanted calls, but the actual intent is unconfirmed from available reports. However, the pattern of repeated calls to someone who doesn't recognize the number is consistent with unsolicited calling. If you do not expect a call from this number, treat it as suspicious and do not engage.
Where can I report 02 8528 5585?
Report suspicious calls from 0285285585 to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) or ACMA (acma.gov.au).
