Silent Call and Threat Reports for 02 8552 8665
Four contributors have flagged 02 8552 8665 (also written as 0285528665) for problematic calling behaviour. The reports indicate a pattern of silent voicemails, abusive messages, and repeated contact from numbers sharing the same prefix. This NSW-based local service number has attracted reports spanning silent calls, threatening language, and suspicious repeated dialling patterns.
Two reports specifically mention tactics associated with scam or harassing behaviour. One contributor received a voicemail containing abusive language after the caller spoke to them, while another reported only silence on the line. A third contributor noted receiving repeated calls from numbers with the same opening digits but different final numbers, suggesting either a spoofed number scheme or coordinated calling campaign.
What Callers from 02 8552 8665 Do
Contributors report two distinct patterns from this number. In one instance, a caller left a voicemail with abusive language, with the contributor noting the caller had an Indian accent. In another case, the call resulted in complete silence on the voicemail, with no message content at all.
Beyond the direct calls from 0285528665, one contributor flagged a wider concern: receiving repeated calls from multiple numbers beginning with 02 8552 but with varying final digits. This pattern suggests the caller may be using number spoofing or operating across a block of sequential numbers to evade blocking and increase connection odds.
Report Patterns and Timing
The four reports about 02 8552 8665 span different channels and timeframes. One silent voicemail was logged in November 2025, an abusive voicemail in November 2025, and two earlier reports from April 2024 describing scam concerns and the multi-number calling pattern. The reports came through voicemail, missed call, and answered call channels, indicating the caller is using various contact methods to reach contributors.
The repeated calls from similar-numbered lines reported by one contributor suggest this is not a one-off incident but part of a broader campaign or systematic dialling strategy.
