Silent Call and Impersonation Reports for 02 8645 3339
Nine contributors have reported activity from 02 8645 3339 (also written as 0286453339), with a clear pattern of silent calls and suspicious Commonwealth Bank impersonation. The most concerning report involves repeated silent calls from this number, followed by a claim to be Commonwealth Bank when the contributor called back. Four of the nine reports specifically mention silent calls with no voicemail left, suggesting systematic dialling rather than genuine customer service attempts.
The number is allocated to Optus Networks in NSW as a local service. While one contributor reported legitimate contact from a loans department that resolved an overdue account matter, the majority of reports indicate nuisance or scam activity. One contributor explicitly flagged the pattern as scam behaviour: multiple silent calls, then Commonwealth Bank impersonation when called back.
What Callers from 02 8645 3339 Do
Silent calls dominate the pattern. One contributor received calls for two consecutive days before blocking the number, with no voicemail or message left either time. Another answered to hear only silence before the line went dead seconds later. When this same contributor called back, the voice at the other end claimed to be Commonwealth Bank.
A separate report noted that calling 0286453339 back triggered an automated message saying "Welcome to Commonwealth Bank", adding to the suspicion of impersonation. Another contributor who answered heard nothing and the caller disconnected without speaking. The consistency of this silent-then-hang-up pattern across multiple reports suggests deliberate dialling tactics rather than genuine business outreach.
Report Patterns and Timing
Silent calls represent the dominant category, with four contributors specifically reporting calls where the caller remained silent and disconnected within seconds. Three reports are classified as nuisance calls, two as suspicious, one as scam, one as spam, and one as legitimate.
The legitimate report came from a contributor who contacted the number directly regarding overdue loans and received immediate assistance. However, this stands in sharp contrast to the incoming silent and impersonation reports. Timing data shows activity spread across February and March 2026, with one recent report from late February noting consecutive days of silent calls before the number was blocked.
One contributor described the incoming calls as "a bit much", reporting Commonwealth Bank-branded calls four times daily for three months. Another noted receiving a call with no message left, which "feels a bit dodgy".
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 8645 3339
If 02 8645 3339 calls you:
- Do not: Engage with silent callers, call back numbers that claim to be banks during these silent episodes, or provide any personal or financial information
- Do: Let the call go to voicemail, block the number immediately after one or more silent calls, and verify any Commonwealth Bank contact by calling the official Commonwealth Bank number on the back of your card or their website
- If it claims to be Commonwealth Bank: Hang up immediately. Genuine banks do not conduct silent call campaigns or ask for information during unsolicited inbound calls. Call Commonwealth Bank directly using the number on your official documents to verify any legitimate account issues
- Note the pattern: Silent calls followed by impersonation when called back is a documented scam technique. Do not engage with callbacks from numbers that initially called you silently

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 02 8645 3339 call and then hang up silently?
Four contributors reported silent calls from 02 8645 3339 where the caller disconnected within seconds of the call being answered. This pattern is often used by scammers or automated systems to test whether a number is active. In this case, one contributor noted that when they called back, the voice claimed to be Commonwealth Bank, suggesting the silent calls may be part of an impersonation strategy.
Is 0286453339 really Commonwealth Bank?
Unlikely. One contributor called back 0286453339 and heard an automated voice say "Welcome to Commonwealth Bank", but given the pattern of silent calls preceding this, it appears to be impersonation. Genuine Commonwealth Bank account enquiries do not begin with silent calls. If you have a Commonwealth Bank account issue, call Commonwealth Bank directly using the number on your card or their official website, not by calling back 02 8645 3339.
What should I do if I answered a call from 02 8645 3339?
If you answered and heard only silence, hang up and block the number. Do not provide any information. If the caller claimed to be from Commonwealth Bank, hang up immediately and call Commonwealth Bank directly using their official contact number to verify. Multiple contributors reported that 0286453339 uses silent calls followed by impersonation, so it is not a safe number to engage with.
Can I block 02 8645 3339 on my phone?
Yes. Most Australian phone providers allow you to block numbers directly through your handset settings or your account portal. Given that one contributor reported consecutive days of calls from this number before blocking it, setting up a block on 0286453339 is recommended if you receive repeated silent calls.
Is 02 8645 3339 a scam or spam?
The reports suggest a mix of scam and nuisance behaviour. Four contributors reported silent calls (nuisance), but one contributor explicitly reported it as a scam due to the pattern of silent calls followed by Commonwealth Bank impersonation when called back. This escalation from silent calls to impersonation is a known scam tactic, making 0286453339 high-risk.
Who else has reported 02 8645 3339?
Nine contributors have reported activity from 02 8645 3339 (0286453339) between February and March 2026. Three reported nuisance silent calls, two reported suspicious activity, one reported it as a scam with impersonation, one as spam (Commonwealth Bank four times daily for three months), one as legitimate (a loans department contact), and one as uncertain. The majority indicate silent call or impersonation patterns rather than genuine customer service.
