Received a few calls from (02) 8705 3279 on my mobile and they simply hung up.
Another number on my blocked caller list.

This number just called me too and asked some stupid questions I hung up.
This number has called both my mob. And home phone every a'noon for about 3 weeks. I've blocked the mob. But it still appears as a missed call.
I've had the same experience as some of you on here. I get the phone call at 5pm every evening for the past week, then when I pick up it hangs up, however when I call back it says 'the number is not in service'.
This numbers rings me every evening at 5 pm for the past week or so. When I pick up It hangs up. When I call back it says "the number you have dialed is not in service".
Keep getting missed calls from this number day and night. When I pick up the line gets cut. When I call back, its a message saying this number is no longer in service. Its scary but a bit reassuring that I'm not the only one.
Hi - they were offering a mortgage calculater product offering a bunnings or a coles voucher if you have themn to your house for a demo - bit dodgy.
I had a missed call today from this number. Called back and got the American voice saying it is not in service as others below have said.
Continue to get almost daily calls. If I answer they hang up. If I don't pick up they call and call, but no message. When I call back I get an Americal voice telling that the number is not in service....
Very concerning!
If anyone finds out who they are, please post an update.
There must be an authority this can be reported to????
Been getting calls from this number for a few months - no messages left. When called back the number says not in service in an American accent. Just put on my blocked caller list.
Just called me, hung up as soon as I picked up. I tried to call back and I got a message saying that the number is not connected. Weird.
Getting daily calls from (02) 8705 3279 and tried calling back to find out number is not in service.
This is really annoying and very frustrating.
Received call asking if I wanted a $20 Coles voucher and that I would qualify if I owned my own home and worked full time. When I asked how they got my number and what the company was called, the call was terminated. Highly suspicious.
I am also getting calls from this number daily. I now have a trace on it and will report back if I finally find out what it is. It's been going on for two weeks now! Driving me crazy.
This number calls my mobile every few weeks. I never answer as the always call during business hours. Go to call back and I get a this number is not in use message... It is Goin onot my blocked numbers list!!
Answered the call and they hung up immediately - a little suss particularly given all of these very recent comments below.
I missed the call from this number on my mobile while I was eating dinner tonight. Always suspicious if they don't leave a message. Thanks to the feedback here I have blocked it. Obviously a scam!

Another number on my blocked caller list.
Just rang me to and have been getting calls from similar number last couple of months. Anyone know what they want?
Incredibly annoying.
I got a call from the number and when I answered 'they' hang up. So I googled the phone number and came to this thread. I've been receiving phone calls in the past three months, from very similar numbers using the same hang up protocol. I think its a 'scam' to verify if your mobile number is in use (for whatever 'ill'reason).
I received 3 call from that number over the past two weeks. How can I block it? And how can I find if someone is hacking my mobile and my home network? All my computers and phones are Apple and all are on the same network.
Yep, like everyone else- get numerous calls from this number and when you answer, they hang up. This is another number added to my blocked caller list...!
