Why Repeated Calls Matter

Scammers use repeated calling tactics because most people don't answer unknown numbers on the first attempt. By calling multiple times, they increase their odds of reaching someone who might answer out of curiosity or concern. The fact that 02 8814 6000 has been reported for this pattern suggests the caller is running an organised campaign rather than making random contact.

Blocking 0288146000 after the first call prevents further contact and removes you from their active targeting list.
