PRP Imaging Reports for 02 8978 6222

The number 02 8978 6222 (also written as 0289786222) has generated 13 community reports with mixed findings. Seven contributors confirm this is a legitimate medical imaging service that calls after doctor referrals, primarily operating across NSW. However, several reports flag concerning practices including unwanted cold-calling, robocalls requesting personal information, and impersonation tactics. Notably, multiple contributors indicate PRP Imaging has since abandoned 0289786222 in favour of a new number.

The pattern suggests 0289786222 was previously the active line for PRP Medical Imaging appointment scheduling, but the number may now be subject to misuse or outdated caller ID spoofing. Contributors who engaged with calls from 02 8978 6222 report a split experience: those with active referrals describe legitimate appointment booking, while others received unsolicited contact after declining services or without prior authorisation from their GPs.

What Callers from 02 8978 6222 Claim

Reports indicate callers claiming affiliation with PRP Imaging or a medical imaging service connected to the contributor's doctor. One report describes a recorded message from 0289786222 requesting personal details, placing the caller on hold for an extended period before disconnecting. Another contributor reported a caller claiming to have received a referral and attempting to book an appointment, despite the contributor having already declined a scan that morning and arranged imaging elsewhere.

A more serious report flagged a caller from 02 8978 6222 impersonating a medical imaging provider and specifically attempting to extract personal information. The caller seemed aware of the contributor's doctor connection, creating false legitimacy. One contributor noted that GPs continue handing out the number, leading to persistent unsolicited calls about appointment scheduling for services the contributor did not request.

Report Patterns and Timing

Call frequency varies significantly across reports. One contributor with an active cancer diagnosis reported receiving multiple calls from 02 8978 6222 related to legitimate appointment scheduling, while others received single or repeat unwanted calls. The robocall report from early February 2026 involved a recorded message asking to stay on hold, a tactic commonly associated with verification or information harvesting attempts. Most legitimate reports cluster around 2025, with spam and suspicious reports appearing more recently, consistent with the number potentially falling out of active use by PRP Imaging.

Several contributors attempted to contact the number or received missed calls without voicemail messages left on 0289786222, suggesting possible automated systems. The timing of calls generally aligns with business hours, typical for medical appointment scheduling, though the lack of personalisation in some robocalls and the personal info requests raise red flags about caller legitimacy.
