Cold Calling and Impersonation Pattern for 02 9059 6782
Fifteen contributors have reported calls from 02 9059 6782 (also written as 0290596782) describing a pattern of persistent cold calling targeting business managers and executives. The number is allocated to Primus Telecommunications in NSW and has been active across multiple years, with calls intensifying during certain periods.
The most concerning report flagged impersonation tactics, with one contributor noting that the caller from 02 9059 6782 somehow knew their full name and company details, claiming to call about remote IT software while providing implausible sourcing information. Another contributor reported a caller who mentioned their company chairman by name before requesting the general manager and then abruptly hanging up, citing a meeting.
What Callers from 02 9059 6782 Request
Multiple contributors describe callers from 0290596782 using similar opening tactics, requesting to speak with specific roles - predominantly general managers, IT managers, and business owners. Several reports note that when challenged about their purpose, callers either provide vague answers ("telecommunications") or claim to represent telecommunications companies like GoToConnect.
One contributor reported the caller asked to "be put through to my CEO" without clearly identifying themselves or their company. Another noted a caller insisted they had the correct number when asked for the wrong person, creating deliberate confusion. When contributors refused or asked to be removed from call lists, most callers either became dismissive or hung up - several reports specifically mention the caller terminating the conversation abruptly or with rudeness ("hung up like a rude tosser").
One report indicated the caller mentioned knowing the recipient's information came "from reception," which the contributor assessed as false and impossible. This claim of pre-research appears designed to establish false credibility.
Call Frequency and Behaviour Patterns
The calling pattern from 02 9059 6782 shows persistence over years, with one contributor noting the number "calls every couple months asking for General Manager" and another reporting calls "multiple times in last month asking for different managers." Two separate contributors reported receiving multiple calls on the same day without voicemails or context.
Contributors consistently describe callers from 0290596782 as pushy and reluctant to accept rejection. One noted the caller "kept pushing after I said no and asked to be removed from list." Another reported a caller who "insisted on speaking to manager, kept them on hold till they hung up." A third mentioned the caller "kept them on hold" before disconnect.
Several reports indicate the callers never identify themselves clearly or provide contact information. One contributor stated the caller "didn't want to give a contact number or email address" and had poor call quality that prevented identification. This deliberate avoidance of callback opportunity suggests awareness of being unwanted.
