Repeated Silent Calls from 02 9068 6667

Two contributors have reported persistent calls from 02 9068 6667 (also written as 0290686667) where the caller never leaves a message and hangs up before connecting. The pattern is consistent across both reports: multiple calls to the same number, each time going to voicemail without any attempt to communicate a reason for the call.

This NSW local service number is allocated to Primus Telecommunications. The behaviour reported - repeated calls with no voicemail - suggests either a callback scam, an automated system, or nuisance calling activity.

What Callers from 02 9068 6667 Are Doing

Both contributors describe the same pattern: 02 9068 6667 calls repeatedly, but when the call is answered or reaches voicemail, there is no message left and no indication of who is calling or why. One report notes the caller never picks up when contacted back, suggesting the number may not be monitored or may be spoofed.

This type of behaviour is common in callback scams, where fraudsters use repeated silent calls to trigger return calls from curious recipients. The cost of the return call (often to a premium rate) benefits the scammer. Alternatively, 0290686667 could be part of an automated robocalling campaign that disconnects when a human answers.

Call Patterns and Timing

Reports were submitted in late February and early March 2026, indicating the calls have been ongoing over several weeks. Both contributors used the same language to describe the experience - "repeated calls, no messages, never picks up, goes to voicemail" - suggesting this is a consistent behaviour pattern for 02 9068 6667 rather than an isolated incident.
