02 9072 1343 (0290721343): 16 reports of persistent solar panel sales calls. Contributors report aggressive tactics, repeated calls after requests to stop, and fake solar company impersonation.
Solar Panel Sales Calls from 02 9072 1343
Sixteen contributors have reported calls from 02 9072 1343 (also written as 0290721343) involving aggressive solar panel and energy sales pitches. The pattern shows persistent calling behaviour, with several contributors noting the caller continued phoning after being told to stop. Three reports specifically flag impersonation tactics, with callers falsely claiming to represent legitimate solar companies.
What makes calls from 0290721343 particularly concerning is the combination of aggressive persistence and potential data harvesting. One contributor reported the caller knew their address and asked whether they had recently installed solar panels, despite no prior legitimate interaction. Another noted receiving six calls in a single week from someone claiming to be from a solar company they'd never contacted.
What Callers from 02 9072 1343 Say and Do
Contributors describe callers from 02 9072 1343 pushing solar panels and energy products with high-pressure tactics. One contributor stated the caller "wouldn't take no for an answer," while another reported being contacted multiple times across different phone lines within minutes - mobile, then spouse's mobile, then landline - all in the space of two minutes.
The impersonation angle appears deliberate. One report described a caller "pretending to be from solar company" with no legitimate prior interaction, and another mentioned a caller falsely claiming the recipient had "agreed to something about solar panels." A particularly suspicious report noted the caller claimed to have obtained contact details from an online inquiry, yet the landline owner was deceased, suggesting either data broker sourcing or list cycling.
Several contributors report the caller refused to accept "not interested" as an answer. One described an "aggressive telemarketer" who ignored repeated requests to stop before being firmly told off and blocked.
Call Patterns and Persistence
The calling behaviour is notably persistent. Multiple contributors reported receiving repeated calls over days or weeks without leaving voicemails or text messages. One contributor noted the number "keeps calling even after I asked them to stop. won't listen," while another reported the same behaviour continuing even after blocking the number from 02 9072 1343.
The volume of contacts is unusual for legitimate sales. One contributor documented six calls in a single week from 0290721343. Another received calls "over several days without leaving messages." The rapid multi-line approach reported (mobile, spouse's mobile, landline within two minutes) suggests systematic contact attempts rather than opportunistic sales.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 9072 1343
If 02 9072 1343 calls you:
- Do not: Engage with questions about your home, solar installation status, or energy usage; provide personal details or agree to anything; return the call or call any number they provide
- Do: Hang up immediately; block the number 0290721343 on your phone; use your phone's Do Not Call settings; if they claim to represent a solar company, independently verify by calling the company directly using their official website number
- If they persist: Make a note of dates and times; formally request removal from their list; consider reporting to relevant authorities
Report Patterns and Data Concerns
The fact that callers from 02 9072 1343 appear to have access to personal information (address, knowledge of solar installation status, deceased landline owners' details) raises data sourcing concerns. This suggests either purchase of contact lists from data brokers, cross-referencing of online inquiries, or use of compiled databases. Contributors should be cautious about what information they share online, particularly with solar or energy-related websites.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 9072 1343 a legitimate solar company?
No. Multiple contributors report that callers from 02 9072 1343 (0290721343) falsely claim to represent solar companies. Several contributors confirmed they had no prior relationship with any solar provider, yet received calls with false claims about prior agreements or company affiliation. If you're considering solar panels, always independently verify company details using contact information from their official website, never numbers provided by unsolicited callers.
Why do callers from 0290721343 know my address?
One contributor reported the caller from 02 9072 1343 knew their address and had detailed information despite no legitimate prior contact. This suggests callers are using purchased contact lists from data brokers, cross-referencing online inquiries, or using compiled databases. This is a significant privacy concern. Be cautious about sharing personal details on online forms, particularly those related to energy or home improvements.
What should I do if 02 9072 1343 won't stop calling?
Contributors report that callers from 0290721343 continue phoning even after being told to stop or after being blocked. Beyond blocking on your personal phone, formally request removal by telling them clearly you do not consent to further contact. Document the dates and times of calls, then report to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and your phone provider. Contact Primus Telecommunications (the service provider for 02 9072 1343) to request network-level blocking.
How many people have reported 02 9072 1343?
Sixteen contributors have reported 0290721343 to Reverseau. Seven reports were classified as spam, three as scam, two as nuisance, three as uncertain, and one as suspicious.

What's the difference between the reports from 02 9072 1343 calling about solar?
Most reports from 0290721343 involve aggressive sales pitches for solar panels and energy products. However, three reports specifically flag impersonation - callers falsely claiming to represent legitimate solar companies. Two reports also note suspicious use of personal information (knowing addresses, claiming prior agreements). This suggests the operation combines standard telemarketing with scam tactics including false representation and potential data misuse.
Can I block 02 9072 1343 permanently?
You can block 0290721343 on your personal phone, but as one contributor discovered, some callers attempt to call from the same number even after being blocked. Blocking helps reduce the nuisance. For more comprehensive protection, register with the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) and report the number to ACMA (acma.gov.au). You may also request your phone provider block the number at network level. If calls continue after blocking and reporting, contact your provider's complaints team.
