WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 9102 8766 a legitimate energy company number?
One report identified the caller as Compare Energy Marketer, but this is not a large, established energy provider. Legitimate energy companies rarely cold-call with unsolicited offers. If you receive a call from 02 9102 8766 about energy, verify independently by contacting your current provider directly using the phone number on your bill, not any number provided by the caller.
Why does 02 9102 8766 hang up when I ask questions?
A contributor reported that callers from 0291028766 disconnected when they tried to verify or question the caller's identity. This behaviour is typical of spam or scam operations that use high-pressure tactics and avoid scrutiny. Legitimate businesses welcome questions and provide clear information without hesitation.
Should I answer calls from 02 9102 8766?
Multiple contributors have reported receiving calls from 02 9102 8766 with no message left, suggesting robocalling or automated systems. If you don't recognise the number, it's safest to let it go to voicemail. Legitimate callers will leave a message explaining their purpose and how to contact them.
I saw different numbers with the same area code as 02 9102 8766 calling me. Is it the same scam?
One contributor reported receiving calls from multiple numbers in the same area code with slight digit variations, all displaying evasive behaviour. This pattern is characteristic of spoofed calling, where scammers use similar-looking numbers to appear legitimate while making it harder for authorities to trace the true source. Block all such numbers.
What should I do if 02 9102 8766 is rude or aggressive?
Hang up immediately. One contributor described the caller from 0291028766 as rude and lacking manners. You are not obligated to engage with aggressive callers. End the call, block the number, and if the calls persist, report to the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au.
How can I stop receiving calls from 02 9102 8766?
First, block the number in your phone's settings. If you've previously engaged with the caller, you can register your number on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au or lodge a specific complaint. Avoid answering, returning the call, or engaging further, as this confirms your number is active and may increase contact attempts.
