Solar Panel Sales Spam from 02 9128 2601
One contributor has reported receiving an unsolicited sales call from 02 9128 2601 (also written as 0291282601) pitching solar panel systems. The caller claimed the recipient had previously requested information, despite no such inquiry being made. This type of false consent claim is a common tactic used by telemarketing operations to bypass Do Not Call protections and justify cold calling.
The call came through a local NSW service line provided by NetSIP Pty Ltd, giving the number a deceptive appearance of legitimacy. Contributors receiving calls from 0291282601 report the caller was persistent with the sales pitch despite objections.
What the Caller from 02 9128 2601 Said
According to the community report, the caller from 02 9128 2601 opened with a false premise, claiming the recipient had previously expressed interest in solar panel information. This fabricated consent narrative allows telemarketers to initiate conversations with people who never contacted them. The caller then proceeded with a standard sales pitch for solar installation services.
This approach of claiming prior consent when none exists is deceptive and potentially breaches Australian Consumer Law if the caller cannot produce genuine evidence of opt-in.
Report Details and Timing
The call from 0291282601 was answered by the contributor, who immediately recognised the unsolicited nature of the contact. The report was submitted on 20 October 2025. While only one report is currently recorded for 02 9128 2601, the specific tactic of falsely claiming prior consent suggests this may be part of a broader sales campaign.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did the caller from 02 9128 2601 claim I asked for solar information when I didn't?
Telemarketers using false consent tactics rely on recipients being less likely to hang up if they believe they initiated contact. This breaches Australian Consumer Law if the caller cannot produce genuine evidence of your opt-in. If 0291282601 calls again with this claim, ask them to email written proof of your request before continuing the conversation.
Is 02 9128 2601 a real solar company or a scam?
The community report indicates 02 9128 2601 is operating as a sales line rather than an obvious scam, but the false consent claim is deceptive. The number is registered to NetSIP Pty Ltd, a telecommunications provider, which means the actual sales operation is using a VoIP service to mask their identity. This is typical of telemarketing operations trying to appear local and legitimate.
What should I do if 0291282601 keeps calling me after I ask them to stop?
Document each call with the date and time, then lodge a complaint with the ACMA at acma.gov.au citing repeated contact after you've asked to be removed from their calling list. If the calls continue after 30 days and you're registered on the Do Not Call Register, you may have grounds for action under Australian telemarketing laws.
How can I block 02 9128 2601 on my phone?
On most Australian mobile phones, you can block a number by finding 0291282601 in your call history or contacts, selecting 'Block' or 'Block Number', and confirming. For landline customers, contact your provider to add 02 9128 2601 to a barring list, or use a call filtering service available through your service provider.
Can I report 02 9128 2601 to the police?
Unwanted telemarketing calls are primarily handled by the ACMA and Do Not Call Register rather than police. However, if the caller from 0291282601 uses threats, harassment, or persistent contact that causes you distress, you can report to local police. For most unsolicited sales calls, report to donotcall.gov.au and acma.gov.au first.
Why is 02 9128 2601 using a NSW local number if they're a solar company?
Many telemarketing operations use local VoIP numbers (in this case through NetSIP Pty Ltd) to appear trustworthy and increase call answer rates. Recipients are more likely to pick up a number that looks local rather than a national 1300 line. This doesn't mean the company is actually based in NSW.
