What These Calls Indicate

Silent calls followed by immediate disconnection are often used in callback scams or robocall campaigns to identify active phone numbers. When you answer, the silence and hang-up serve two purposes: confirming your number is monitored by a real person, or testing whether an automated system should add your number to a callback list.

The pattern reported for 02 9146 6266 matches common callback scam behaviour where initial silent calls are followed by pressure calls claiming you called them, or offering unsolicited services. Contributors should be cautious if they receive subsequent calls from this number or related numbers claiming the recipient initiated contact.
