- Do not: Call the number back, as this may confirm your number is active to scammers or result in unexpected charges
- Do: Let calls go to voicemail, block the number if calls persist, and mark as spam/block in your phone settings
- Do: If you answer and hear silence, hang up immediately - do not stay on the line or press any buttons
- Do: Keep a record of call dates and times if the pattern continues, as this helps with formal complaints

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 9184 6453 definitely a scam?
Not definitively. The 10 reports on 02 9184 6453 show a consistent pattern of silent calls and hang-ups, which is concerning behaviour. Two reports mention the caller hanging up immediately, and several describe repeated calls with no message left. One contributor reported receiving a call claiming to be from the Salvation Army, though legitimacy is uncertain. The pattern suggests nuisance activity, but the specific intent is unclear from the reports on 0291846453.
What should I do if 0291846453 keeps calling me daily?
Block the number immediately in your phone settings. Multiple contributors reported receiving daily calls from 02 9184 6453 with no voicemail left or the caller hanging up on answer. Do not call back, as this confirms your number is active. If calls continue after blocking, document the dates and report to ACMA at acma.gov.au and your phone provider.
Why does 02 9184 6453 hang up when I answer?
Two contributors reported this exact behaviour with 0291846453 - the caller hanging up the moment they answer. This is characteristic of callback scams (where callers want you to call back) or automated systems testing whether a number is active. The pattern with 02 9184 6453 suggests this is intentional behaviour rather than accidental disconnection.
My phone flagged 0291846453 as spam - should I be concerned?
Yes, take it seriously. One contributor reported their phone's spam detection flagged 02 9184 6453 as "probably spam" after multiple calls. Another noted their Telstra service flagged this number as suspicious. When carrier systems and multiple community reports align, the risk level is higher. Block the number and avoid engaging with it.
I received one call from 02 9184 6453 claiming to be from the Salvation Army - is this legitimate?
One contributor received a call from 02 9184 6453 mentioning the Salvation Army doing good work, but the legitimacy is unclear. Given that 9 other reports describe silent calls and hang-ups from this same number, it's possible the Salvation Army name was being used fraudulently. Verify directly with the Salvation Army using their official contact details before engaging further with 0291846453.
Should I report 02 9184 6453 to ACMA?
Yes. With 10 community reports showing persistent unwanted calling and silent calls from 0291846453, reporting to ACMA at acma.gov.au helps build a regulatory case against nuisance calling from this number. You can also report to the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au if the calls appear telemarketing-related, and to your phone provider for technical blocking.
