Nuisance Call Reports for 02 9767 4542

Four contributors have reported unwanted contact from 02 9767 4542 (also written as 0297674542), a Telstra-allocated NSW local service number. The pattern centres on silent or abruptly terminated calls without voicemail messages, coupled with repeated callback attempts. One contributor's phone system flagged the incoming call as a potential scam, while others experienced the classic nuisance call signature: multiple rings but no message left behind.

The behaviour reported from 0297674542 suggests either automated calling systems or deliberate non-engagement tactics. Contributors who answered the call found the line went silent or the caller hung up immediately, making it impossible to identify the caller or their intent.

What Callers from 02 9767 4542 Are Doing

Reports about 02 9767 4542 reveal a straightforward but persistent pattern. One contributor answered a call from this number only to experience an immediate hang-up. Another described being targeted by multiple calls from 0297674542 over a period of days, with no voicemail message left on any occasion.

The repetitive nature of calls from 02 9767 4542 without message attempts is a red flag for callback scams, where callers rely on recipients returning the call to an overseas number or premium rate line. One contributor's device flagged 0297674542 as a scam before the call was even answered, suggesting the number may be associated with known malicious activity.

Call Patterns and Timing

The reports span from early November, with calls arriving at different times of day. One contributor received a call on 3 November around 9:02 AM, while another was targeted on 6 November with multiple unanswered calls. The most recent report came on 12 November after 6:15 AM, when a contributor answered but heard nothing before the line disconnected.

The pattern of repeated calls without message attempts is characteristic of either automated callback scam systems or robodiallers designed to trigger return calls. Three of the four reports involve either unanswered calls or calls where nothing was said, suggesting minimal human engagement from the caller's end.
