Robocall and Silent Call Reports for 03 8652 6824

14 contributors have flagged calls from 03 8652 6824 (also written as 0386526824) for unwanted contact patterns. The most distinctive reports involve two separate tactics: robocalls asking about surveys and silent calls with dead air lasting several seconds. This Melbourne-based local number has generated repeated complaints over more than 18 months, with contributors noting the number frequently disconnects when called back.

The allocation data identifies 0386526824 as a local service in Victoria through Netsip Pty Ltd. However, the disconnect-on-callback pattern across multiple reports suggests the number may not be actively maintained or is being used for spoofed outbound calls.

Robocall Survey Calls from 03 8652 6824

Two contributors received voicemail messages from 03 8652 6824 promoting surveys. One report describes the message as stating "opinions important" and asking the recipient to participate in a survey, with the first question about age. When the contributor called back, they reached a dead end with no one on the line. A second similar report from the same timeframe reinforces this pattern, suggesting an automated campaign rather than genuine survey research.

Silent Calls and Dead Air from 0386526824

Two separate reports describe silent call experiences from 0386526824. One contributor picked up to hear only dead air for approximately 5 seconds before the caller hung up immediately. A second contributor reported answering the call only to encounter no speaker on the line, with no response or voice. Both contributors suspected scam activity based on these silent-call tactics.

Callback Verification Issues

A notable pattern across multiple reports involves the number being unavailable or disconnected when contributors attempted to verify it. Four contributors specifically noted that when they called back 03 8652 6824, they received "number not in service" messages or found the line disconnected. One contributor's phone smart service flagged the call as spam before the contributor even answered, suggesting the number already carries a poor reputation in carrier databases.
