The lack of voicemail on any call from 0390223298, combined with silent call responses, indicates callers have no legitimate message to leave and may be engaged in number verification or robocall testing.

Understanding the ICare Impersonation Tactic

ICare impersonation is a social engineering tactic where scammers use the name of legitimate workers compensation schemes or government services to build false credibility. Legitimate ICare representatives will never cold-call requesting personal information like tax file number or banking details. If you believe you were contacted by someone falsely claiming ICare affiliation, verify the caller's identity through official channels before providing any information.
