Nuisance Call Report for 0402 113 470
A single contributor has reported receiving a call from 0402 113 470 (also written as 0402113470) classified as a nuisance call. The caller displayed aggressive behaviour, insisting he had dialed the correct number despite the recipient's indication that he had reached the wrong contact. The contributor noted the caller became increasingly hostile, using profanity and refusing to accept the mistake.
This Optus mobile number appears to originate from a real mobile service, making it unclear whether the call was a genuine misdial that escalated into aggressive behaviour, or an intentional contact attempt. The pattern of insistence combined with swearing suggests the caller was either extremely frustrated or deliberately antagonistic.
What Happened During the Call to 0402 113 470
