WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 0410 198 002 keep calling if I've asked them to stop?
The contributor's experience with 0410198002 suggests the caller is either ignoring explicit rejection requests or using an automated system that doesn't respect opt-out preferences. Legitimate businesses typically cease contact once asked, so repeated calls after you've said 'no' warrant formal complaint to ACMA or the Do Not Call Register.
Is 0410198002 a scam number?
Currently, this number is reported as a nuisance for repeated calls rather than a confirmed scam. However, persistent unwanted contact is a harassment tactic sometimes used by scammers. If 0410 198 002 makes deceptive claims or requests money when you do answer, report it to Scamwatch immediately.
What should I do if 0410 198 002 calls me today?
If it's your first contact with 0410198002, answer briefly and state clearly: 'Please stop calling me. Do not contact me again.' Then hang up. Note the date and time. If calls continue after this, block the number and file complaints with both the Do Not Call Register and ACMA.
Can I block 0410198002 on my phone?

If you register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au, callers have 30 days to cease contact. If 0410198002 continues calling after 30 days of registration, you can lodge a formal complaint with ACMA for enforcement action.
Who operates this Vodafone number 0410198002?
