The Optus mobile number 0422 072 702 left no voicemail message, which the contributor considered a red flag. The unfamiliar format and lack of contact details prompted the contributor to report 0422072702 as potentially suspicious rather than answer the call.

What Made This Call Suspicious

The contributor's concern centred on the displayed caller ID format. The number 0116422072702 does not correspond to standard Australian numbering - legitimate calls typically display a recognisable format.
