Five contributors have reported calls from 0422 898 117 (also written as 0422898117) characterised by a troubling pattern of repeated contact over extended periods.

Three contributors explicitly classified 0422 898 117 as nuisance calling, while two marked their reports as uncertain about the caller's intent.

What Contributors Experienced with 0422898117

One contributor received continuous calls from 0422 898 117 over a week-long period with no voicemail left at any time. Another described the same pattern, noting the caller from 0422898117 made repeated attempts without leaving a message on each occasion. A third contributor reported calling continuing for over a week with no voicemail left, adding to the pattern of silent or purposeless contact.

The lack of any message or communication across all five reports is notable. Legitimate callers typically leave voicemail explaining their purpose, particularly when contact is unsuccessful on the first attempt. The absence of any message from 0422 898 117 across week-long calling periods suggests either automated systems making repeated attempts or deliberate evasion of communication.

Call Patterns and Characteristics

All five reports about 0422898117 describe the same core behaviour: sustained contact attempts over a week or longer with zero voicemail messages. The consistency of this pattern across multiple independent reports reinforces that this is systematic calling rather than accidental contact or a single misdial.

Contributors encountered calls from 0422 898 117 as missed calls, indicating the number was calling when they were unavailable or chose not to answer. The refusal to leave voicemail is particularly relevant for mobile numbers, where voice messaging is a standard feature. This suggests either an automated dialling system with no legitimate message to deliver, or a caller deliberately avoiding creating an audible record of contact.
