WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why am I getting calls from 0423 766 802 if I don't know who it is?
There are several possibilities. The caller could be attempting to verify your contact details, conducting a survey, or it could be an error where they've dialled the wrong number. However, if 0423766802 continues contacting you without identifying themselves after you've asked, it's reasonable to block the number and report it.
Is 0423 766 802 a scam number?
Based on current community reports, there is only one report about 0423766802, and it describes unidentified contact rather than a confirmed scam. However, the lack of identification is a red flag. If the caller won't identify themselves when asked, it's safer to assume the contact is unwanted and block the number.
Should I call back 0423 766 802 to find out who it is?
Not recommended. If someone is trying to reach you legitimately, they should leave a voicemail explaining who they are and why they're calling. Calling back 0423766802 could confirm to the caller that your number is active, which may lead to more contact attempts.
Can I block 0423 766 802 on my Optus phone?
Yes. Since 0423766802 is an Optus mobile number, you can block it using your phone's built-in blocking feature. On iPhone, open the contact or recent call from 0423 766 802, tap the info icon, and select 'Block this Caller'. On Android, open the call or message, tap the three-dot menu, and select 'Block number'.
What does it mean if 0423 766 802 sends texts but doesn't call?
Text-only contact from an unidentified number like 0423766802 could indicate the caller is testing to see if your number is active before attempting voice calls. This is a common tactic used by spam operators. Don't reply or click any links-forward the SMS to 0429 999 888 and block the number.
How do I report 0423766802 if it's not clearly a scam?
You don't need to wait for confirmation of a scam to report 0423 766 802. If the calls or texts are unwanted and the caller won't identify themselves, report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au as an unsolicited contact.
