Community reports for 04 2823 8202 (0428238202): AI robocalls about services with repeated callback attempts and silent calls. Blocked by contributors.
Robocall Reports for 04 2823 8202
Seven contributors have flagged 04 2823 8202 (also written as 0428238202) for repeated unwanted contact involving automated calls and suspicious service offers. The pattern shows an AI bot claiming to represent different service providers - gardening, roofing, and auto financing - with vague responses when questioned about legitimacy.
Multiple reports about 0428238202 indicate the caller identifies as 'Jess', though the automated nature and inconsistent service claims suggest a coordinated robocalling campaign. The number is registered to a Telstra mobile service, but the behaviour patterns suggest spoofing or compromised account activity.
What Callers from 04 2823 8202 Do
Contributors report receiving calls from 04 2823 8202 featuring an AI-generated voice claiming to represent various home and auto service providers. One contributor received a call about roofing services where the caller had a noticeable pause before speaking and offered to 'connect' them with a service provider - a classic callback scam setup.
Another contributor reported being called about gardening and landscaping services from someone claiming to be from 'Link Page'. When questioned about where they were calling from, the response was vague and delayed. A separate report describes a call from 'Jess at auto buddy' about a non-existent car loan, with the caller persisting through four additional calls after the initial rejection.
The most concerning pattern involves silent calls from 0428238202 with only background chatter audible, suggesting either a robocall dialler testing the line or intentional harassment. Contributors note the delayed responses and robotic pauses are characteristic of automated dialler systems masking legitimate business identity.
Call Patterns and Frequency
Contributors report receiving multiple calls from 04 2823 8202 in short timeframes. One contributor received missed calls several times within a single week from the same number. Another was called back-to-back four times after initially declining the roofing service pitch, indicating an aggressive persistence pattern despite rejection.
The reports span from September 2025 through April 2026, suggesting ongoing campaign activity rather than isolated incidents. The mix of answered calls, missed calls, and silent calls suggests the number is being used as part of a broader automated outreach system targeting multiple services simultaneously.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 2823 8202
If 04 2823 8202 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, press numbers to 'speak to an operator', or engage with callback requests
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately after the first unwanted call, and do not provide any personal or financial information
- If it's a silent call: Hang up immediately - do not remain on the line, as this confirms your number is active and may trigger more calls
- If they claim a service affiliation: Independently verify by calling the official customer service number from the provider's website, never use numbers provided by the caller
- If repeated after blocking: The number may be spoofed; report the actual service being impersonated to the relevant regulator

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 04 2823 8202 a legitimate business number?
Based on community reports, 0428238202 exhibits strong signs of robocall campaign activity rather than a legitimate business line. The same number claims to represent multiple unrelated service providers (gardening, roofing, auto financing), uses AI-generated voices, and employs repeated callback tactics. Legitimate businesses typically have consistent branding and do not persist after rejection. Block 04 2823 8202 and verify any service offers through official provider channels instead.
Why do I keep getting calls from 0428238202 even after I said no?
Contributors report that 04 2823 8202 uses automated dialler systems designed to persist through rejections. One contributor received four consecutive calls about roofing services despite declining the initial offer. This aggressive callback pattern is typical of robocalling operations that cycle through contact lists systematically. Block the number immediately after the first unwanted call - do not engage further, as answering confirms your number is active.
What should I do if 04 2823 8202 calls about a service I'm interested in?
Do not proceed through 0428238202's callback process. Instead, independently verify the service provider by searching for their official number online and calling directly. Reports show callers from 04 2823 8202 claiming affiliation with legitimate services (roofing, gardening) but offering vague details or delayed responses when questioned. This is a common tactic to build trust before transferring you to payment or credential collection scams. Always initiate contact yourself using verified contact details.
Why is 04 2823 8202 a Telstra number if it's spam?
The number 0428238202 is registered to Telstra's mobile network, but this does not guarantee legitimacy. Robocalling operations frequently use spoofed or compromised mobile accounts to evade blocks. Contributors report an AI bot claiming multiple identities, which suggests the account has either been compromised or is intentionally registered for campaign use. Report the number to Telstra directly - they can investigate account compromise or terminate service if the account is being used for illegal robocalling.
What does it mean when 04 2823 8202 calls but no one speaks?
A silent call from 0428238202 typically indicates a robocall dialler testing whether your number is active and monitored. One contributor received a call with only background chatter and no voice response. Do not stay on the line or respond - simply hang up immediately. This confirms your number is active and may trigger more calls from the same operation or related numbers. Robocall diallers use silent call testing to filter active numbers before routing them to live agents.
How do I block 04 2823 8202 permanently?
Block 0428238202 directly on your Telstra mobile by marking the number in your contacts and setting it to 'block caller'. For additional protection, register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au and file a complaint about repeated calls from 04 2823 8202. Report the robocall activity to ACMA at acma.gov.au. If the calls continue from other similar numbers, inform Telstra of the pattern - they may apply network-level filtering for your account.
