Silent Calls and Suspicious Activity from 07 2111 3420
Four contributors have reported activity from 07 2111 3420 (also written as 0721113420), a Queensland-based local service number. The reports paint a mixed picture: one contributor confirmed the number belongs to Compare the Market after calling back, while others describe silent calls and uncertainty about whether the caller is legitimate or potentially deceptive.
The most concerning report involves a silent call, where the contributor answered but the caller immediately hung up. This type of behaviour, particularly from 0721113420, raises questions about whether the call was intentional contact or part of a callback scam probe testing whether the number is active.
What Contributors Experienced from 07 2111 3420
One contributor who answered a call from 07 2111 3420 reported: "Seems like a caring organization but not completely sure they're legit, playing it safe." This hesitation suggests the caller made claims about being from a legitimate organisation, but something in the pitch or approach didn't feel right to the contributor.
A second report about 0721113420 describes a silent call: the contributor picked up but the caller hung up immediately with no explanation or voicemail left. Silent calls from 07 2111 3420 can indicate several scenarios, including a callback testing system or a misdirected call.
The most definitive finding came when a contributor called back the number and confirmed it belongs to Compare the Market, the Australian insurance and utilities comparison service. This suggests at least some calls from 07 2111 3420 may originate from legitimate outbound calling activity.
Report Patterns and Uncertainty
Two of the four reports about 07 2111 3420 express explicit doubt about legitimacy. One contributor speculated the caller could be "a dodgy spa or scammer," indicating they heard claims or a pitch that felt suspicious. The other noted hesitation despite the caller sounding like "a caring organization."
The contrast between the confirmed Compare the Market attribution and the suspicious reports suggests either: multiple organisations use this number, the number has been compromised or spoofed, or Compare the Market's outbound calling practices have triggered concern among some recipients.
