Silent Calls and Impersonation Reports for 07 3811 8944

Nine contributors have reported suspicious activity from 07 3811 8944 (also written as 0738118944), a Queensland local service number. The pattern reveals multiple tactics including silent calls that disconnect immediately when answered, impersonation of legitimate charities, and callback request scams. Several contributors noted their phones flagged the number as suspicious before they even answered.

The most concerning reports involve 0738118944 calling repeatedly despite being told to stop, with the caller switching between different phone numbers. One contributor reported calls from 07 3811 8944 yesterday with no voicemail, followed by a silent disconnect when they answered the next call. When they called back (as the caller apparently requested), they reached a script about "Apple Marketing Group" - a known scam tactic.

What Callers from 07 3811 8944 Say

Contributors report two distinct types of calls from this number:

• Silent calls: Callers hang up or disconnect immediately when the recipient answers, sometimes after calling multiple times without leaving voicemail
• Charity impersonation: One contributor answered a call claiming to be from the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal asking for donations, but reported the caller "sounded off" and they declined due to scam concerns
• Callback requests: One contributor received follow-up calls from 07 3811 8944 with a scripted message about "Apple Marketing Group" after missing the initial call, suggesting a callback scam mechanism

Contributors who answered calls from 07 3811 8944 report the calls either disconnect immediately (silent call tactic) or deliver scripted messages. The pattern of repeated calls over consecutive days, combined with voicemail absence and immediate disconnects, suggests automated or semi-automated calling systems rather than genuine customer service contact.

Call Patterns and Timing

Reports for 07 3811 8944 cluster in early December 2025, with multiple calls occurring within single days and across consecutive days. One contributor received two calls in one day that were flagged as fraud activity by their phone's built-in security. Another reported two missed calls within a couple of days, with their phone warning them the number was shady before they could answer.

The timing and clustering pattern is significant: a contributor on 4 December received a call from 07 3811 8944, didn't answer, and when they answered the next call from the same number, it disconnected immediately upon greeting. This pattern - initial missed call, followed by another call that disconnects - is consistent with callback scam tactics that try to trick recipients into returning calls to premium or monitored numbers.

Multiple contributors across different dates noted their phones automatically flagged 0738118944 with suspicious calling pattern warnings, suggesting the carrier or phone system has detected unusual behaviour from this number.
