Repeated Calls from 08 6100 0741

Three contributors have reported calls from 08 6100 0741 (also written as 0861000741), with the pattern centred on persistent repeated contact. The most distinctive finding is that callers from this Optus-serviced Western Australian number are reaching out multiple times across consecutive days, suggesting systematic dialling rather than accidental contact.

One contributor received four separate calls from 0861000741 over four days. When they answered the first call, they encountered a caller with a Middle Eastern accent and poor English who became evasive when asked to identify themselves. Another contributor's phone automatically flagged 08 6100 0741 as suspicious after multiple attempts to reach them.

What Callers from 08 6100 0741 Say

When contacted, callers from 08 6100 0741 demonstrate evasive behaviour rather than a clear sales pitch or scam narrative. One contributor who picked up reported that after initial contact, the caller took a long pause when directly asked who they were, then dodged the question entirely. The contributor noted they don't know anyone from Western Australia, suggesting the call was unsolicited.

The caller's accent and poor English quality noted by one recipient may indicate an overseas operation or call centre, though reports don't specify the exact claim or purpose of the contact.

Call Patterns and Timing

The repeated-calls pattern is the defining characteristic of 0861000741. One contributor experienced four separate calls across four consecutive days from this number. Another received multiple calls that went to voicemail, with their phone automatically flagging the pattern as suspicious. A third contributor received a single unsolicited call they chose not to answer.

The calls appear to occur during varied times, with one report logged in early morning hours and another during standard business hours. The persistence across multiple days suggests an automated or semi-automated dialling system targeting multiple numbers sequentially.
