08 6255 5364 - 0862555364: Dental Impersonation & Suspicious Calls

• Legit
• Suspicious
• Scam

Mixed reports for 08 6255 5364 (0862555364): one confirmed legitimate dental clinic, one impersonation scam claiming to be Dynamic Smiles, and two suspicious unanswered calls with no messages.

Conflicting Reports for 08 6255 5364

The number 08 6255 5364 (also written as 0862555364) has generated four community reports with notably different outcomes. One contributor confirmed this is a legitimate call from DB Dental rescheduling an appointment. However, another contributor reported receiving a call from someone claiming to represent Dynamic Smiles dental practice in Ashfield, which raised red flags because the caller used an 08 number while legitimate Dynamic Smiles offices operate with 02 area codes.

Two additional reports flagged 0862555364 as suspicious or unknown callers who did not leave voicemails, though these contributors provided limited detail about the calls themselves.

Dental Impersonation Attempt Involving 08 6255 5364

One contributor received a call from 08 6255 5364 where the caller claimed to be booking or confirming an appointment at Dynamic Smiles dental practice in Ashfield. The contributor correctly identified this as potentially fraudulent because Dynamic Smiles' legitimate contact numbers use the 02 area code for NSW, not 08. This geographic mismatch between the caller's area code (Western Australia-based 08) and the claimed business location (Ashfield, NSW) is a common impersonation tactic.

The scam likely targets people who have visited or considered visiting Dynamic Smiles, using the dental practice's name to gain credibility while directing victims through fraudulent booking processes or collecting payment details.

Call Patterns and Contributor Experiences

Two contributors reported missed calls from 08 6255 5364 with no voicemail left. One described the number as flagged suspicious in their phone system, while another simply noted the call was unusual and left no message. These unanswered calls occurred in June 2024 and April 2025, separated by several months.

The timing and lack of voicemail are consistent with scam calling patterns, where callers test whether numbers are active before following up with scripted impersonation attempts. The confirmed legitimate report from DB Dental (dated November 2025) suggests the number may be legitimately used for appointment reminders in some contexts, creating potential confusion when the same number is also used for fraudulent calls.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 6255 5364

If 08 6255 5364 calls claiming to be a dental practice:

• Do not: Provide payment details, confirm personal information, or book appointments through the call
• Do: Ask for the caller's name and clinic address, then independently verify by calling the dental practice's official number from their website or directory
• Do: Hang up immediately if the caller cannot confirm details that match the legitimate business
• Do: Check area codes - if a caller claims to be from an NSW practice but calls from an 08 WA number, this is a red flag
• Do: Let suspicious calls go to voicemail; legitimate businesses will leave a message

How to Report 08 6255 5364

Legitimate vs Fraudulent Use of 08 6255 5364

This number presents an unusual situation where one contributor confirmed legitimate use by DB Dental for appointment rescheduling, but another reported impersonation. This suggests either the number has been spoofed (where scammers use the legitimate number as a caller ID) or the same service provider's infrastructure is being misused. Do not assume all calls from 08 6255 5364 are scams based on the impersonation report - verify independently by contacting your dental provider directly through their official contact details.
