Persistent Nuisance Calls from 08 6285 9741
A contributor has reported receiving constant unwanted calls from 08 6285 9741 (also written as 0862859741), a local Western Australian number allocated to NetSIP Pty Ltd. The caller repeatedly uses a name that does not belong to the recipient, suggesting either deliberate harassment or a data quality issue on the caller's end.
What makes this report noteworthy is the persistence despite the contributor's attempts to stop the calls. Standard blocking and STOP message tactics, which work against many telemarketing operations, have proven ineffective with 0862859741.
Call Behaviour and Persistence
The contributor reports that 08 6285 9741 continues to call despite being blocked and despite sending text messages requesting to be removed from the calling list. This pattern suggests the caller either does not respect Do Not Call requests or may be using automated systems that cycle through contact methods.
The use of an incorrect name in calls from 0862859741 raises questions about data source quality. Whether intentional misdirection or poor database maintenance, this behaviour makes the calls feel intrusive and potentially fraudulent rather than legitimate business contact.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 6285 9741
If 08 6285 9741 calls you:
- Do not: Engage with the caller, provide personal information, or return missed calls
- Do: Let calls go to voicemail, block the number immediately if repeated, and do not respond to STOP requests with replies that confirm your number is active
- Do: File a complaint with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) if calls continue after blocking
If the caller from 0862859741 uses the wrong name, you can politely correct them once, then hang up. Repeated misuse of a false name warrants immediate blocking.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 08 6285 9741 keep calling me with the wrong name?
The caller from 0862859741 may be using an outdated or incorrect contact database, or intentionally testing if the number is active. Either way, repeatedly calling with a wrong name after being asked to stop constitutes nuisance behaviour. You should block the number and report it to ACMA.
I blocked 08 6285 9741 but the calls continue. What should I do?
If blocking from 0862859741 does not stop the calls, the caller may be using multiple numbers or ignoring block requests. File a formal complaint with ACMA at acma.gov.au and register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. Keep a record of call dates and times.
Does sending STOP to 0862859741 actually work?
According to the contributor's report, sending STOP messages to 08 6285 9741 did not prevent further calls. STOP requests are legally required to be honoured, but some callers ignore them. If stopping does not work, use blocking and formal complaints instead.
Is 08 6285 9741 a scam or just a nuisance?
Based on current reports, 0862859741 appears to be a nuisance caller rather than an active scam operation. However, repeated calls with false names can be a harassment tactic. The best approach is to block the number and report via ACMA if persistence continues.
Can I find out who is calling from 08 6285 9741?
08 6285 9741 is registered to NetSIP Pty Ltd, a VoIP service provider in Western Australia. This means the actual caller could be any individual or organisation using NetSIP's service. If you know what business or person is calling, report them directly; if not, ACMA can investigate.
What is NetSIP Pty Ltd and why are they calling me from 0862859741?
NetSIP Pty Ltd is a telephone service provider that allocates numbers to customers. NetSIP itself is unlikely to be calling you; instead, one of their customers is using the 08 6285 9741 number. If you need to find out who that customer is, ACMA may be able to assist with a formal investigation.
