Suspicious Call Reports for 08 6289 1012
Eight contributors have flagged calls from 08 6289 1012 (also written as 0862891012) with consistent patterns of evasive behaviour. The most distinctive finding across reports is that callers hang up immediately when challenged or asked to identify themselves, suggesting deliberate avoidance rather than legitimate contact.
Multiple contributors note that 0862891012 cannot be called back, which is unusual for a standard WA local service number. One contributor described the number as giving off "serious scam vibes", while others report their phone provider has automatically flagged and blocked calls from 08 6289 1012 as spam.
What Callers from 08 6289 1012 Do
The behaviour reported is distinctly evasive. When one contributor answered and asked the caller to introduce themselves, they immediately hung up. Another received a call where someone yelled in a foreign language before disconnecting. Several contributors report receiving calls that go unanswered and produce no voicemail, suggesting automated or random dialling patterns.
The non-response to callback attempts is significant. One contributor specifically noted they cannot ring back 0862891012, which points to either a spoofed number, temporary line, or deliberately unreturnable service. This is a common tactic used to prevent victims from verifying the caller's identity.
Report Patterns and Timing
Reports about 08 6289 1012 span from mid-January through late February, with several occurring in early morning hours (between 2am and 7am). One contributor reported receiving multiple calls from this number with their phone's auto-blocking feature activating repeatedly.
The distribution across different call channels (missed calls, answered calls, provider alerts) suggests this is not a single-contact situation but rather an ongoing pattern. Contributors are experiencing repeated contact attempts, with phone provider warnings appearing for at least two separate incidents.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 6289 1012

- Do: Let the call go to voicemail, block the number immediately in your phone's settings, enable your provider's spam filtering, and report the number if patterns continue

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why do callers from 08 6289 1012 hang up when I ask who they are?
Evasive hang-ups when questioned are a red flag for illegitimate contact. Multiple contributors reported this exact behaviour with 0862891012-the caller refuses to provide identification and disconnects immediately. This suggests they are deliberately avoiding identification, which is not how legitimate businesses operate. Legitimate callers will always identify their company or purpose before asking for information.
Can I call 08 6289 1012 back to find out who called me?
One contributor reported they cannot successfully call back 0862891012, and this inability to reach the number when attempting a callback is a significant warning sign. It suggests the number may be spoofed, uses a temporary line, or is configured to block return calls. Do not attempt repeated callbacks, as this can waste time and potentially incur costs. Instead, block the number in your phone settings.
Is 0862891012 a legitimate WA business number?
08 6289 1012 is allocated as a local service number in Western Australia through netsip-pty-ltd, but allocation does not guarantee legitimacy. Scammers and spammers frequently use legitimate-looking local numbers (spoofing technology makes this easy). Multiple provider spam alerts and the pattern of evasive behaviour reported for 0862891012 indicate this is not a trustworthy contact, regardless of the area code.
Should I answer if 08 6289 1012 calls again?
If you decide to answer, keep the conversation very brief. Do not provide any personal, financial, or identifying information. If the caller is evasive, refuses to identify themselves, or becomes aggressive, hang up immediately. Many contributors found that blocking 0862891012 after the first unwanted contact prevented further disruption. Your phone's auto-blocking feature can be configured to automatically reject repeated calls from this number.
What does it mean when calls from 0862891012 have no voicemail or message?
Silent or messageless calls from 08 6289 1012 suggest automated dialling systems testing which numbers are active or monitoring for responses. Scammers and spammers use this tactic to build lists of 'live' phone numbers for follow-up campaigns. One contributor reported their phone auto-blocked multiple calls from 0862891012, indicating a pattern of repeated contact with no legitimate purpose.
Who should I report 08 6289 1012 to?
Report 0862891012 to ACMA (acma.gov.au) for telecommunications violations, Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) if you suspect fraud, and your phone provider for blocking and filtering. Contributing your experience to Reverseau also helps alert other Australians about 08 6289 1012. Multiple reports about the same number strengthen the evidence for action by regulators.
