WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I answer if 08 6289 1052 calls me?
No. Since 08 6289 1052 (0862891052) has been reported as hanging up without leaving messages, answering is unlikely to result in legitimate contact. Let unknown calls go to voicemail so you can assess the content before deciding whether to return the call.
Why would someone call from 08 6289 1052 and hang up?
Automated systems often call to verify phone numbers are active before launching a scam campaign. The behaviour reported with 0862891052 - ringing and disconnecting without leaving a message - is a common verification tactic. Once confirmed active, your number may be targeted later.
Is 0862891052 definitely a scam?
The two reports we have show suspicious hang-up behaviour, but don't confirm a specific scam. It could be automated testing, an incorrect number dialled repeatedly, or a business with a faulty auto-dialler. The lack of engagement from 08 6289 1052 makes it difficult to confirm intent, which is why we classify it as uncertain rather than confirmed scam.
What should I do if 08 6289 1052 keeps calling?
Block the number on your phone immediately. Most phone providers allow you to block specific numbers in your call settings. After blocking 0862891052, if calls continue, take note of the pattern and report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au, as repeated calls after hang-ups may indicate harassment.
Could 08 6289 1052 be a legitimate business?
Possibly, though legitimate businesses leave voicemails or engage with the person who answers. The fact that 0862891052 disconnects without any message or attempt to communicate is not standard business practice. If you're expecting a call from a specific organisation, contact them directly rather than returning calls to 08 6289 1052.
How can I report this number myself?
You can add your own report on Reverseau for 08 6289 1052 (0862891052) so other Australians benefit from your experience. You can also report to ACMA at acma.gov.au if you believe the calls are harassment, or to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au if you suspect fraud.
