A contributor has reported receiving a call from 08 6289 7917 (also written as 0862897917) that they did not recognise. The call came through as a missed call, and the contributor found the number suspicious enough to flag it on Reverseau.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I call back a number I don't recognise like 08 6289 7917?
Not immediately. If the call from 08 6289 7917 was important, the caller will leave a voicemail. If you do decide to call back 0862897917, first verify the organisation's main switchboard number independently (e.g., via their official website) rather than using the number that called you, in case the missed call was spoofed.
What does it mean if 0862897917 is allocated to a local service in WA?
The allocation to NetSIP Pty Ltd as a local service means the number is registered with a telecommunications provider in Western Australia. This indicates the number is legitimate from a registration standpoint, but does not guarantee the person using 08 6289 7917 has benign intentions. Legitimate businesses and scammers alike can use allocated phone numbers.
Is one report about 08 6289 7917 enough to be concerned?
A single report is not definitive proof of a scam or unwanted caller. However, if you also find 0862897917 suspicious or receive calls from it repeatedly, it's wise to block the number and avoid returning the call unless you can independently verify the caller's identity.
How can I verify if 08 6289 7917 is a legitimate business?
Search online for the phone number 0862897917 or any business name associated with it. Check official websites of companies you do business with to see if they list 08 6289 7917 as a contact number. If in doubt, call the organisation's main switchboard directly using a number you find independently, rather than the number that called you.
What should I do if 0862897917 keeps calling me?
If calls from 08 6289 7917 become frequent and unwanted, block the number in your phone's settings. If the calls are unsolicited marketing, register with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. If you suspect scam activity, report 0862897917 to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au or ACMA at acma.gov.au.
Can I report my experience with 08 6289 7917 on Reverseau?
