Five contributors have flagged 08 6385 3584 (also written as 0863853584) for suspicious calling behaviour. The reports span from August 2023 to December 2024 and describe a pattern of unwanted contact including immediate hang-ups, missed calls with no voicemail, and callers impersonating legitimate businesses.
This Western Australian local number, allocated to Symbio Networks, has generated mixed report categories suggesting inconsistent caller behaviour or multiple parties using the line. One contributor specifically noted receiving a call when expecting a medical appointment, only to have the caller hang up immediately upon answering.
What Callers from 08 6385 3584 Do
The behaviour documented in reports about 0863853584 ranges from silent hang-ups to potential impersonation attempts. One recent report describes callers "pretending to be businesses," though contributors did not specify which organisations were impersonated or what services were referenced.
Several contributors reported receiving calls from 08 6385 3584 that ended in silence or immediate disconnection. One contributor, who answered expecting a medical appointment callback, reported the caller disconnected without saying anything. Others missed calls from this number entirely, with no voicemail left to explain the purpose of contact.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports about 08 6385 3584 cluster around August 2023, with a more recent report in December 2024. The calls have come through both answered and missed call channels, suggesting either automated dialling or inconsistent caller persistence.
One contributor who called back 0863853584 after a missed call received a "not in service" message, a tactic sometimes associated with spoofed or invalid numbers. This detail, combined with the immediate hang-up on the medical appointment call, suggests possible callback scam or number spoofing activity.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 6385 3584
If 08 6385 3584 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call if you didn't initiate contact, share personal or medical information with unexpected callers, or assume it's legitimate even if the caller claims to be from your doctor's office
- Do: Let unknown calls go to voicemail, verify any medical appointment callbacks by calling your healthcare provider directly using their published number, block the number if calls repeat
- If the caller hangs up: Do not call back immediately - wait and independently verify the caller's identity through official channels before returning contact

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does it mean if 08 6385 3584 called but hung up immediately?
One contributor reported exactly this scenario with 0863853584 - they answered expecting a medical appointment callback, but the caller disconnected without speaking. This behaviour can indicate automated callback verification, caller uncertainty about whether they reached the right person, or deliberate hang-up tactics used in scams to trigger a callback. Do not call back unless you initiated the original contact with that organisation.
Is 0863853584 actually a medical provider's number?
It does not appear to be. 08 6385 3584 is allocated as a local service number in Western Australia through Symbio Networks. If you were expecting a call from your doctor or medical clinic, verify their actual number by checking your appointment confirmation or calling the clinic directly rather than returning a call to 0863853584.
Why did the 'not in service' message appear when I called back 08 6385 3584?
One contributor reported receiving a "not in service" message after calling back 0863853584 following a missed call. This can mean the number is no longer active, it's a spoofed number (fake caller ID masking a different number), or the line is configured to reject incoming calls. It's a red flag and suggests you should not attempt further contact.
What should I do if I answered a call from 08 6385 3584 claiming to be from a business?
A recent report notes that callers from 08 6385 3584 have pretended to be legitimate businesses. If you answered and the caller claimed affiliation with a specific organisation, contact that organisation directly using their official phone number (from their website or your statements) to verify whether they called you. Do not use any contact details the caller provided.
How many people have reported 0863853584?
Five contributors have reported 08 6385 3584 to Reverseau. Three reports describe the calls as uncertain or suspicious, one flagged it as spam from scammers pretending to be businesses, and one noted a hang-up after immediate connection. While this is a small number of reports, the pattern of silence and hang-ups is consistent enough to warrant caution.
Should I block 08 6385 3584?
Yes. If 0863853584 has called you unexpectedly and you were not the one who initiated contact, blocking is reasonable. Most phone handsets allow you to block numbers in your call history - select the number and choose "Block" or "Add to Blocklist". If the calls continue from different numbers, report the pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
