Should I call back 08 7118 8897 if they left no message?
Not necessarily. If 08 7118 8897 was important, the caller would typically leave a voicemail. One contributor who attempted to call back 0871188897 found the line disconnected, suggesting it may not be worth pursuing unless you recognise the number or expect a call from that contact.
Why did the call disconnect when I tried to call back 08 7118 8897?
There are several possibilities: the caller may have dialled incorrectly, the line may be temporarily disconnected, or they may have chosen not to continue the conversation. The contributor's experience with 0871188897 suggests this wasn't an intentional callback situation.
Is 08 7118 8897 a scam number?

Yes. Most mobile phones allow you to block numbers directly in the call history or contacts app. If 0871188897 continues calling without leaving messages, blocking it is a reasonable precaution. You can also register with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au.
