Conflicting Reports for 08 8222 8340

The number 08 8222 8340 (also written as 0882228340) has generated two reports with opposing assessments. One contributor confirmed the call as legitimate from Adelaide Dental Hospital Restorative Unit. However, another report from February 2024 flagged 0882228340 as a potential scam, creating uncertainty about the number's actual identity.

Verification Recommended for 08 8222 8340

Given the conflicting reports about 08 8222 8340, verification is essential:

• If you received a call from 0882228340 claiming to be Adelaide Dental Hospital, contact the hospital directly using contact details from their official website to confirm the call was genuine
• Do not rely solely on the calling number - spoofing allows scammers to impersonate legitimate organisations

• Do not: Assume the number is legitimate based on the caller ID - spoofing is common
• Do not: Provide personal details, health information, or Medicare details to unverified callers
• Do not: Agree to urgent payments or transfers
