Should I answer calls from 08 8575 1381?

Yes. Most modern phones allow you to block 08 8575 1381 (0885751381) directly in your call settings or through your provider. Once blocked, calls from this number won't reach you. If you continue receiving calls from different variations of the number, contact your Telstra account manager or your provider's support line for additional filtering options.
Is 08 8575 1381 a scam or just annoying?
Based on the single report available, 08 8575 1381 is classified as a nuisance caller rather than an active scam attempt. However, nuisance calling can sometimes be linked to data harvesting or testing of active numbers. If the calls from 0885751381 continue or escalate, report to the ACMA at acma.gov.au.
What should I do if 08 8575 1381 doesn't stop calling?
If 08 8575 1381 (0885751381) continues calling repeatedly despite being blocked, document the dates and times and lodge a formal complaint with the ACMA at acma.gov.au. You can also request call barring from your Telstra account to prevent calls from this number entirely.

Why does 08 8575 1381 go to voicemail when I call back?
