WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did the caller on 62887454 become abusive when I asked a simple question?
Threatening callers typically become abusive when questioned because they don't have a legitimate reason for calling. Scammers, harassers, and fraudsters often use aggression to intimidate people into compliance or silence. A genuine caller from a bank, government agency, or utility company will always explain the purpose of their call politely. If 62887454 calls you and responds with threats or abuse to a reasonable enquiry, hang up immediately and report it.
Is 62887454 a known scam number?
One contributor has flagged 62887454 for threatening behaviour, but we don't have enough reports to definitively categorise it as a known scam operation. However, the caller's response to a simple question about the call's purpose is highly suspicious. Any number that responds with verbal abuse rather than providing a legitimate reason for calling warrants caution and blocking.
Should I block 62887454?

Take threats seriously. Note the exact time and date of the call from 62887454, preserve any voicemail messages, and report the threat to local police or call 000 if you feel in immediate danger.
