Identifying the Nature of 02 6100 4442

The phone number 02 6100 4442 has raised red flags among Australian users, with reports suggesting that it might be linked to scam activity. Notably, a user reported a peculiar experience on 15 February 2022, hinting at a method often employed by scammers.

User Experiences Indicate a Scam

According to a review, when the user answered the call, not only did the caller quickly confirm the user's name, but they also discontinued the call seemingly without reason. Such tactics are commonly used by fraudsters who aim to verify and collect personal details before engaging in further deceitful communications.

How Scammers Exploit Caller ID

The abrupt hang-up following the confirmation of personal information indicates a possible "number verification" scam. This type of scheme involves simply ensuring that the targeted individual is reachable and responsive, allowing scammers to refine their databases for future calls or operations.

Additional Unfortunate Coincidences

The simultaneous call from the international number +44 7384 298521 shortly after receiving the suspicious local call suggests coordinated scam tactics. It's vital to note these patterns, as scammers often use such strategies to confuse and instill urgency in their victims.

Scam

Received a call today - I answered with my name and they confirmed my name and then hung up abruptly. Definitely a scam. Shortly after I received a phone call from +44 7384 298521. Too coincidental to have two in a row within a minute. We need to be careful...

Scam

Person called to state 'you are from Optus yes', I said, 'No', the caller hung up straight away.

Although we all know this is a scam caller, I would note the scam caller in this instance is not proficient at his chosen trade.

1.5/10 rating as a scam caller professional.

Would not come again.

Recommend they seek a trade or some other profession.

Got a call from a man saying he was with Optus, asking if my Optus services were having trouble lately. I said yes, he apologised for that and offered me a discount on my mobile plan. When I told him I use a prepaid service he offered cash back on it. I asked if that meant he needed my bank details, which he said yes to. I told him I don't trust my bank account going to anyone and hung up.

I'm unsure whether he was really from Optus or not, since the number does not appear to be associated with Optus aside from these exact calls that nobody seems to trust.
