Understanding the Calls from 02 9001 6200

The phone number 02 9001 6200 / 0290016200 has raised several red flags among Australian users, prompting numerous reports indicating it may be associated with suspicious calling practices. The users who have received calls from this number are predominantly led to believe they are being contacted by financial institutions, notably St George Bank, Bank SA, or Bank of Melbourne. However, many recipients have stated they do not hold accounts with any of these banks, suggesting that this number may not belong to a legitimate entity.

Analysis of User Reports

Feedback on this number indicates a recurring theme: the calls often present themselves as urgent communications from a bank regarding financial matters, such as over-limit credit cards or missed payments. For example, one user reported that a voicemail prompted them to contact their bank directly, despite not having an account with the mentioned institutions.

Classification

Based on the evidence presented in user reviews, there are strong indications that 02 9001 6200 / 0290016200 could be classified as a suspicious calling number, and potentially, a telemarketing or scamming operation disguised as a bank. The inconsistency of identifying information provided during calls (often lacking a clear introduction of the calling entity) raises additional concerns about the legitimacy of this number.

How to Handle Calls from 02 9001 6200

  • Do not engage: If you receive a call from this number, avoid providing any personal information.
  • Hang up: Immediately end the call if you suspect it’s unsolicited or suspicious.

This is St George Bank credit cards calling advising that your card is overlimit or non payment and requesting that you make a payment.

Missed a call from this number. Called back and got a voicemail saying that the call was from either St George, Bank SA or Bank of Melbourne, and to call my bank directly on their enquiry lines (and gave those numbers). Only problem is, I don't bank with any of those banks.
