Phone number โ๏ธ 0280075244 ๐ is reported as a scam, with multiple callers falsely claiming affiliation to major telecom providers like Vodafone, Optus, and Telstra. These calls often promise significant discounts on bills or plans but ask for sensitive personal information such as PINs, dates of birth, or driverโs licence numbers. The callers frequently use strong foreign accents and display aggressive or suspicious behaviour if challenged. Victims confirm these callers are not genuine representatives and advise against sharing any personal details. Attempts to verify offers with the supposed companies invariably confirm these are fraudulent calls, with the scammers using tactics such as sending verification texts to trick recipients. Users are urged to remain vigilant, not engage, and block such numbers immediately.
Reports on phone number 0280075244
4 yearsGot a call earlier claiming I could get a 40% off deal from Vodafone if I shared my 4 digit pin. I tried ringing Vodafone myself afterwards, but the number didn’t link up to them at all. Seems like a total scam, and I’ve seen similar things happening in other countries too.Vodafone4 yearsGot a call saying I'd get half price on my phone bill if I gave them all my personal info. Honestly, don't be tempted, it's dodgy.4 yearsGot a call from a woman with a really strong accent claiming she was from Telstra, saying she needed to update my account and asking for my name and birthday. I told her she should already have that info. Then when I gave her my name, she clearly didn’t know how to spell it. I ended the call, but she rang back twice more using a different name. Never had Telstra call me like that before, definitely felt off.Telstra4 yearsHad a woman ring me up, sounded like she had a strong Indian accent, pushing some Vodafone plans. She hung up right after I said nothing but kept on ringing back.Vodafone4 yearsSomeone phoned claiming to be from Optus and said I could get half off my bill for the next half year. When they asked for my driver's licence, I got suspicious and called Optus myself to check. Turns out it was a scam. They really knew my account info, so it was tricky to tell at first.Optus4 yearsOn 7 June 2022, I got a call I didn’t ask for. I didn’t pick up, but when I rang them back, no one was there.4 yearsGot a call about some sort of COVID survey, but honestly, I couldn’t catch what they were saying. They tried calling back a couple of times but just hung up both times when I asked them to repeat.4 years02 8007 5244 kept calling me trying to sell some half-price Optus mobile plan. Every time I told them I wasn't interested and that they had the wrong person, they just talked over me and wouldn't listen. Honestly felt like a proper scam or just plain harassment.Optus4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Optus giving me half price on my plan for six months. They wanted loads of personal stuff, so I just gave them my email and dob then quickly hung up. I changed all my details on my Optus account right after coz it felt dodgy since they didn’t seem to have any of my real info. Definitely sketchy call!Optus4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Optus, saying I could get half price for six months. They sent a pin and told me to enter it, then just hung up on me. Pretty clear it was a scam.Optus4 yearsToday around 2:12pm I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent pretending to be from Optus, telling me I could get 50% off my bill. She mentioned she’d send a text with a code to prove she was legit. Sure enough, I got a message with a code shortly after. I ended the call though - felt like a total scam to me. I’ve blocked the number now, but I know these scammers often disguise themselves using Aussie mobile or landline numbers. Honestly, it’s so frustrating getting scams like this all the time. Why can’t people just find honest work?Optus4 yearsGot a call a moment ago from someone claiming to be Telstra.Telstra4 yearsIf they ain't answering, it’s probably not legit. Check out all the previous reviews, it’s clearly a scam going on.4 yearsSounds like a total scam to me. They pretend to be Vodafone and say you can get half off, but then they try to get your security code. Just don’t hand it over to anyone.Vodafone4 yearsInitially, I got a call from a hidden number, then shortly after, from this one. The person said they were from Vodafone and that I'd scored 50% off my current contract, asking me for my pin. Thing is, I’m with a completely different phone company, not Vodafone at all.Vodafone4 yearsSo this bloke called me up and his accent was proper thick, like I couldn't understand a word. I told him I was hard of hearing, right? Then he gets all rude, goes "**** you, you heard that, didn't you?" I just played it cool, said I really couldn't hear him and after a beat, I just shouted as loud as I could into the phone. It was quite the moment!4 yearsGot a call from someone offering a discount, but the moment he rang, he wanted my PIN. Obviously a total con!4 yearsBeware, don’t ever share your personal info or PINs - this is definitely a scam! They say they’re from Vodafone, but the number isn’t genuine and Vodafone would never ring up asking for your PIN or sensitive details like that. These scammers seem to run from three fake businesses based in India, around Delhi, Calcutta, and somewhere else. I ended up messing around with them and they just hung up in the end.VodafoneIndiaDelhiCalcutta4 yearsGot a call earlier from a guy with an Indian accent saying he was from Vodafone. Sounded about 20 to 35 years old. I did a quick trace and the IP pointed to somewhere in India. Would say steer clear of this one.VodafoneIndia4 yearsSomebody rang me pretending to be from Vodafone, offering a half price discount. They asked loads of personal details to “confirm” my identity, saying they already had everything anyway. The call got really nasty towards the end with them swearing at me, which just made me sure it was a total scam.Vodafone4 yearsSome bloke rang me up claiming to be from Vodafone saying I could get half off my current plan for six months, but to sort it out he wanted me to share my PIN with him.Vodafone4 yearsGot a missed call from them about 8 in the evening. Tried ringing back but no one picked up.Submit Your Own Report (280075244)
