Comes up occasionally, amongst other numbers including unmasked international numbers and are being made by an off-shore telemarketer. People have reported that there is no-one there. Quite correct, no-one is there, the "silence" is the pause between the automatic dialler and being connected with a real-life operator. If you're real lucky when you've missed a call, you may or may not get another call or three - not necessarily from the samr display number.
The calls usually come around the same time, same day, sometimes weekly, sometimes less frequent.
For some sport, I have taken to picking up the call, wait a few seconds, then disconnect. It's not much, but I figure the least I can do is waste their money by accepting the call. Hopefully in time the company will remove my number from their system.

I always do this with random calls I copy the number paste in safari and search then get all these "complaint" pages which are really useful

Just got a call from the same number. Only rang for 10 seconds at most before it hung up. Checked online and found this page. I assume it's a scam.

Often get a call from these guys - no-one there when I answer, so I just don't answer anymore. They ring at random times of the day and early evening.

Telemarketer from a 'wealth creation' company called RJ(?) Projects, offering Coles and Bunnings vouchers to hook you in. Could well be one of those companies selling overpriced residential investment properties.... my advice is beware!

Received 3 calls from this number over 5 days, all in the evening (last one 24/11/15) but always stops ringing before I could answer it (mobile). Tonight, I rang them on my landline which is a silent number, a woman with an Australian accent answered & questioned whether I was responding to an unanswered call which is what this is. I said 'yes' & then she went into her spruke about Lifestyle & free Bunnings vouchers but that this would only apply if I was a homeowner or had a mortgage. I said neither of them applied to me so she then asked what the mobile number was that I had received the call on so that she could enter it on the 'do not call register'. I told her I would be doing that myself then hung up. Damn nuisance is all I can say. They ring the mobile number but hang up before you can answer so that it doesn't cost anything then we stupidly ring them back with all of the expense, ours!

Had a missed call from this number everyday for 2 weeks. Finally answered before they hung up and some lady said sorry I've got the wrong number? Strange. Not sure what they are hoping to get out of this?
