Based on community reports, 02 4018 1718 appears to be spam rather than a scam attempting financial fraud.

The number is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd in NSW, though that does not confirm the identity of the actual caller.
Why am I receiving multiple calls from sequential numbers like 02 4018 1718?
One contributor reported calls from 02 4018 1718, 02 4018 1717, and 02 4018 1716 on the same day, suggesting automated dialling across a range of numbers. This is a common spam tactic to increase the chance of reaching someone and making it harder to block the source.
Should I answer a call from 0240181718?
No. Contributors who reported 0240181718 did not answer the calls, and this is the recommended approach. Answering confirms your number is active, which may result in more calls. Let calls from 02 4018 1718 go to voicemail and block the number.
What should I do if I keep receiving calls from 02 4018 1718?
Block 02 4018 1718 on your phone immediately. If the calls persist or come from related numbers (like 02 4018 1717 or 1716), block those as well. Report the number to ACMA at acma.gov.au and to your phone provider. If the calls are continuous and threatening, contact local police.
Can I report 02 4018 1718 to the Do Not Call Register?
You can register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au, though many spam and scam callers ignore it. For active spam from 0240181718, reporting to ACMA is more effective, as they can investigate patterns and take enforcement action against the source.
What is Symbio Networks Pty Ltd and why is 02 4018 1718 allocated to them?
