Is 0240628508 a legitimate business number?
While 0240628508 is allocated as a local service number in NSW, this allocation does not guarantee legitimacy. Scammers often use or spoof legitimate-looking local numbers. Always independently verify any caller's identity by contacting the organisation directly using an official number from their website.
How do I block 02 4062 8508 on my phone?
Most Australian phones allow you to block numbers directly. On iPhone, open the recent call from 02 4062 8508, tap the info icon, and select 'Block this Caller'. On Android, long-press the number and select 'Block'. You can also report it as spam in your phone's call settings.

The Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) handles unsolicited telemarketing calls. If 0240628508 is making repeated unwanted calls, you can register your number. However, if the call is a scam attempt, reporting to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) and ACMA (acma.gov.au) is more appropriate.
Why do scammers use local NSW numbers like 02 4062 8508?
Scammers often use numbers that appear local to build trust and increase the likelihood of callers answering. A number like 02 4062 8508 starting with a regional NSW code looks more legitimate than an unknown international number. Never assume a number is safe based on its format; always verify the caller's identity independently.
