Mixed Reports for 02 4093 0940

The number 02 4093 0940 (also written as 0240930940) has generated six community reports with notably conflicting signals. While two contributors confirmed legitimate calls from NSW Health Department about community health information, others have flagged the number for spam and suspicious behaviour. This mixed pattern suggests either legitimate contact from NSW Health being impersonated by scammers, or the number being used by multiple callers.

The presence of both legitimate and spam reports for 0240930940 warrants attention, as it may indicate the number has been compromised or spoofed. Contributors reporting spam describe unwanted calls about health department research and suspicious text messages from associated numbers.

What Callers from 02 4093 0940 Report

Callers using 02 4093 0940 have identified themselves as representatives conducting government surveys on health and community health research. One contributor received a call they confirmed as legitimate from NSW Health Department, but others reported identical or similar claims as spam, suggesting potential impersonation.

The spam variant involves callers attempting to involve recipients in what one contributor described as "dodgy health department research." A text message associated with 0240930940 referenced "Wallis social research" claiming to conduct a government survey on health. The same SMS also included an alternative number 0480 800 556, which may indicate coordination between multiple phone lines for the spam campaign.

Call Patterns and Timing

One contributor reported receiving a call from 02 4093 0940 after 8pm, describing the late time as suspicious given standard government department business hours. Another received an SMS claiming the number had called, though the contributor's phone showed no incoming call - a tactic sometimes used in callback scams or to verify active phone numbers.

The reports span from mid-October through early December 2025, showing ongoing activity. With legitimate reports mixed alongside spam claims, contributors should exercise caution and verify any government health survey requests independently rather than relying on caller identification alone.
