One contributor has reported receiving an automated call from 02 4093 1979 (also written as 0240931979).

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is a robocall and why did I receive one from 02 4093 1979?
A robocall is an automated call delivered by a machine rather than a person. The contributor who reported 02 4093 1979 (0240931979) could not understand the message, which is typical of robocalls used for scams, spam, or tests of active numbers. Scammers use robocalls because they can contact many people at low cost, often to gather information or set up callback scams.
Should I call back 0240931979 if I miss a call from 02 4093 1979?
No. Do not return a call to 0240931979 or any robocall number. Calling back confirms to scammers that your number is active and monitored by a real person, making you a higher-priority target for future scams. This is a common callback scam tactic.
Is 02 4093 1979 a real NSW phone number?
02 4093 1979 (0240931979) is allocated as a local service number in NSW through Symbio Networks. However, allocation does not guarantee legitimacy. Scammers can spoof or lease phone numbers, so the fact that 02 4093 1979 is a registered NSW number does not mean the caller is legitimate.
What should I do if I answer a robocall from 0240931979?
If you answer and hear an unintelligible message or silence, hang up immediately. Do not press any number keys, do not say anything, and do not stay on the line waiting for someone to speak. Responding in any way confirms your number is active. Block 02 4093 1979 afterward.
