Robocall Scam Report for 02 4095 2958
One contributor has reported receiving a call from 02 4095 2958 (also written as 0240952958) featuring an automated voice message. The robocall claimed an unauthorised $800 charge had been made to an Amazon account, a tactic designed to trigger immediate concern and encourage the recipient to engage with the caller or take action.
The contributor noted they do not have an Amazon account, making this a clear fraudulent attempt. This pattern - using a well-known retailer name to create urgency around a charge the victim cannot verify - is a common robocall strategy to catch people off guard.
What the Robocall from 02 4095 2958 Claims
The automated message from 0240952958 referenced a specific charge amount of $800 on an Amazon account. By naming a recognisable company and a concrete dollar figure, the robocall aims to convince recipients they have a legitimate problem requiring immediate action. The too-good-to-be-true element is that callers often follow up with offers to reverse or dispute the charge, but only after obtaining payment details or bank information.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
I received a call from 02 4095 2958 claiming I have an Amazon charge. Should I be concerned?
Yes, this matches a reported robocall pattern from 0240952958. Do not engage with the message or press any keys. Hang up immediately and independently verify any charges by logging into your actual Amazon account online or calling Amazon directly using the number on your card statement. Legitimate companies do not contact you via automated robocall to collect payment details.
What should I do if I pressed a key or stayed on the line with 02 4095 2958?
If you provided no personal information, monitor your bank and credit accounts for suspicious activity. If you shared banking details, payment information, or personal identification with 0240952958, contact your bank immediately and consider freezing your credit. Report the call to ACMA at acma.gov.au and Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Is 02 4095 2958 a legitimate Amazon number?
No. Amazon does not contact customers via automated robocalls claiming charges without prior contact. If you need to reach Amazon about a charge, use the contact details on your account within your Amazon login or on your receipt. The number 0240952958 is registered as a local service in NSW and does not belong to Amazon.
Why do robocalls from 02 4095 2958 mention specific dollar amounts?
Mentioning a specific amount like $800 makes the scam more convincing. Many people receive multiple charges and may not immediately remember every transaction, so callers from 0240952958 rely on this urgency and confusion to pressure you into providing information before you can verify the claim independently.
How can I block 02 4095 2958?
On most Australian phones, you can block 0240952958 by saving the number to contacts and marking it as spam, or by using your phone's built-in call blocking feature. Check your phone settings under Call Blocking or Do Not Disturb. If you continue receiving calls from 02 4095 2958 or similar numbers, report each instance to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
What is the difference between a robocall scam and legitimate contact from a company?
Legitimate companies use real people to call you, not automated voices, and they have clear ways to verify they're genuine (you can call them back using an official number). A robocall like the one from 02 4095 2958 uses automation to reach many numbers at once and typically demands immediate action. Hang up on any automated message asking you to press keys or provide information about charges you haven't requested.
