Suspicious Call Reports for 02 5016 7518
Two contributors have reported calls from 02 5016 7518 (also written as 0250167518), a local NSW number. Both reports describe calls that left no voicemail message, raising questions about the caller's intent. The pattern of repeated contact without communication is a common characteristic of nuisance or potential scam activity.
The number is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd as a local service in NSW. One contributor noted the call appeared to originate from a small NSW town, which combined with the silent approach suggests this may not be a legitimate business trying to reach them.
Call Patterns and Behaviour
Both contributors reported missed calls from 0250167518 without any voicemail left behind. One contributor received two calls from 02 5016 7518 in succession, while the other received at least one call from the same number. The refusal to leave a message is suspicious behaviour, as legitimate organisations typically identify themselves and state the purpose of their call.
The lack of communication when calling twice or more suggests the caller may be testing whether the number is active, gathering data for a larger scam operation, or conducting harassment. This pattern differs from genuine telemarketing or customer service calls, which almost always include a voicemail explaining the reason for contact.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 5016 7518
If 0250167518 calls you and you don't recognise the number:
- Do not: Answer if you don't recognise the number, call the number back, or provide any personal information
- Do: Let the call go to voicemail, block the number if it calls again, and check your bank and email for any unauthorised activity
- Check independently: If the call relates to a service you use, contact the organisation directly using a number from their official website, never using a callback number from an unknown caller
Repeated silent calls from 02 5016 7518 warrant blocking the number on your phone. Most modern phones allow you to block numbers directly in the call log or through your carrier settings.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I answer calls from 02 5016 7518?
No. If you don't recognise 0250167518, it's safer to let it go to voicemail. If it's legitimate, they'll leave a message explaining who they are and why they called. The fact that previous callers from 02 5016 7518 left no message is a red flag.
What does it mean if 02 5016 7518 calls but leaves no voicemail?
Silent or no-message calls from 0250167518 are suspicious. Genuine businesses always leave a voicemail with their name and reason for calling. Repeated calls with no message suggests the caller may be testing if your number is active, gathering information, or conducting harassment.
Why would someone call from 02 5016 7518 and not leave a message?
Scammers and harassers often call multiple times without leaving messages to test numbers or avoid detection. Legitimate callers have no reason to ring twice without explaining why. If 0250167518 calls you repeatedly without messages, it's worth blocking.
Can I block calls from 02 5016 7518?
Yes. Most Australian phones allow you to block numbers directly. Open the call from 0250167518 in your call log, select block or report as spam, and the number will be added to your blocked list. Future calls from 02 5016 7518 will go straight to voicemail or be rejected.
Should I call back 02 5016 7518 to see who it is?
No. Never call back unknown numbers, especially those that called you without leaving a message. Calling back 0250167518 could confirm your number is active to a scammer or incur unexpected charges. If it's important, they will try again and leave a voicemail.
Where can I report calls from 02 5016 7518?
Report to ACMA (acma.gov.au) for nuisance or suspicious calls, or Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) if you believe 0250167518 is part of a scam. You can also report your experience on Reverseau to help other Australians identify this number and protect themselves.
