Suspicious Activity Reported for 02 5022 1311
A single contributor has flagged 02 5022 1311 (also written as 0250221311) for suspicious calling behaviour. The report describes receiving two calls within two days from this number. When the contributor attempted to call back 0250221311, they encountered only elevator music rather than a person or business voicemail, raising concerns about the legitimacy of the caller.
The number is registered as a local service in Victoria via Symbio Networks Pty Ltd. This type of response when calling back a number that initiated contact is a common indicator of either a spoofed number or an automated system designed to mask the caller's true identity.
What This Report Indicates
The pattern of repeated calls combined with the inability to reach anyone when returning the call suggests this may not be a standard business operation. Legitimate businesses typically have proper call handling systems, voicemail greetings, or staff to answer incoming calls. The elevator music response is often associated with abandoned call systems or spoofed numbers used in scam or spam operations.
While a single report provides limited context about the caller's intentions, the behaviour described is consistent with numbers flagged by other Reverseau contributors for unwanted calling activity. The fact that 02 5022 1311 called multiple times in quick succession suggests automated or persistent outreach rather than a missed connection.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I answer if 02 5022 1311 calls me?
It's safest not to answer calls from unknown numbers, especially if they've called multiple times. If 02 5022 1311 calls you, let it go to voicemail. A legitimate caller will leave a message explaining who they are and why they're calling. The contributor who reported this number encountered only elevator music when calling back 0250221311, which suggests no legitimate business operation on the other end.
Why does calling back 0250221311 just play elevator music?
Elevator music or silence when calling back typically indicates either an automated system not designed for inbound calls, a spoofed number, or an inactive line. Legitimate businesses have voicemail greetings, receptionists, or auto-responders. The contributor's experience with 02 5022 1311 showing this pattern across two outbound calls within two days suggests the number may not be operating as a standard business line.
Is 02 5022 1311 a scam number?
Based on one report, it's unclear if 02 5022 1311 is a scam or just an unwanted call source. However, the suspicious calling pattern (repeated calls with no callback option) warrants blocking it. If you receive a call from 0250221311 and they make claims about money, threats, or requests for personal information, it's more likely to be malicious. Otherwise, it may be persistent telemarketing or abandoned calls.
How many times has 02 5022 1311 been reported?
Currently, one contributor has reported 02 5022 1311 to Reverseau. This contributor received two calls within two days and reported the suspicious behaviour when attempts to call back the number yielded only elevator music. If you've also been contacted by 0250221311, adding your report would help establish whether this is a widespread issue.
How can I block 02 5022 1311 on my phone?
On most Australian phones, you can block 02 5022 1311 by opening your call history, finding the number 0250221311, and selecting 'Block' or 'Add to Block List.' On iPhone, open the call log, tap the info icon next to the number, and choose 'Block this Caller.' On Android, tap the three dots and select 'Block number.'

What should I do if 02 5022 1311 keeps calling after I block it?
