Supermarket Competition Scam Reports for 02 5110 8735

Seven contributors have reported calls from 02 5110 8735 (also written as 0251108735) claiming they have won or advanced in supermarket competitions. The pattern is consistent across reports: callers use spoofed Canberra caller IDs, reference competitions the recipients allegedly entered, and apply pressure to move quickly through questioning or surveys. Three reports specifically describe this as a scam operation, while others flag the persistent nature and suspicious follow-up behaviour.

The allocation data shows 0251108735 is registered to Symbio Networks in the ACT, though the spoofed Canberra caller ID suggests deliberate misdirection. Multiple reports indicate callers ask far more questions than a legitimate competition verification would require, then claim the process is safe because they don't request bank details initially. This is a classic phishing technique designed to gather personal information for later exploitation.

What Callers from 02 5110 8735 Claim

Contributors report callers claiming they have won or "made it to the next round" of supermarket competitions. One caller identified herself as an Asian or Indian woman and stated the recipient had been selected from a local supermarket entry. Another report mentions callers from "Brand Selective" specifically referencing shopping dockets as the basis for the supposed competition entry.

The questioning pattern is aggressive. One contributor noted the caller asked "way more than three questions" during what should have been a simple verification call. When challenged, callers defend themselves by stating "it's not a scam because they don't want bank details"-a red flag assertion that suggests the caller anticipates scepticism. One contributor who called the number back received an automated message stating all consultants were unavailable, indicating a pre-recorded operation rather than legitimate customer service.

A particularly telling report describes a second call from 02 5110 8735 arriving as a "scrambled" or garbled transmission, suggesting the caller deliberately corrupted the line after the initial contact failed to secure cooperation.

Report Patterns and Timing

The earliest report dates to January 2025, with the most recent in January 2026, indicating sustained activity over a full year. Five of the seven reports involved answered calls where the recipient engaged with the caller; two were missed calls or callback attempts. The evening timing of several reports (21:34, 20:51, 04:50) suggests callers target times when people are less likely to be vigilant or able to verify claims immediately.

One contributor reported persistent contact: the caller "kept going on about it" when the recipient expressed uncertainty, applying continuous pressure rather than accepting refusal. Another noted that when asked to call back to verify, the caller "hung up," avoiding any opportunity for the recipient to independently confirm legitimacy. This avoidance of verification is a hallmark of scam operations.
