02 5120 1519 - 0251201519: Repeated Calls from Spoofed Numbers

• Uncertain
• Spam

02 5120 1519 (0251201519): Contributors report repeated calls from spoofed caller IDs showing UK, Perth, Brisbane, and Ringwood locations. Pattern suggests number spoofing scam.

Repeated Calls and Spoofed Caller IDs from 02 5120 1519

Two contributors have reported suspicious activity from 02 5120 1519 (also written as 0251201519). The pattern indicates a coordinated calling campaign using number spoofing techniques, where the same caller or network disguises their true origin by displaying different geographic caller IDs.

One contributor blocked approximately 50 numbers in two weeks, all displaying different locations (UK, Perth, Brisbane, Ringwood) on their caller ID while originating from the same source. This behaviour is characteristic of scam operations using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology to mask their actual location and bypass call-blocking measures.

What Callers from 02 5120 1519 Display

The key indicator of this scam pattern is the use of spoofed caller IDs. When calls from 0251201519 reach contributors, the displayed number changes frequently, showing locations as diverse as UK numbers and Australian suburbs including Perth, Brisbane, and Ringwood. This deliberate deception serves multiple purposes: it evades simple call-blocking strategies, exploits trust in local-looking numbers, and suggests the operation uses centralised calling infrastructure with spoofing capability.

One contributor reported receiving constant calls from these varying numbers over a single week period. The high frequency combined with the rotating caller IDs indicates an automated calling system rather than manual outreach.

Report Patterns and Frequency

Both reports document high call volume concentrated over short timeframes. One contributor received multiple calls daily over two weeks and blocked around 50 numbers in response. The second contributor noted getting calls from 02 5120 1519 across "heaps of different areas" but did not answer, instead allowing them to go to voicemail.

The NSW-based allocation of 0251201519 through Symbio Networks suggests the service may have been legitimately registered, but the spoofing pattern indicates the number has been compromised or intentionally misused for scam calling campaigns.
