Tech Support Impersonation Reports for 02 5700 3374
Four contributors have flagged calls from 02 5700 3374 (also written as 0257003374) for impersonation scams targeting tech-savvy Australians. Two separate reports confirm callers pretending to represent major tech companies, specifically Google and TeamViewer. One contributor characterised the caller as "a total scammer" impersonating Google support, while another reported a caller falsely claiming to be from TeamViewer with what they described as "sketchy" behaviour.
This NSW-based number allocated to Symbio Networks appears to be actively used for social engineering attempts rather than generic spam or telemarketing.
What Callers from 02 5700 3374 Claim
Community reports indicate callers from 0257003374 are impersonating legitimate technology companies to gain trust and access. The impersonation tactic targets users who may already have those services installed or accounts with Google or TeamViewer, making the premise seem credible during the initial contact.
One contributor noted the Google impersonation attempt was deliberate and coordinated fraud rather than accidental misrepresentation. Another contributor warned others not to pick up, emphasising the caller's intent to "pull a fast one" - suggesting high-pressure sales techniques or requests for remote access credentials typical of tech support scams.
Call Patterns and Timing
The four reports for 02 5700 3374 span five months (June to November 2025), indicating ongoing activity. One contributor received two calls from this number without voicemail messages left, suggesting automated or sequential dialling rather than one-off contact. Another report came through as a missed call, while two contributors answered the call and identified the impersonation immediately.
The fact that multiple contributors answered and recognised the scam suggests either inconsistent execution by the scammer or varied awareness among targets.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would a caller from 02 5700 3374 pretend to be from Google or TeamViewer?
Tech support impersonation scams rely on brand recognition to appear legitimate. Contributors reporting 0257003374 indicate callers use these trusted company names to bypass initial scepticism and convince you to grant remote access or share credentials. Once they have access, scammers can steal data, install malware, or trick you into transferring money for fake 'security fixes'.
What should I do if 02 5700 3374 calls claiming to be from my bank or a tech company?
Hang up immediately without confirming any details. Do not follow instructions from the caller. Instead, independently verify by calling the company's official number from their website or your statements. A legitimate company will never call you unsolicited asking for remote access or passwords. Report the call to 0257003374 to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) and ACMA.
One contributor said 02 5700 3374 called twice without leaving a message. What does this mean?
Sequential calls without voicemail suggests automated dialling or deliberate testing of your number. Scammers often use this tactic to identify active numbers before launching a scam call with a live operator. If 0257003374 calls repeatedly, block the number immediately rather than answering.
How can I tell if a tech support call is a scam when callers reference TeamViewer or Google?
Legitimate tech companies never cold-call asking for remote access or credentials. If someone from 02 5700 3374 or any number claims your device has a problem and asks you to download TeamViewer, Google Chrome Remote Desktop, or AnyDesk, it's a scam. Hang up and call the company directly using their official contact details.
What happens if I accidentally grant remote access to a caller from 0257003374?
Immediately disconnect from the internet, change all passwords (especially banking and email) from a secure device, and contact your bank. Report the incident to ReportCyber (cyber.gov.au) and ACMA. If financial transactions occurred, also contact your bank's fraud team. Contributors who recognised the scam early avoided financial loss by hanging up before granting access.
Is 02 5700 3374 definitely a scam number, or could it be a legitimate business?
Community reports indicate 0257003374 is being used for impersonation scams pretending to be Google and TeamViewer support. While the number is allocated to Symbio Networks (a legitimate NSW provider), the evidence from multiple contributors shows coordinated fraudulent impersonation. Treat calls from 02 5700 3374 with extreme scepticism, especially if the caller references tech companies you didn't contact first.
