02 6189 3914 (0261893914): Community reports describe crypto investment scams, robocalls impersonating Wellington Group, and repeated financial product spam from callers claiming to be Indian telemarketers.
Crypto and Financial Scam Reports for 02 6189 3914
Four contributors have reported calls from 02 6189 3914 (also written as 0261893914), with a mixed pattern of cryptocurrency investment scams and persistent financial product spam. Two reports specifically mention Bitcoin and crypto investment pitches, while others describe general financial and mortgage product spam. The number is allocated as a local service in the ACT through Symbio Networks.
The cryptocurrency-related calls stand out as the most concerning pattern. One contributor reported receiving a call about crypto and Bitcoin where the caller refused to identify themselves or their organisation before hanging up. Another contributor described a similar crypto pitch where the caller actively fished for personal information. Both contributors blocked the number after these interactions.
What Callers from 02 6189 3914 Say and Do
Contributors report that callers from 02 6189 3914 employ several different approaches. In the crypto scam calls, callers avoid identifying themselves or their company, immediately raising suspicion when questioned. One contributor noted the caller hung up defensively rather than provide credentials.
The spam calls use a different tactic, with contributors describing repeated calls about financial products, solar installation, and mortgage services. One contributor specifically mentioned the calls were from individuals with Indian accents persistently ringing back multiple times. A separate report indicates an AI-generated voice answered when the contributor called the number back, with the robocall claiming to represent "Wellington Group"-a fake entity used as cover for the spam operation.
Report Patterns and Timing
All four reports came through answered calls rather than voicemails, suggesting the callers are actively reaching people. The reports span October 2025, with the most recent crypto-related call on 27 October and spam reports continuing through mid-October. The frequency of repeat calls mentioned in the spam reports suggests this number is part of an active campaign rather than a one-off attempt.
The mix of scam and spam tactics indicates this number may be used by multiple operations or a coordinated campaign cycling through different product pitches. Contributors report blocking the number after each interaction, yet some received multiple calls within the same period.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is Wellington Group mentioned in reports about 02 6189 3914?
Wellington Group does not appear to be a legitimate company. One contributor reported that when they called 0261893914 back, an automated voice answered claiming to represent Wellington Group. This is a common tactic used by spam operations to create a fake corporate identity and appear more credible than they are.
Why are there repeated calls from 02 6189 3914 about different products?
One contributor described receiving multiple calls from 02 6189 3914 about financial products, solar, and mortgages. This suggests the number is either used by a large telemarketing operation cycling through different product pitches to the same people, or the number has been compromised and is being used by multiple scam groups. Either way, repeated calls indicate you should block 0261893914.
Should I provide personal information if 02 6189 3914 calls about a crypto investment?
No. One contributor reported that a caller from 02 6189 3914 actively fished for personal information during a crypto pitch, and another caller refused to identify their company at all. Never provide personal details, bank account information, or investment amounts to unsolicited callers. Hang up and block 0261893914 immediately.
Is 02 6189 3914 a real local number?
02 6189 3914 is allocated as a local service in the ACT through Symbio Networks, meaning it has the right format for a genuine Australian number. However, scammers and spammers often use legitimate-looking number ranges to bypass caller ID filters. The actual origin of the calls may be spoofed or illegally routed through this service. Do not assume legitimacy based on the number format.
What should I do if I've already given information to a caller from 02 6189 3914?
If you've shared personal details, banking information, or investment amounts with a caller from 0261893914, contact your bank immediately and report the scam to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au. Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and consider placing a fraud alert with credit reporting agencies. For crypto investment scams, also report to ReportCyber at cyber.gov.au.
Can I get 02 6189 3914 removed from calling me?
