The robocall reports from 02 6261 1111 describe an automated system attempting to simulate natural conversation.

Understanding Robocall and Impersonation Risks
The combination of robocall technology and impersonation tactics seen with 02 6261 1111 represents a sophisticated fraud approach. Robocalls allow scammers to contact hundreds of people rapidly, while impersonating recognisable organisations like ASIS increases response rates. Voice recording attempts are particularly concerning because recorded audio can be used to create synthetic voice clones, bypass voice-based authentication systems, or construct fraudulent evidence of conversations that never occurred.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would someone call from 02 6261 1111 claiming to be from ASIS if I never applied there?
This is a common impersonation tactic. Scammers may use ASIS's name because it's a recognised organisation, hoping you'll be more likely to engage. They may target random numbers hoping some recipients have actually applied, or they may have obtained your contact details from a data breach. The request for resubmitted job applications is designed to collect personal information like your full employment history, contact details, or identity documents. Never provide such information in response to unsolicited calls, even if they mention a real organisation. Verify any employment contact by calling the organisation directly using a publicly listed number from their official website.
Is 0262611111 a real ASIS number?
No. ASIS is a real Australian government organisation, but 02 6261 1111 is not their official contact number. If you need to contact ASIS regarding an actual application or employment matter, visit their official website and use the contact information provided there. Do not use a number provided by an inbound caller. The use of ASIS's name combined with this Telstra ACT number demonstrates impersonation rather than legitimate representation.
What should I do if 0262611111 calls me asking me to repeat my voice?
Hang up immediately and do not engage. Robocalls that prompt you to speak are attempting to record your voice for fraudulent purposes. Even a simple 'yes' or repetition of your name can be misused. If 02 6261 1111 calls again, let it ring through to voicemail without answering. Once blocked, the number should not reach you. If calls persist, report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au and your phone provider Telstra.
Can I block 02 6261 1111 on my phone?
Yes. Most Australian phone providers, including Telstra (which provisioned this local number), offer blocking services. You can typically block 02 6261 1111 directly through your phone's built-in block list, or contact Telstra to have the number blocked at the network level. Ask Telstra's customer service team to flag 0262611111 as a scam number so they can warn other customers and potentially investigate the source. Some phones also support filtering by scam detection apps.
If I've already spoken to someone from 02 6261 1111, what should I do?
If you've provided personal information during a call from 02 6261 1111, monitor your accounts closely for unusual activity. If you disclosed identity details, financial information, or employment history, consider placing a fraud alert with your bank and checking your credit file through Equifax or other credit providers. If you're concerned your voice was recorded, consider changing any voice-based authentication passwords or PINs. Report the call to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) and ACMA (acma.gov.au) so the number can be investigated.
How common are robocalls from Australian numbers like 02 6261 1111?
Robocalls using local Australian numbers have increased significantly. Scammers often use Australian area codes and formats (like the 02 ACT code in 02 6261 1111) because people are more likely to answer calls that appear local. This number is Telstra-provisioned in ACT, making it appear legitimate. Community reports on Reverseau help identify these patterns. If you've received robocalls from 0262611111 or similar local numbers, report them to ACMA at acma.gov.au so they can track scam campaigns and take enforcement action.
