Norton Security Impersonation Reports for 02 7202 3419
One contributor has reported a scam call from 02 7202 3419 (also written as 0272023419) involving impersonation of Norton Security software. The caller claimed the recipient's Norton Security subscription required immediate payment of $389 to remain active, creating artificial urgency by demanding payment within 12 hours or threatening service cancellation.
This type of technical support impersonation scam is designed to pressure victims into making immediate payments without time to verify the legitimacy of the request. The number 0272023419 was allocated to a local service provider in New South Wales, but this allocation does not indicate legitimate business use.
What the Caller from 02 7202 3419 Demanded
The contributor reported that the caller from 02 7202 3419 made specific demands:
- Demanded payment of exactly $389 for Norton Security renewal
- Claimed the software subscription would expire or be deactivated within 12 hours
- Requested personal information to process the payment
- Used urgency and threats of service loss to pressure immediate compliance
This pattern matches known Norton Security impersonation scams where callers reference legitimate security software to gain credibility, then exploit time pressure to prevent victims from verifying the claim through official channels.
Report Timing and Context
The report for 0272023419 was submitted in February 2026. The caller used high-pressure tactics typical of technical support scams, where the combination of a recognisable brand name (Norton Security), a specific dollar amount ($389), and a narrow time window (12 hours) are designed to bypass rational decision-making.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 7202 3419 a real Norton Security number?
No. The contributor's report confirms that 02 7202 3419 (0272023419) is not affiliated with Norton Security. Norton's official support channels are listed on their website - norton.com. If you're concerned about your subscription, contact Norton directly using their official channels rather than calling a number from an incoming call.
Why would a scammer claim Norton Security needs $389?
Norton Security is a well-known brand that many Australians use, making it credible in a scam. By claiming your subscription is expiring and demanding a specific amount ($389), callers from 02 7202 3419 exploit brand recognition and time pressure to bypass normal verification. Legitimate Norton notifications come through your account or installed software, not unexpected calls.
What should I do if I already gave information to this number?
If you provided payment details or personal information to 0272023419, contact your bank or financial institution immediately to flag the transaction and monitor your accounts. You can also report the incident to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) and ACMA (acma.gov.au) to help prevent others from being targeted by calls from 02 7202 3419.
How do I verify if Norton Security is actually active on my device?
Open Norton Security directly on your computer or device - don't click links or follow caller instructions from 02 7202 3419. Your Norton application will show subscription status and renewal dates clearly. If you're unsure, visit norton.com (by typing it yourself in your browser), log into your account, and check your subscription details. Legitimate service providers never pressure you into immediate payments via unexpected calls.
Can I block 02 7202 3419 on my phone?
Yes. If 0272023419 calls repeatedly, use your phone's built-in blocking feature. On most Australian phones, you can block the number directly from your call history. You can also register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au, though scammers often ignore this. Blocking 02 7202 3419 prevents future calls from this specific number.
Why is this number allocated to Symbio Networks in NSW if it's being used for scams?
Phone numbers can be misused or spoofed by scammers regardless of their legitimate allocation. The fact that 02 7202 3419 is allocated to Symbio Networks (a local service provider in NSW) doesn't mean the company is responsible for the scam call - the number may have been compromised or the scammer may be spoofing it. This is why you should never trust caller ID alone and always verify requests through official channels.
