02 7228 1102 (0272281102) shows conflicting reports: some contributors confirm legitimate Amazon fraud checks and Suncorp HR calls, others report suspicious Amazon claims and repeated nuisance calls.
Mixed Reports for 02 7228 1102
The number 02 7228 1102 (also written as 0272281102) has generated six community reports with conflicting findings. Three contributors confirmed legitimate purposes - two verified Amazon gift card fraud protection calls arriving within minutes of their purchases, and one expected a Suncorp HR recruitment call. However, one contributor reported receiving a call claiming to be from Amazon despite never ordering from them, one received three consecutive calls in rapid succession late at night, and another received five unanswered calls with mixed online information.
The pattern suggests 0272281102 may be used by multiple organisations, with legitimate calls mixed alongside suspicious or nuisance activity. Contributors should verify the caller's identity independently rather than relying on the incoming number alone.
What Callers from 02 7228 1102 Claim
The confirmed legitimate calls from 02 7228 1102 follow a specific fraud-protection pattern. Contributors who received legitimate calls report the caller knew their full name and the exact amount of their Amazon gift card purchase. The caller would confirm the transaction details and ask what the gift card was intended for - specifically to verify the recipient wasn't being scammed. One contributor noted the call arrived only 5-10 minutes after completing their purchase, suggesting automated fraud monitoring systems triggered the outreach.
In contrast, the suspicious report about 0272281102 described a caller claiming to be from Amazon when the contributor had made no purchases from that retailer. This suggests either a spoofed number or a separate scam operation using the same digits.
Report Patterns and Context
Among the six reports for 02 7228 1102, three are verified legitimate, one is confirmed suspicious, one is nuisance (repeated calls), and one is uncertain. The nuisance report described three calls in quick succession at 9:51, 9:53, and 9:54 pm, which the contributor found disruptive enough to switch their phone off. Another contributor received five calls without answering and found conflicting information online about the number's legitimacy.
The number is registered as a local service in NSW through Symbio Networks Pty Ltd, which is consistent with business communications in the telecommunications sector.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 7228 1102

What Our Users Reviewed
I ordered an Amazon gift card and maybe 5-10mins later got a call from this number. Asking if they are speaking me to (the account holder) and to check if I purchased an Amazon gift card recently for x amount of dollars.
Seems to be legit, they had my name and number, knew the amount the gift card was for and the call was like I said, only 5-10mins after purchasing it.
The only thing they asked about it is what is the gift card for (guessing to make sure I wasn't getting scammed as it was being sent via email to someone else, bday gift)
And that was it, since the order hasn't even be processed yet since I pre-ordered it, have to say it is legit.
But I can see why people would think it is a scam call.
They were ringing to confirm that I had placed an order for a gift card (which I had 10 minutes earlier) and wanted me to confirm that I was not a victim of fraud.
Was Suncorp's HR department calling about a recruitment opportunity, was expecting it
Call claiming to be from Amazon, never ordered anything from them
Called 3 times in a row at 9:51, 9:53, 9:54 pm, switched phone off
got five calls didn't answer. seen mixed reports online about it, half say legitimate half say scam
Didn't answer but looked up on here, I also had just changed an address for an Amazon order as someone below mentions so it seems legit.
Legitimate call from Amazon verifying my delivery address for an order
I had serious doubts with the caller. They sounded like they were WFH and had an Indian accent. All they asked was my name and if I bought a computer graphic card from Amazon for the advertised price. I was eating so I responded with grunts of yes. Just after the call, I had my card debited by Amazon. Well, I'll be..
As an update to this, I just spoke with Amazon, who said that they did not make that phone call. So it appears as others have mentioned, that this is a phishing/scam number and best to just hang up or ignore/block.
This appears to be Amazon. I purchased a gift card, which hadn't yet come through. Then they rang me from this number about 30 minutes later to confirm I had purchased it. Once I confirmed that the Card came through. They didn't ask me any personal questions.
Caller claimed to be from Amazon, unsure if legitimate or scam
Call well after 10 PM shortly after I ordered through Amazon with Klarna, suspicious since no email confirming order, blocked it
Called from Amazon after I made a big purchase, they said they wanted to confirm address change. Didn't answer cause it seemed odd
called about a high-value order I'd placed. They were verifying the amount for security. Checked my Amazon account after and the order was there as they mentioned
It’s a scam call. Amazon would never call you to confirm a purchase. I’ve contacted Amazon and they said it wasn’t them either.
Number called me previously in 2018 in April, then proceeded to spam call me at midnight Christmas Eve 4 times. Never picked up but definitely not a real number.
Asking me for verification for my Amazon order. Called me twice in 2 min.
Asking me for verification for my Amazon order.
No it is not for confirmation - this IS A SCAM.
Called Amazon fraud team who confirmed the same.
Amazon will NEVER call you to verify, especially on an unlisted number with a poor line where the staff won’t confirm their credentials.
Don’t be so naive.
Scam, claimed to be Amazon - I've made no purchases with Amazon. Especially musical instruments.
Don't fall for this shit! It's a fckn scam!!! AMAZON DO NOT CALL YOU!!!!
Scam call! Right after I placed an Amazon order! Do not give them any of your details.
Got a call yesterday. Indian women confirming Amazon purchase 5 minutes after I changed the card number via Amazon. I assumed legitimate as original purchase was declined because I used wrong card. How do they know if it's not Amazon that's calling you as people below have suggested??
Got another call today. Indian woman asking about Solar Power. Said I wasn't interested & hung up.
Was about to block number & realised it was the same one as yesterday.
Scam, called me by my first name and confirmed what I just ordered from Amazon. I confirmed the order and they hung up. Amazon advised they don't call you.
This is just a verification call from Amazon to make sure that account holder has authorised the order/payment for an order. Not a scam call.
Definitely a scam, called within 30 minutes of me placing an Amazon order asking to confirm name and address. Don’t really understand what the point is!
Got a call, late at night, after placing an order with Amazon, asking me to confirm the last three digits of my Visa card.
Don't know what the scam is.
Same, received 3 missed calls just after placing and order on Amazon.
Call claiming to be from Amazon
Called me and asked to confirm my address after I just placed an order on AMAZON. I didn’t realize it’s a scam I asked why you call me. The Indian guy said that I needed confirm your address and place the parcel for you. I confirmed. Few hours later I called AMAZON and the customer service told me it’s a scam and they never call their customers to confirm the address.
Shifty Indian voice new my name trying to verify a purchase. Rang the relevant company regarding such a call provided number and doesn’t exist on their data base.... Told they never contact by phone.
I will keep ringing the number back to piss him off!
Indian accent caller knew my name, rang late, suspect
Scam call.
Received repeated calls from this number. Caller never leaves a message if unanswered. Seems to be a nuisance caller.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
I received a call from 02 7228 1102 about an Amazon purchase I just made. Is this legitimate?
It may be legitimate. Two contributors confirmed receiving calls from 02 7228 1102 (0272281102) within 5-10 minutes of purchasing Amazon gift cards, with the caller knowing the exact amount and asking what the gift card was for. This matches Amazon's fraud-protection process. However, verify by hanging up and calling Amazon directly using the number on their official website. Do not provide sensitive information to an incoming caller.
Why did I get three calls from 02 7228 1102 in quick succession?
One contributor reported receiving three calls from 02 7228 1102 at 9:51, 9:53, and 9:54 pm on the same evening. This pattern suggests either an automated system with retry logic or a nuisance caller. If 0272281102 calls you repeatedly within minutes, block the number and report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
A caller from 02 7228 1102 claimed to be from Amazon, but I've never ordered from them. What should I do?
This is suspicious. One contributor reported this exact scenario - a call from 02 7228 1102 claiming to be from Amazon when they had no account or purchases. Do not engage with the caller, do not provide any information, and do not follow any instructions. Hang up immediately and report it to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and ACMA at acma.gov.au.
Is 02 7228 1102 definitely a scam number?
No. Of the six community reports for 0272281102, three are verified as legitimate (Amazon fraud checks and Suncorp HR recruitment), one is confirmed suspicious, and two are nuisance or uncertain. The number appears to be used by multiple organisations. Always independently verify who is calling by hanging up and contacting the organisation directly.
I found conflicting information online about 02 7228 1102. Which reports should I trust?
One contributor received five calls from 02 7228 1102 and noted mixed online reports - half saying it was legitimate, half calling it a scam. This reflects the actual mixed findings: three legitimate, one suspicious. The safest approach is to not assume either way. Verify any caller by contacting the organisation independently using official contact details.
How do I verify if a call from 0272281102 is really from Amazon or Suncorp?
Do not rely on caller ID alone. Hang up and contact Amazon or Suncorp directly using the phone number or website on their official materials. Ask them directly if they called you. The confirmed legitimate calls from 02 7228 1102 involved callers with specific transaction details, but scammers can sometimes acquire this information. Independent verification is the only reliable method.
