Medical Information Scam Reports for 02 7241 5489

Two contributors have reported suspicious voicemail messages from 02 7241 5489 (also written as 0272415489), with one identified as a scam attempt targeting personal medical information. The calls originated from a local NSW number allocated to Symbio Networks.

A contributor who received a voicemail from 0272415489 flagged the call as a scam after the caller requested an update to medical details without identifying themselves or confirming who they were speaking to. The voicemail was left in both English and Chinese, which is a notable pattern in coordinated scam campaigns targeting multilingual communities.

What Callers from 02 7241 5489 Are Requesting

The specific tactic reported involves requesting personal medical information via voicemail. The caller did not identify their organisation, name, or purpose before asking for details to be updated. This lack of proper identification combined with the request for sensitive health information is a hallmark of phishing scams that harvest personal data for identity theft or fraudulent medical billing.

One contributor noted the caller from 02 7241 5489 did not ask who they were talking to, which is unusual for legitimate healthcare providers. Genuine medical centres and health services always verify the patient's identity before discussing or requesting medical information. The multilingual voicemail approach suggests the scammers may be targeting elderly or recently arrived residents who are less familiar with Australian healthcare verification protocols.

Report Patterns and Channel

Both reports about 0272415489 came through voicemail, indicating the callers are leaving recorded messages rather than attempting live conversation. This is typical of mass scam campaigns, where attackers use automated systems to leave voicemails at scale. The fact that one voicemail was left in both English and Chinese suggests a deliberate effort to reach different language communities.

The timeframe between reports (March to November 2025) suggests ongoing activity from this number, though the two reports may represent two different scam waves from the same number or operator.
