Telstra Impersonation and Robocall Reports for 02 7245 4532
Five contributors have reported activity from 02 7245 4532 (also written as 0272454532), with the most concerning reports involving impersonation tactics. Two separate reports describe callers claiming affiliation with Telstra, while others detail automated robocalls and fake delivery notifications. The number is allocated to Symbio Networks in NSW, though callers misrepresent the source of contact.
The pattern suggests multiple tactics being cycled through this number. Contributors report both live callers and pre-recorded messages, indicating either a coordinated operation or number reuse across different scam campaigns.
What Callers from 02 7245 4532 Claim
One contributor received a call from 02 7245 4532 where the caller claimed to be from Telstra and stated that the recipient's internet service had issues. The caller then pivoted to asking if the recipient wanted to change their internet provider - a common upsell tactic used to transition victims toward account access or payment collection. When the contributor questioned whether it was a scam, the caller immediately hung up.
A second report about 02 7245 4532 describes a voicemail claiming an imported package had not been collected, with no sender identification provided. This follows the delivery impersonation pattern where scammers create urgency around uncollected parcels to prompt callbacks or information sharing.
One contributor also reported receiving a voicemail from this number with a pre-recorded message offering language options (press 2 for Chinese), suggesting an automated robocall system. When the contributor called back, another recording answered, confirming the automated nature of the campaign.
A separate report mentions receiving calls from the 02 7245 range, with one instance involving an Indonesian speaker who spoke briefly then disconnected.
Report Patterns and Timing
Reports span from late June 2025 through February 2026, indicating sustained use of 02 7245 4532 over several months. The calls have arrived via multiple channels: answered calls, voicemails, and missed calls, suggesting the operation uses both live agents and automated dialling systems.
Three of the five reports involve scam or spam tactics, while two contributors reported uncertainty about the call source. The mix of Telstra impersonation, delivery scams, and robocalls suggests this number may be used opportunistically for different campaigns rather than a single focused scam.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would someone impersonate Telstra when calling from 02 7245 4532?
Scammers impersonate Telstra because it's a well-known, trusted provider and triggers urgency about internet service. The contributor who received a Telstra impersonation call from 02 7245 4532 reported the caller quickly pivoted to changing providers - the goal is often to gain account access, collect payment, or install malware. Telstra never initiates unsolicited calls about service problems.
What should I do if 02 7245 4532 left a voicemail about a package?
Do not respond to the voicemail from 02 7245 4532. One contributor received exactly this - a voicemail claiming an imported package was uncollected with no sender details. Instead, visit Australia Post or your courier's official website directly to check for genuine undelivered items. Scammers use delivery anxiety to rush you into providing information or clicking malicious links.
Is the robocall from 02 7245 4532 safe to answer?
No. A contributor reported receiving an automated robocall from 02 7245 4532 with language selection prompts. When they called back, another recording answered. Robocalls are typically used for spam filtering, list verification, or scam campaigns. Answering confirms your number is active and may result in more calls. Block 02 7245 4532 immediately.
Can I trust that 02 7245 4532 is really from my internet provider?
No. One contributor received a call from 02 7245 4532 where the caller claimed to represent Telstra but hung up when questioned - a clear sign of impersonation. Your real internet provider will never call unsolicited about service problems. Always verify by contacting the provider directly using the number on your bill or their official website, never using details from the incoming call.
Why are there multiple different scams coming from 02 7245 4532?
The variety of tactics (Telstra impersonation, delivery scams, robocalls) suggests either different scam operations reusing the same number or a coordinated group running multiple campaigns. Contributors have reported Telstra claims, package notifications, and automated messages - each designed to extract different outcomes. This pattern is common with numbers used by fraud rings that sell or lease access.
Should I report 02 7245 4532 to the police?
For financial loss or serious fraud attempts, yes. For impersonation calls and scam attempts without financial impact, report to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) and ACMA (acma.gov.au), which aggregate reports and investigate patterns.
