Suspicious Activity Reports for 02 7245 8378
Two contributors have reported suspicious activity from 02 7245 8378 (also written as 0272458378), a NSW-based local service number. Both reports involve missed calls where the number appeared marked as spam on the recipient's phone. Neither caller left a voicemail message, which is a common pattern in certain types of unwanted calling campaigns.
One contributor described the call as "everything about it screams scam," while another noted the call arrived unexpectedly with no legitimate follow-up attempt via voicemail. This pattern of unsolicited calls with no message is often associated with spam dialling campaigns, callback scams, or robocall testing.
Why These Calls Appear Suspicious
When 02 7245 8378 appears on your phone marked as spam, it suggests your device's spam detection system or your service provider has flagged the number based on patterns of complaints or known spam behaviour. The fact that neither caller attempted to leave a message is notable: legitimate businesses typically leave voicemail details if they're trying to reach you about a genuine matter.
The allocation data shows 0272458378 is registered as a local service number with Symbio Networks Pty Ltd in NSW, which means it should represent a legitimate NSW-based business or service. However, numbers can be spoofed or misused, and legitimate number ranges sometimes appear in spam campaigns.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 7245 8378
If 02 7245 8378 calls you:
- Do not: Answer calls from unknown numbers, return the call, or engage if you do pick up
- Do: Let missed calls go to voicemail, block the number if it calls again, and check your phone's spam detection settings
- If you answer: Hang up immediately if the caller can't clearly explain why they're calling or if there are signs of automated dialling (silence, delayed response, background noise)
- Never: Press any numbers or menu options the caller suggests, as this confirms your number is active
Report Patterns for 0272458378
Both reports about 02 7245 8378 involve missed calls with no voicemail, a pattern consistent with callback scams or automated spam campaigns. These operations typically dial large batches of numbers hoping some recipients will return the call out of curiosity, allowing scammers to engage them in conversation or trick them into providing information.
The lack of follow-up message combined with spam detection flagging suggests the number may be part of a known problematic campaign rather than an isolated call.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I call back 02 7245 8378 to find out who it is?
No. Community reports and spam detection flags suggest 0272458378 may be involved in unwanted calling campaigns. Calling back confirms your number is active and can lead to more calls or engagement with scammers. If it's a legitimate business, they will leave a voicemail or try again through proper channels.
What does it mean when 02 7245 8378 appears marked as spam on my phone?
Your phone's spam detection system or your service provider has flagged 0272458378 as potentially problematic based on user reports or known spam patterns. While the number is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd in NSW, it may be being misused for unwanted calling campaigns. The contributor reports support this classification.
Why don't callers from 02 7245 8378 leave voicemail messages?
Callback scams and spam campaigns typically don't leave messages because their goal is to get YOU to call THEM back. By dialling large batches of numbers and not leaving details, scammers filter for curious or unsuspecting people who return the call. Legitimate businesses almost always leave a voicemail explaining why they called and how to reach them.
Is 0272458378 a real NSW business number?
02 7245 8378 is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd as a local service number in NSW, so it is a legitimate allocation. However, this doesn't guarantee the number isn't being used for unwanted purposes. Legitimate number ranges are sometimes exploited in spam and scam campaigns, or the number may have been compromised.
How many people have reported 02 7245 8378?
Two contributors have reported suspicious activity from 0272458378 to Reverseau. Both reports describe missed calls where the number was flagged as spam and no voicemail was left. While this is a small number of reports, the consistent pattern across both is notable.

Block 0272458378 on your phone immediately. Do not answer or return the call. Report the number to ACMA (acma.gov.au), the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) if it's unsolicited telemarketing, and Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) if you suspect fraud.
