WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 02 7245 9132 ask me to press 1 for English if it's a scam?
Pressing a key confirms your phone number is active and monitored by a person (or triggers recording for targeting). Scammers use this tactic to identify valid numbers for further contact, sales targeting, or social engineering attempts. Robocalls from 0272459132 that prompt key presses are designed to harvest responsive numbers.
Should I be concerned if 02 7245 9132 called my child?
Yes. One contributor reported that someone from 02 7245 9132 called their 12-year-old daughter. When confronted, the caller laughed and hung up. This behaviour is predatory. Ensure your children know not to engage with unknown callers, and consider enabling parental controls. Report this number to ACMA and your phone provider.
Is 0272459132 a real phone number from Symbio Networks?
The number 02 7245 9132 is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd in NSW as a local-service number, but this allocation does not mean Symbio is behind the calls. The number is almost certainly being spoofed by scammers, a technique called number spoofing where fraudsters fake caller ID to appear legitimate. Report it to ACMA.
What should I do if my phone security flagged 02 7245 9132 as dangerous?
Trust your phone's security system. If your device flagged 0272459132, block the number immediately and add it to your spam list. Contribute to Reverseau to report your flagged call experience. This helps other users understand why the call was dangerous.
Could the call from 02 7245 9132 be legitimate if it mentions my phone service?
No. Your actual phone service provider (in this case, Symbio Networks Pty Ltd) will never call you claiming your service will be cut off and asking you to press keys. Real providers contact you via official channels (email, SMS from known numbers, or their app). If you're concerned about your service, contact Symbio directly using the phone number on your bill.
What's the difference between a robocall and a regular scam call from 02 7245 9132?
A robocall from 0272459132 is automated-a recorded message with no person initially listening. Regular scam calls connect you to a person. Robocalls are illegal in Australia without consent and are often used for mass fraud campaigns. ACMA has specific powers to investigate and stop robocalls from numbers like 02 7245 9132.
