Impersonation SMS Reports for 02 7247 6713
Two contributors have flagged activity linked to 02 7247 6713 (also written as 0272476713), with one report specifically describing SMS impersonation tactics. A contributor received automated SMS messages from multiple numbers, each claiming an issue with their mobile account. The messages were identified as false, suggesting a coordinated impersonation attempt rather than legitimate service alerts.
The use of multiple sender numbers to deliver the same false message is a common technique used in SMS scams to evade filtering and increase the likelihood of recipient engagement. This pattern indicates the caller or organisation behind 02 7247 6713 may be using automated systems to distribute fraudulent messages at scale.
What Callers from 02 7247 6713 Say
According to the SMS report, the automated messages from this number and associated accounts claimed there was an issue requiring immediate action on the recipient's mobile account. The contributor confirmed these claims were entirely false, indicating the messages were designed to prompt urgency and encourage a callback or click-through.
A second report mentioned a missed call from 02 7247 6713, after which the contributor attempted to return the call. The answering machine response was described as creepy, with no company name or identification provided. The lack of proper business identification on the voicemail is consistent with impersonation or masking tactics, where legitimate contact details are deliberately obscured.
Report Patterns and Timing
Both reports were received within a three-day window in late November 2025, suggesting either a concentrated campaign or ongoing activity from this number. The SMS impersonation was reported first on 28 November, followed by the missed call report on 25 November, indicating contributors may have received multiple contact attempts through different channels.
The mix of SMS and missed call activity, combined with the evasive voicemail message, suggests a multi-channel impersonation operation rather than a single misdirected call. Contributors receiving messages from 02 7247 6713 should be aware that the sender may also attempt phone contact using similar false pretences.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does the impersonation on 02 7247 6713 involve?
One contributor reported receiving automated SMS messages from 02 7247 6713 and multiple other numbers, all claiming there was a problem with their mobile account. The contributor confirmed these messages were false. This is a common impersonation tactic designed to create urgency and trick people into responding or revealing personal details. Always verify account issues by contacting your provider directly using official contact details, not numbers provided in unsolicited messages.
Why does 02 7247 6713 use multiple numbers for the same message?
Using multiple sender numbers to deliver identical impersonation messages is a deliberate strategy to increase the chances of bypassing spam filters and reaching more recipients. When a contributor receives similar false messages from 0272476713 and other numbers simultaneously, it suggests a coordinated campaign rather than a mistake. This technique is commonly used in large-scale SMS scams.
What should I do if I already responded to a message from 02 7247 6713?
If you've replied to an SMS from 02 7247 6713 or called back the number, monitor your accounts closely for unauthorised activity. Change your passwords for banking and email accounts, particularly if you shared any personal details. Contact your mobile provider directly using the official number on your bill to report the impersonation attempt and ask them to flag your account. You can also report the activity to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and ACMA at acma.gov.au.
Is 02 7247 6713 actually my mobile provider?
No. According to community reports, 02 7247 6713 is not a legitimate mobile provider contact number. The number is allocated to Symbio Networks in NSW as a local service line, but the impersonation reports show it is being used fraudulently to masquerade as a mobile provider. Never trust unsolicited messages claiming account issues - always initiate contact with your provider yourself using details from your official bill or their publicly listed number.
Why was the voicemail from 02 7247 6713 described as creepy?
A contributor who called back 0272476713 heard an answering machine with no company name or proper identification - just a message they found unsettling. Legitimate businesses always clearly identify themselves on voicemail. The lack of identification is a red flag for impersonation or masking tactics. If a voicemail doesn't identify the company and sounds suspicious, avoid leaving a callback message and simply block the number.
How can I report 02 7247 6713 to authorities?
Report 0272476713 through multiple Australian channels: forward SMS spam to 0429 999 888 (ACMA), file a scam report at scamwatch.gov.au, and report to ACMA directly at acma.gov.au. If you believe your personal information has been compromised, also report to ReportCyber at cyber.gov.au.
