Telstra Impersonation Report for 02 7248 0252
One contributor has reported receiving a call from 02 7248 0252 (also written as 0272480252) where the caller claimed to represent Telstra Technical Support. The call was brief and suspicious - the caller provided no explanation for why they were calling, hung up immediately, and did not report any technical issues with the recipient's service.
This pattern is characteristic of impersonation scams where callers attempt to establish fake authority by claiming affiliation with major Australian telecommunications providers. The number is registered to Symbio Networks in New South Wales as a local service.
What the Caller from 02 7248 0252 Did
According to the report about 0272480252, the caller identified themselves as being from Telstra Technical Support. Rather than proceeding with a typical support conversation - diagnosing issues, requesting access to devices, or asking for account details - the caller hung up immediately. This abrupt disconnection without any stated purpose is a red flag that suggests the call may have been part of a reconnaissance attempt or a test call to identify active phone numbers.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would a scammer hang up immediately when calling from 02 7248 0252?
Callers testing numbers may use brief, abrupt calls to confirm a phone number is active and answered by a person. Once confirmed, the number may be sold to other scammers or used for follow-up impersonation attempts. The contributor who received the call from 02 7248 0252 experienced this pattern.
How can I verify if a call claiming to be from Telstra is legitimate?
Never trust unsolicited calls from anyone claiming to be Telstra support, including calls from 02 7248 0252. Always hang up and call Telstra directly using the number on your bill or their official website. Legitimate Telstra representatives will not pressure you or refuse to let you verify their identity independently.
What should I do if 0272480252 calls me again?
Block the number immediately using your phone's built-in blocking feature. Do not answer, do not engage with the caller, and do not return the call. Report the number to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) and ACMA (acma.gov.au) with the date and time of the call.
Can I report this number to Telstra directly?
Yes. Contact Telstra through your account or their official support channels to report that 02 7248 0252 is being used for impersonation scams. Telstra takes impersonation seriously and may investigate the number further. You should also report to 0272480252 on Reverseau to warn other Australians.
Is 02 7248 0252 actually a Telstra number?
No. The number 02 7248 0252 is registered to Symbio Networks in New South Wales, not Telstra. Scammers often spoof or use unrelated phone numbers while claiming to represent major companies. Never assume a caller's identity based on their phone number alone.

Both formats refer to the same phone number: 02 7248 0252 is the standard Australian display format with spaces and area code in parentheses, while 0272480252 is the numeric-only format.
