Personal Information Request Reports for 02 7248 0625

Two contributors have reported receiving calls from 02 7248 0625 (also written as 0272480625) involving attempts to extract personal information through deception. One caller claimed affiliation with VISA and Mastercard in an unsolicited call, while another report described a direct attempt to trick the recipient into revealing details. Both reports indicate coordinated social engineering rather than accidental contact.

The allocation data shows 02 7248 0625 is registered as a local service number in New South Wales through Symbio Networks Pty Ltd, which makes the impersonation tactics particularly concerning as callers exploit the legitimacy of a local number to establish false credibility.

What Callers from 02 7248 0625 Claim

Contributors report that callers from 02 7248 0625 have claimed to represent VISA and Mastercard, presenting these well-known payment networks as justification for requesting sensitive information. One contributor noted the caller was "unsolicited" and explicitly described the interaction as fishing for details. The second report characterised the caller's approach as attempting to "trick" the recipient, suggesting the caller used social engineering tactics designed to manipulate rather than straightforward requests.

Neither contributor reported the specific information being sought, but the pattern of impersonating major financial institutions combined with unsolicited contact indicates the caller likely targeted banking credentials, card details, or other financial information.

Report Patterns and Timing

Both reports came through answered calls rather than voicemails, meaning contributors directly engaged with the callers before recognising the scam. The first report was logged on 10 February 2026 at 10:03 UTC, followed closely by the second at 09:14 UTC on the same day, suggesting potential coordinated calling activity within a short timeframe or multiple contributors targeted during the same campaign.

The NSW location and local service allocation may be exploited deliberately to increase answer rates, as recipients are more likely to pick up calls from numbers appearing to be local to their region.
