02 7248 2500 - 0272482500: Robocall Survey Spam

• Spam

One contributor reports 02 7248 2500 (0272482500) as a robocall claiming to be from a television survey company, falsely stating immunity from Do Not Call regulations.

Robocall Survey Spam from 02 7248 2500

A single contributor has reported receiving a call from 02 7248 2500 (also written as 0272482500) that exhibited typical robocall characteristics. The caller claimed affiliation with a television survey organisation and made a specific assertion that their survey outfit operates outside Do Not Call Register protections because they select numbers randomly.

The contributor answered the call from 02 7248 2500 and identified it as a recorded message rather than a live operator, consistent with automated survey distribution systems. The claim about Do Not Call exemptions is a common tactic used to discourage people from hanging up or reporting the number.

What the Caller from 02 7248 2500 Claimed

The robocall from 02 7248 2500 stated that the contributor's number was randomly selected for a television survey. More notably, the recorded message asserted that because the selection was random rather than targeted, the caller operates outside Do Not Call Register requirements. This statement is misleading - survey organisations conducting commercial research are generally bound by Do Not Call rules unless they have existing relationships with the recipient.

The use of a recorded message rather than live operator suggests this is part of a larger automated campaign, with 0272482500 being one of multiple numbers used for distribution.

Report Details and Timing

The report about 02 7248 2500 was received in April 2026. The contributor answered the call, which helped identify it as robocall spam rather than a silent or callback scam. The number is allocated as a local service on Symbio Networks in NSW, though this allocation does not indicate legitimacy - many spam operations use legitimate service provider numbers.
