Robocall and Impersonation Reports for 02 7248 2714

Two contributors have flagged calls from 02 7248 2714 (also written as 0272482714) for suspicious behaviour combining automated prompts and false caller identity claims. The reports indicate a pattern of deceptive calling tactics designed to either route calls based on language preference or misrepresent the caller's organisation.

Both incidents involving 0272482714 occurred within hours of each other in early February, suggesting coordinated or sequential calling activity. The number is allocated to a local service provider in NSW, though the suspicious nature of the calls raises questions about legitimate use.

What Callers from 02 7248 2714 Say

One contributor reported receiving an automated prompt from 02 7248 2714 that instructed callers to press 1 for English or 2 for Chinese. The contributor noted the message sounded suspicious, suggesting the robocall format itself triggered concern rather than just the language routing request.

A second call from the same number presented a different approach. The caller claimed affiliation with Telstra, but the contributor felt something was off about the interaction. This impersonation attempt follows a common scam pattern where fraudsters claim representation from major telecommunications providers to access personal or account information.

Report Patterns and Timing

Both reports of 02 7248 2714 came in on the same date within a two-hour window, suggesting the number may have been actively used for multiple suspicious calls during that period. One report came via an answered call, indicating the contributor picked up rather than the call going to voicemail. The other also resulted in direct conversation, meaning both callers were able to connect with contributors rather than leaving voicemails.

The combination of robocall technology (automated language selection prompt) followed by impersonation (Telstra claim) on the same number suggests potential use by the same threat actor testing multiple angles to gain contributor engagement or extract information.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 7248 2714

If 02 7248 2714 calls you:

• Do not: Press any numbers in response to automated prompts, engage with the caller if they claim to represent Telstra or other providers, or confirm any personal information
• Do: Hang up immediately, block the number on your device, and independently verify any claimed affiliation by contacting the organisation directly using a number from their official website
• If claiming to be Telstra: Hang up and call Telstra directly on 133 200 using a phone number you know is legitimate. Never use a number provided by the caller.
