Repeated Calls from 02 7249 3100 and Similar Numbers
A single contributor has reported receiving multiple calls from 02 7249 3100 (also written as 0272493100) along with calls from very similar numbers. The contributor chose not to answer these calls, suggesting concern about the calling pattern itself rather than a specific scam or sales pitch.
The pattern of calls from 02 7249 3100 and near-identical variations is consistent with number spoofing tactics, where callers mask their origin by using similar digits to legitimate or familiar numbers. This makes it difficult to block all variations effectively.
Call Pattern for 02 7249 3100

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why am I getting calls from 02 7249 3100 and similar numbers at the same time?
Callers using spoofing tactics often generate slight variations of a base number (like 02 7249 3100 becoming 02 7249 3101 or 02 7249 3102) to evade blocking. When you block one variation of 0272493100, the next call comes from a marginally different number. This makes the calling campaign harder to stop entirely.
Should I answer calls from 02 7249 3100 to find out what they want?
No. The contributor who reported 02 7249 3100 deliberately did not answer, which is the safest approach. Answering confirms your number is active and monitored, often leading to more frequent calls. Let 0272493100 go to voicemail and check only if a legitimate message is left.
How do I block 02 7249 3100 and similar numbers on my phone?
On iPhone, use the Silence Unknown Callers feature (Settings > Phone) to block calls from numbers not in your contacts. On Android, use the Call Filter or Spam Protection settings. You can also manually block 02 7249 3100 and 0272493100 variants individually, but silencing all unknowns is more effective against number spoofing.
Is 02 7249 3100 a scam number?
The single report about 0272493100 does not specify a scam, spam, or telemarketing purpose. The contributor noted only that calls from 02 7249 3100 and very similar numbers were unwanted and unanswered. Without more detailed reports, the specific intent remains unclear.
What information should I provide if I report 02 7249 3100?
When reporting 02 7249 3100 (0272493100) to ACMA or Scamwatch, include the date and time of calls, whether you answered, any variations of the number that called you, and any details about what the caller said if you have that information. This helps authorities identify coordinated calling patterns.
Should I contact Reverseau if I get calls from 02 7249 3100?
Yes. If you receive calls from 02 7249 3100 or 0272493100, reporting your experience to Reverseau helps build a community picture of this calling pattern. Even if you don't know the caller's intent, data about repeated attempts, timing, and number variations is valuable for other Australians trying to identify unknown callers.
