WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would scammers leave a voicemail from 02 7249 3149 instead of speaking directly?
Voicemail creates urgency without live conversation where you might ask questions or hang up. Scammers using 02 7249 3149 rely on recipients calling back without verifying the number first. When you call back 0272493149, the automated message prevents real dialogue - the scammer avoids being questioned about inconsistencies in their story.
What happens if I call back 02 7249 3149?
Calling back 0272493149 connects to an automated "not available" message, as reported by a contributor. This wastes your time and potentially costs money if charges apply. The scammer's goal is simply to trigger a callback, confirming your number is active for future targeting.
Could 02 7249 3149 be a real Amazon number?
No. Amazon customer care does not initiate contact via unsolicited voicemails requesting callbacks. Real Amazon support contacts you about verified account issues through your registered email or phone, and you can always verify by calling Amazon's official support line from your account settings. The voicemail from 0272493149 claiming to be Amazon customer care is fraudulent.
What should I do if I already called back 02 7249 3149?
If you called 0272493149 but did not provide any personal information, you are safe - block the number immediately. If you shared account details, password, or payment information during any callback interaction, contact Amazon directly, change your password, and monitor your account for unauthorized activity.
Is 02 7249 3149 being used for other types of scams?
The reported activity about 0272493149 specifically involves Amazon Prime impersonation. However, scam numbers are sometimes repurposed for multiple fraud types. If you receive different claims from 02 7249 3149 in the future, report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au and contribute to Reverseau to alert other Australians.
How can I verify a call claiming to be from Amazon without calling back 02 7249 3149?
Never use contact details provided in unexpected calls or voicemails from 0272493149. Instead, open the official Amazon app or website, go to Account Settings, and find the verified customer service number. Call that number directly to confirm whether Amazon has any open issues with your account. This ensures you're contacting legitimate Amazon support, not a scammer.
