Phishing Link Scam Reports for 02 7249 3370

A contributor has flagged 02 7249 3370 (also written as 0272493370) for a suspicious voicemail message in Chinese. The report indicates the caller left a voicemail that sounded like a phishing attempt, and notably, the message played twice on the recipient's phone. The use of a foreign language combined with phishing tactics suggests this could be part of a broader scam targeting Australian phone numbers.
