WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is a robocall and why is 02 7249 5253 making them?
A robocall is an automated phone call using recorded or synthesised speech. The caller from 02 7249 5253 (0272495253) does not require a live operator to dial you. Robocalls are commonly used for spam, scams, or unwanted marketing because they allow callers to reach many people at once with minimal cost. The two reports of 0272495253 suggest this number is part of a robocalling campaign.
Is 02 7249 5253 a scam?
Based on current reports, 02 7249 5253 appears to be a robocall, but not enough information is available to definitively classify it as a scam. One contributor flagged it as suspicious because of the urgent tone and lack of clear identification, while the other simply noted it as annoying. If 0272495253 later calls and makes specific false claims or requests money, it would qualify as a scam. Report any such experience to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Why did the robocall from 02 7249 5253 say it was important?
One contributor who received a call from 0272495253 reported an automated message claiming to be important. This is a common robocall tactic designed to create urgency and pressure you into staying on the line or responding to prompts. Legitimate organisations (banks, government agencies) do not contact you via robocall claiming importance without first clearly identifying themselves. Do not engage with urgent-sounding robocalls from 02 7249 5253 or similar numbers.
What should I do if 02 7249 5253 keeps calling me?
If you receive repeated calls from 02 7249 5253 (0272495253), block the number on your phone immediately. You can also register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au, though robocalls may not be fully covered.

Can I call 02 7249 5253 back to ask them to stop?

Is 02 7249 5253 a legitimate business number?
