The number 0272525028 is allocated to Symbio Networks in NSW as a local service line, but the report indicates it has been used for scam purposes.

Contact your bank or payment service immediately to report the fraud and attempt to recover the funds. Report the incident to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au), ACMA (acma.gov.au), and local police. Document the date, time, and any details you remember about the call from 0272525028 for your report.

Scammers may spoof or hijack legitimate phone numbers, or use them during periods when they're not actively in use by the provider.

If you report the number to ACMA (acma.gov.au), they can investigate whether the number was compromised or spoofed.
