Suspicious Voicemail for 02 7254 4357
A single contributor has reported receiving a voicemail from 02 7254 4357 (also written as 0272544357) that raised immediate red flags. The caller left a message entirely in Chinese, and the contributor noted the overall tone and context felt suspicious or potentially malicious.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I call back 02 7254 4357 to find out who it was?
No. Do not call back 0272544357. Unknown or suspicious numbers may be using voicemail tactics to get you to ring back, which can result in premium charges, identity theft, or further harassment. Instead, block the number and report it to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) or ACMA (acma.gov.au).
Why would someone leave a voicemail in Chinese from 02 7254 4357?
There are legitimate reasons (family, friends overseas, multilingual businesses) and malicious ones. The contributor who reported 0272544357 described the tone as dodgy, suggesting it felt threatening or out of place. If you receive a similar message and it seems suspicious, trust your instinct and block the number rather than engaging.
Is 02 7254 4357 definitely a scam number?
Not necessarily. We have only one report for 0272544357, and the contributor flagged it as suspicious without confirming whether it was a scam, spam, or misdial. A local NSW service from Symbio Networks could be legitimate. If it calls again and you can verify the caller's identity through official channels, you may determine it's genuine. When in doubt, block and report.
What should I do if I understand the language in the voicemail from 02 7254 4357?
If you understand the message left by 0272544357, listen carefully for specific details: organisation name, reason for the call, and any claims or demands. Do not provide any personal or financial information. Independently verify the caller's identity by contacting the claimed organisation directly using their official phone number from their website, never using a number provided in the voicemail.
Can I block 02 7254 4357 on my phone?
Yes. Most modern smartphones allow you to block numbers directly. On iPhone, go to Recents, find 0272544357, tap the info icon, and select Block This Caller. On Android, open the Phone app, find the number, tap the menu, and select Block. Blocking will prevent calls and voicemails from 02 7254 4357 from reaching you.
Should I report this number to the Do Not Call Register?
The Do Not Call Register is for telemarketing calls. The voicemail from 02 7254 4357 (0272544357) appears suspicious rather than a typical marketing call, so Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) or ACMA (acma.gov.au) are more appropriate places to report it. These agencies investigate potentially fraudulent or harmful calls.
