Understanding Spoofed Numbers
Scammers using 02 7264 2839 and related numbers in that series are employing a spoofing technique. This means they're masking their actual caller ID to display a different number, often one that appears local or familiar. The 02 area code suggests a Sydney-based number, which may increase the chance a recipient will answer thinking it's a local contact.
When you see repeated calls from slightly different numbers in the same series, such as calls from 02 7264 2839, 02 7264 2840, or similar variations, this indicates an automated dialling system cycling through sequential numbers. This is a hallmark of scam operations using spoofing services.
How to Report 02 7264 2839
If you're receiving persistent calls from 02 7264 2839 or the 02 7264 series:
- Report the number to the Australian Communications and Media Authority at acma.gov.au
- Lodge a complaint with Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au, providing details of the call timing and frequency
- If calls continue despite blocking, take screenshots of your call log showing the repeated contact pattern
- Report the spoofed number on Reverseau to help other Australians identify this scam activity
- Consider adding your number to the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au, though this may not stop determined scammers

Fourth call today from a LOSER RAT SCAMMER using spoofed numbers from series 02 7264#### series.
Only too happy to report this person that has failed in life and spends their days calling numbers hoping to find someone to steal from.
I know they read these reviews because the calls ramp up everytime I post replies using this service.
May the curse I have summoned against the grub and their piss ant bloodline cause them karma and lifelong suffering.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why am I receiving multiple calls from 02 7264 2839 in a short timeframe?
Repeated calls from 02 7264 2839 within hours or a single day indicate an automated dialling campaign. Scammers use systems that dial numbers sequentially and persistently, cycling through the 02 7264 series to reach as many people as possible. Each call represents another attempt to find someone willing to engage.
Are all calls from 02 7264 2839 from the same scammer?
While the reported calls from 02 7264 2839 appear to come from the same spoofing operation based on the timing and series pattern, the actual caller location is masked. Multiple calls in the 02 7264 series in quick succession suggest an automated system rather than individual manual dialling.
Should I answer a call from 02 7264 2839 to tell them to stop?
No. Do not answer calls from 02 7264 2839 or engage with the caller. Answering confirms your number is active, which may lead to even more calls. Scammers don't respect requests to stop, and engaging only provides information they can use.
How do I block the entire 02 7264 series to stop calls from 02 7264 2839?
Most modern phones allow you to block contact ranges. Check your phone's settings under 'Call Blocking' or 'Do Not Disturb'. You can often block numbers starting with 02 7264, though this requires manual configuration. Alternatively, use a third-party call-blocking app that supports range blocking for numbers like 0272642839.
What should I do if I already answered a call from 02 7264 2839?
If you've already spoken to someone from 02 7264 2839, do not share any further information. If you provided personal details, bank information, or passwords, contact your bank immediately and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Report the call to Scamwatch and ACMA right away.
Is 02 7264 2839 actually a real Sydney number?
The 02 area code and the format of 0272642839 match Australian Sydney numbering, but scammers are spoofing this number. The actual source of the calls is hidden behind spoofing services. This is why the number appears legitimate while the calls are clearly scam activity.
