Robocall Reports for 02 8073 6115
A contributor has reported receiving an automated robocall from 02 8073 6115 (also written as 0280736115). The call featured a brief recorded message offering language selection between English and Chinese, which the contributor found confusing and suspicious. This type of indiscriminate language-switching robocall typically indicates the caller has obtained phone numbers from a broad database rather than targeting specific individuals.
The number is allocated as a local service in NSW through Symbio Networks Pty Ltd, which lends the appearance of legitimacy but does not guarantee the caller's actual identity or intentions. Automated systems making unsolicited calls in this manner often precede follow-up contact attempts or are used to identify active phone numbers for later targeting.

What does the robocall from 02 8073 6115 say?
The contributor reported a brief automated message offering language selection in English or Chinese. The call did not identify who was making it or provide any specific purpose, which is typical of indiscriminate robocalls designed to test if the number is actively monitored.
Should I press a button to select a language when 0280736115 calls?
No. Do not press any buttons or engage with the robocall from 0280736115. Responding to the prompt confirms your number is active and monitored, which may increase call frequency. The safest approach is to hang up immediately.
Is 02 8073 6115 a legitimate business number?
The number is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd as a local service in NSW, but allocation does not confirm legitimacy. The automated robocall offering vague language selection without identifying the caller or purpose is a common tactic used by scammers and spam operators to mask their true identity.
Why would a robocall offer English or Chinese language options?
Robocalls using generic language selection are typically bulk-dialled to wide databases of phone numbers. The approach allows a single robocall system to reach diverse populations without prior knowledge of individual preferences, suggesting the caller is running an indiscriminate campaign rather than targeting specific communities.

Yes. Most modern phones have built-in call-blocking features accessible through your phone settings or contacts app. You can also contact your phone provider to request blocking at the network level for 02 8073 6115.
