Impersonation and Robocall Reports for 02 8530 7097

Seven contributors have reported suspicious activity from 02 8530 7097 (also written as 0285307097), with two distinct patterns emerging. The first involves impersonation scams, where callers claim to represent legitimate Australian businesses. One contributor received a call from someone claiming to be from Bloomex flower delivery, while another reported a caller impersonating Telstra - despite the contributor not being a Telstra customer. The second pattern involves robocall activity, where callers use automated systems to connect to live telemarketing agents.

This NSW-based local service number allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd has attracted mixed uncertainty as well, with some contributors unsure of the caller's intent after receiving hang-ups or missed calls with no voicemail.

What Callers from 02 8530 7097 Say

When callers from 0285307097 do engage, they use specific impersonation tactics. The Bloomex impersonator claimed to represent the flower delivery service, while the Telstra impersonator attempted to contact someone who wasn't even a customer of that provider - a clear indicator of mass-dialling scam activity.

Contributors who waited on the line during robocall attempts from 02 8530 7097 reported hearing three beeps before being transferred to a live agent. One contributor who called back and reached the telemarketing agent heard a pitch about solar products. When challenged or after hanging up, the caller from 0285307097 either disconnected or simply hung up without explanation.

Call Patterns and Timing

The calls from 02 8530 7097 show multiple contact attempts within short timeframes. One contributor noted receiving two calls on the same day with no voicemail left, suggesting either random dialling or list-based targeting. Another reported that after answering, the line went dead when they picked up - a common robocall pattern where automated systems drop calls that connect to voicemail detection systems.

The mix of impersonation attempts and robocall behaviour suggests this number may be used by multiple actors or campaigns rather than a single operation. The fact that callers hung up when questioned or when callbacks were attempted indicates they're not confident in their pitch or are simply cycling through numbers.
