In addition to the impersonation attempt, 0285517097 has been flagged for robocall activity, with a contributor reporting an automated Christmas-themed voicemail message left on their phone. The combination of impersonation tactics and robocall campaigns suggests this number may be part of a coordinated effort to target Australians through multiple deceptive methods.

What Callers from 02 8551 7097 Claim

The impersonation report indicates the caller claimed direct affiliation with Bloomex and demonstrated knowledge of the recipient's purchase history, suggesting the scammer may have accessed or sourced customer data. This level of personal detail is designed to build false credibility and lower the recipient's guard before attempting fraud.

The robocall voicemail from 02 8551 7097 used seasonal messaging (Christmas-themed content) to appear legitimate and encourage callback or engagement. Generic spam calls from this number have also been reported, with contributors noting unsolicited sales pitches for unwanted products or services.

Report Patterns and Timing

The earliest report dates to late November 2025, with activity continuing into early December. The robocall message was delivered via voicemail on 2 December, while the impersonation call came in on 11 December. One contributor received a missed call on 12 December with no message left, followed by an answered spam call attempting to sell unspecified items.

Contributors received calls across different channels including missed calls, answered calls, and voicemail messages, indicating the number is being used for multiple contact attempts. The variety of tactics (impersonation, robocalling, generic spam) suggests this may be a compromised or spoofed number rather than a single scammer's operation.
