Scam and Nuisance Reports for 02 9099 7937

Two contributors have flagged 02 9099 7937 (also written as 0290997937) with one reporting scam activity and another noting persistent nuisance calls. The number is allocated as a local service in NSW through Symbio Networks Pty Ltd, but community reports suggest the allocation does not guarantee legitimacy.

One contributor marked 0290997937 as a scammer number and blocked it immediately after answering. The second contributor reports a pattern of repeated calls from this number and similar ones, describing them as constantly ringing and genuinely annoying despite multiple blocks.

Caller Behaviour and Patterns

Contributors report that 02 9099 7937 does not stop calling even after being blocked repeatedly. One contributor noted the frequency over approximately a month period, with calls continuing to come through despite active blocking measures. This persistent pattern is characteristic of either automated dialling systems or callers who deliberately change how the number appears to bypass block lists.

The fact that similar numbers are also calling the same contributor suggests this may be part of a coordinated campaign using multiple lines rather than isolated calls from a single phone number.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 9099 7937

If 0290997937 calls you:

• Do not: Answer if you don't recognise the number, engage with the caller, or provide any personal or financial information
• Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately in your phone settings, and consider blocking similar numbers if they follow the same pattern
• If it continues: After blocking, calls that still get through may indicate the caller is spoofing the number or using different lines - report each attempt to ACMA
