Suspicious Call Reports for 02 9250 0112
Two contributors have reported receiving calls from 02 9250 0112 (also written as 0292500112), a Telstra local service number based in NSW. Both reports flag the calls as suspicious or concerning, with contributors noting unusual behaviour that raised red flags.
The most recent report about 0292500112 involved a contributor who attempted to call the number back - only to find it was disconnected. This discovery led them to conclude the call was likely a scam. The earlier report described a similar pattern: an unexpected call with no voicemail left behind, combined with an overall sense that something wasn't right about the contact.
What Triggered These Reports
The two reports about 02 9250 0112 highlight a common warning sign in phone scams: the inability to verify the caller. When a contributor tried to return the call to 0292500112, the disconnected status suggested the number may have been spoofed or temporarily provisioned for fraudulent purposes. Spoofing allows scammers to mask their real identity by displaying a local Australian number on caller ID.
The lack of voicemail from the earlier call to 02 9250 0112 is also noteworthy. Legitimate callers typically leave a message explaining the reason for contact, especially on a missed call. The absence of any recorded message, combined with the general unease the contributor felt, suggests this may have been part of a probing call where scammers test whether a number is active and how the recipient responds.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 9250 0112
If 02 9250 0112 calls you:

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do if 02 9250 0112 left no voicemail?
No voicemail is a common warning sign. Legitimate callers almost always leave a message on a missed call. If 02 9250 0112 calls again, let it go to voicemail. If multiple calls occur with no message, block 0292500112 immediately and report it to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Why was the call from 0292500112 disconnected when I tried calling back?
This is a strong indicator of spoofing. Scammers often use temporary or fake numbers that appear legitimate on caller ID but are disconnected or invalid when called back. Never call back a suspicious number like 02 9250 0112 directly - instead, verify the caller through official channels or an official website.
Is 02 9250 0112 really a Telstra number?
The number is allocated as a Telstra local service in NSW, but this doesn't guarantee legitimacy. Scammers routinely spoof legitimate provider numbers. If you're concerned about a Telstra account, call Telstra directly using the number on your bill or their official website, not using 0292500112.
How can I tell if a call from 02 9250 0112 is genuine?
Legitimate companies never pressure you on the first call or ask for sensitive information immediately. If 02 9250 0112 calls claiming to be from your bank, the ATO, or NBN, hang up and call those organisations directly using official numbers. Two community reports have flagged 0292500112 as suspicious, so exercise caution.
Should I block 02 9250 0112?
Yes. Based on community reports, 0292500112 has exhibited suspicious behaviour including disconnected callbacks and no voicemail. Blocking the number prevents further contact attempts. You can block 02 9250 0112 in your phone's settings or through your carrier.
Where can I report this number?
Report 02 9250 0112 to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au), the ACMA (acma.gov.au), or contribute your experience directly on Reverseau. These reports help build a community record for 0292500112 and alert other Australians about suspicious activity.
