Community report for 02 9307 2100 (0293072100): Caller impersonated Bunnings but number appears spoofed, not genuine Sydney-area contact.
Bunnings Impersonation Report for 02 9307 2100
One contributor has reported receiving a call from 02 9307 2100 (also written as 0293072100) where the caller claimed to be from Bunnings. However, the contributor suspects the call was spoofed and not genuinely originating from Bunnings' Sydney-area operations, particularly as they had not placed any online orders that would warrant such contact.
The call to 0293072100 displayed as coming from Bunnings, but this type of caller ID spoofing is a common impersonation tactic used by scammers to appear legitimate and increase the likelihood that recipients will answer and engage.
What the Caller Claimed
The contributor received a call where the person on the line represented themselves as being from Bunnings. Given that the recipient had not made any recent online purchases through Bunnings, the call appeared suspicious and prompted them to question whether it was genuinely from the retailer or a spoofed attempt to gain their attention and trust.
Why This Call Appears Suspicious
Several factors raised red flags for the contributor who received the 02 9307 2100 call. The most significant was that no online order from Bunnings was pending or expected. Additionally, genuine Bunnings customer service calls typically originate from known Bunnings contact numbers rather than local Sydney numbers like 0293072100. The contributor's instinct that the call was spoofed aligns with common impersonation patterns where scammers manipulate caller ID to display a trusted business name.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 9307 2100 really Bunnings calling me?
Probably not. One contributor reported that 0293072100 displayed as Bunnings but was likely spoofed caller ID. Genuine Bunnings customer service calls come from official Bunnings numbers. If you're unsure, hang up and call Bunnings directly using the number on your receipt or their website to verify.
What is caller ID spoofing?
Caller ID spoofing is when someone manipulates the phone system to make 02 9307 2100 (or any number) display a trusted business name like Bunnings on your phone. This tricks you into answering and trusting the caller. The actual call may come from anywhere in the world.
I didn't order from Bunnings but got a call from 0293072100. What should I do?
Hang up immediately. If 02 9307 2100 calls claiming to be from Bunnings about an order you didn't place, it's a red flag for impersonation. Do not provide any information. Block the number and report it to ACMA and Scamwatch.
Can I trust the caller ID if it shows a business name?
No. Caller ID can be spoofed to display any business name, including Bunnings. Never rely on caller ID alone to verify legitimacy. Always hang up, independently look up the official number, and call them back to confirm.
What information should I never give to callers from 02 9307 2100?
Never share your full name, address, date of birth, bank account details, credit card information, driver's license number, order confirmation codes, or any verification codes sent via SMS. Scammers impersonating businesses often ask for this data to commit fraud.
Where do I report this call for impersonation?
You can report calls from 0293072100 to ACMA (acma.gov.au) for caller ID spoofing, Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) for the impersonation attempt, and to Bunnings directly so they're aware of misuse of their name. Contributing to Reverseau also helps other Australians stay alert.
