Delivery Scam Reports for 02 9644 1851

Community reports for 02 9644 1851 (also written as 0296441851) reveal a mixed picture of activity spanning legitimate logistics notifications and potential delivery-related scams. Five reports have been submitted, with two contributors confirming legitimate use by 4PX Global Express, a major logistics provider, whilst three others flag suspicious or fraudulent parcel-related activity associated with this number.

The number 0296441851 appears to operate from a Regents Park, NSW warehouse address (G2/391 Park Road, NSW 2143), which independent parcel tracking services ParcelsApp and OrderTracker can verify as legitimate 4PX infrastructure. However, reports also describe the number being used in potential scam contexts, including calls about non-existent purchases and contact details for fraudulent online sellers.

What Callers from 02 9644 1851 Say

Legitimate notifications from 02 9644 1851 come in the form of SMS shipping notices for online purchases. One contributor received an advance shipping notification with tracking information that verified correctly on multiple independent parcel tracking platforms, confirming the sender as Team Global Express (teamglobalexp), the Australian operation associated with 4PX.

However, suspicious reports describe different usage patterns. One caller from 0296441851 contacted a recipient asking about a parcel, mentioning something supposedly purchased online that the recipient had not ordered. Another report noted the number appearing as a seller's contact detail in a consignment email without prior communication or transaction history. A third contributor reported being contacted by someone claiming to represent an eBay seller after purchasing a $1,200 item that never arrived, with the seller contact repeatedly producing service difficulty messages instead of engagement.

Report Patterns and Timing

The reports span two years, with the most recent legitimate shipping notifications arriving in November 2025, whilst suspicious and scam reports are older (September 2023 to October 2024). This temporal gap suggests either a change in how the number is used, or that the 4PX warehouse address association is genuine whilst the number has also been exploited by scammers.

Two reports came via SMS notification (both verified as legitimate 4PX shipping notices), two via direct calls claiming parcel-related reasons, and one describing email contact from a fraudulent seller. The suspicious call in October 2024 came during evening hours (21:55), which is atypical for standard logistics notifications and raised the contributor's concern.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 9644 1851

If 02 9644 1851 calls you:

  • Do not: Confirm any purchase details, agree to make payments, or provide personal information if you don't recognise the transaction being referenced
  • Do: Hang up and verify the parcel independently using your own account on the retailer's website or by contacting their official customer service number
  • Do: Check tracking independently using major parcel tracking services like ParcelsApp or your retailer's tracking portal before responding to the caller
  • Do: Block the number if it calls repeatedly about purchases you didn't make or can't verify

If the caller claims to represent an online seller or marketplace, do not provide payment details or personal information. Instead, contact the marketplace (eBay, Amazon, etc.) directly via their official website to query the transaction and seller status.

What to Do If You Receive an SMS from 02 9644 1851

If you receive an SMS from 0296441851 claiming to be a shipping notification:

  • Do not: Click links in the SMS without first verifying your order independently
  • Do: Log into your retailer account directly (using a browser bookmark or typing the official URL) and check your orders and tracking information
  • Do: Cross-reference the tracking number provided in the SMS with independent parcel tracking services like ParcelsApp or OrderTracker
  • Do: Report SMS messages claiming to be from unknown sellers or parcel services as spam to your provider and forward suspicious messages to 0429 999 888

Legitimate 4PX shipping notifications will include verifiable tracking numbers and the sender will typically be listed as Team Global Express or 4PX with the Regents Park warehouse address. If a tracking number does not appear in independent tracking services, the notification is likely fraudulent.

I just received an Advance shipping notice for an order I made from a website, not eBay, and in that notice the Sender details had this phone number.

The notice also had an address: G2/391 Park Road, Regents Park, NSW 2143.

Looking that address up returns a warehouse fulfilment space owned by 4PX Global Express Service and used by multiple businesses including the official AU warhouse of the website I purchased from.4PX is a company in China used by over 20,000 merchants worldwide. Two independent parcel trackers, ParcelsApp and OrderTracker, were able to look up the tracking number in my notice showing the delivery progress of my order by 4PX.

FWIW, the notice I received was by Team Global Express (teamglobalexp), not 4PX.

What should I do if 02 9644 1851 calls about a parcel I don't recognise?

Do not confirm any details or provide personal information. Hang up and log into your online retailer account directly to check your order history. If you haven't made the purchase being referenced by 0296441851, it's likely a scam. You can verify legitimate 4PX shipments using ParcelsApp or OrderTracker with the tracking number provided, but do not click links from the caller or SMS.

Can I trust SMS shipping notifications from 0296441851?

SMS from 02 9644 1851 claiming to be shipping notifications may be legitimate if they include a tracking number that verifies on independent parcel tracking platforms and match an order you actually placed. However, contributors have also reported suspicious SMS from this number. Always verify independently by logging into your retailer account directly (not via links in the SMS) and checking your order status before trusting the notification.

I bought something online and the seller's contact is 02 9644 1851 - is this safe?

One contributor reported receiving a consignment email from an unknown seller listing 0296441851 as their contact without any prior transaction. This is a red flag. Legitimate sellers provide clear contact information before purchase, and established retailers do not contact buyers through random parcel notification numbers. If you're unfamiliar with the seller, do not proceed with the transaction and report the seller to the marketplace.

What is 4PX Global Express and why is this number associated with it?

4PX Global Express is a major Chinese logistics company used by over 20,000 online merchants worldwide. The number 02 9644 1851 appears in the reports as a contact associated with the official 4PX warehouse address in Regents Park, NSW (G2/391 Park Road), which handles shipping for multiple Australian online retailers. Legitimate notifications from 0296441851 will reference this warehouse and include verifiable tracking numbers, but scammers may also exploit this association.

What should I do if I paid for an item that never arrived and the seller won't respond?

If you purchased through eBay, Amazon, or another marketplace and paid $1,200 or more, immediately report the transaction to the marketplace's fraud team and file a dispute. Do not accept payment requests or settlement offers from unknown numbers claiming to represent the seller (such as 02 9644 1851). Contact the marketplace directly via their official website. Report the incident to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and ACMA at acma.gov.au to help protect other buyers from the same fraudulent seller.
