Robocall Recorded Message Reports for 03 4051 4716

Two contributors have reported receiving automated calls from 03 4051 4716 (also written as 0340514716), a local NSW number allocated to Symbio Networks. Both reports describe identical robocall behaviour featuring a recorded message with a language selection prompt.

The calls present themselves as originating from Balranald but use an automated system rather than a live operator. Contributors noted the message instructs them to press 1 for English or 2 for Chinese, a tactic commonly used in large-scale robocall campaigns to identify active numbers for further targeting.

What Callers from 03 4051 4716 Say

The automated message from 0340514716 uses a simple language selection prompt: press 1 for English or 2 for Chinese. One contributor received this as a voicemail, while another answered the call directly and heard the same recording. The message provides no context about who is calling, what service is being offered, or why the call was made.

The use of a purported Balranald location combined with an unidentified robocall is a red flag. Legitimate local service providers typically identify themselves clearly at the start of a call rather than immediately routing callers through language options.

Report Patterns and Timing

The first report came through voicemail on 10 May 2026 at 22:40, while the second was answered directly on 15 May 2026 at 04:51. The timing across different times of day and the fact that both callers used the same message script suggests this is an organised robocall campaign rather than a one-off misdial.

Both reports were submitted as voicemail or answered calls, indicating the number is actively making outbound contact. The five-day gap between reports suggests ongoing campaign activity from 03 4051 4716.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 4051 4716

If 03 4051 4716 calls you:

• Do not: Press any numbers in response to the prompt, return the call, or engage with the automated message
• Do: Hang up immediately, let it go to voicemail, and block the number on your device
• Do: Report the call to ACMA at acma.gov.au to help identify the source of the robocall campaign
• Do: Consider reporting to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au if the call appears designed to harvest active phone numbers for further scam attempts

Why Robocalls with Language Prompts Are Suspicious

Robocalls that immediately ask you to press a number are often used to confirm your number is active and monitored by a human. Once you press a key, your number may be sold to other scammers or kept for follow-up scam calls. The language selection tactic is particularly common in international fraud rings that operate multiple campaigns across different languages.

Legitimate Australian businesses do not initiate contact with unidentified robocalls featuring language selection menus. Any call from 0340514716 using this method should be treated as potentially malicious, regardless of the claimed originating location.
