Phishing Link Scam Reports for 03 6724 3536
Six contributors have reported scam activity from 03 6724 3536 (also written as 0367243536), primarily via SMS and phone calls claiming transaction failures. The consistent pattern involves messages stating a payment couldn't be processed, followed by requests to call a support number or click a link. Multiple reports indicate the scammers already had contributors' names, creating a false sense of legitimacy when 0367243536 contacted them.
The majority of reports about 03 6724 3536 centre on phishing tactics, where contributors received SMS messages with varying claims of failed transactions. One contributor received a text claiming "Nick Hutch couldn't process transaction", despite not being Nick Hutch, then directing them to call the support line at 03 6724 3536. Another report described an SMS with the contributor's actual name claiming a transaction had failed, again pushing them to call support.
What Callers from 03 6724 3536 Say
The scam messages from 0367243536 follow a deliberate formula: first, they claim a transaction or payment has failed, then they provide a callback number (often the same 03 6724 3536) or request a call to "support". Contributors report that when they answered calls directly from this number, callers claimed they "couldn't process a recent transaction" and instructed them to call back the support line.
One contributor who answered a call from 03 6724 3536 reported that the caller said they "checked files" and wanted the contributor to call back. The use of personal information (contributor names appearing in SMS messages) appears designed to make the scam seem legitimate and targeted, rather than a mass operation. Several reports note that 0367243536 is presented as the official support number, making it the critical linking point between the initial phishing message and the callback trap.
SMS vs Call Attack Patterns
The reports reveal two attack vectors from 03 6724 3536. The majority (4 reports) came via SMS containing phishing messages, while two contributors actually answered incoming calls from 0367243536. The SMS reports show the scammers casting a wider net with bulk messages, whereas the answered calls suggest targeted follow-up attempts. One contributor noted they answered because they have friends in the Tasmania area and didn't recognise the number as a landline they'd expect. This suggests the scammers may be spoofing or using legitimate-looking local Tasmania numbers to bypass suspicion.
The timeline of reports from 03 6724 3536 clusters in early February 2026, with earlier suspicious activity dating back to August-September 2025. This pattern suggests either a sustained campaign or periodic reactivation of the same scam infrastructure using 0367243536.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did the SMS from 03 6724 3536 have my real name in it?
Multiple contributors have reported that messages from 03 6724 3536 included their actual names, suggesting the scammers have access to personal data from a breach or purchased data list. This personalisation is a deliberate tactic to build false trust - it makes the fake transaction claim seem more credible. However, legitimate banks and payment providers will never ask you to click links or call support numbers provided in unsolicited messages. Always contact your provider using the details on your official statements or their verified website.
A call from 03 6724 3536 said it couldn't process my transaction. What should I do?
Do not call back 03 6724 3536 or any number provided in the message. Hang up and contact your bank directly using the phone number on the back of your debit or credit card, or log into your official banking app. Legitimate financial institutions never ask you to call them back at a number they've provided in an unsolicited call - this is a classic phishing tactic. Check your recent transactions in your banking app to see if any payment actually failed.
Is 03 6724 3536 a real support number I should call back?
No. 0367243536 is being used as a phishing trap. Contributors who were told to call this number or received SMS directing them to contact it have reported it as a scam. Even if the initial message mentions a legitimate-sounding payment company or bank, scammers spoof these references. Never call a number provided by an unsolicited SMS or call - instead, independently verify using contact details from your official bank statements or the company's verified website.
The SMS from 03 6724 3536 said a transaction failed but I don't think I made one. Is this a scam?
Yes. This is a known phishing tactic associated with 0367243536. Scammers send these messages to trigger panic and immediate action - they bank on recipients calling back without thinking. Even if you did make a recent transaction, never use contact details from an unsolicited message. Log into your banking app directly, check your transaction history, and contact your bank using verified contact details if you have concerns.
Can I safely click the link in an SMS from 03 6724 3536?
Absolutely not. Multiple reports about 0367243536 specifically flag phishing links in SMS messages. Clicking these links can install malware, steal login credentials, or compromise your banking security. If you receive such a message, delete it immediately and do not interact with any links. Forward the SMS to 0429 999 888 to report it to ACMA as spam.
Why does 03 6724 3536 appear to be a Tasmania landline number?
0367243536 is registered as a local service (landline) in Tasmania with Symbio Networks. However, scammers routinely spoof or use legitimate numbers to appear trustworthy. The fact that it's formatted as a local number doesn't make it safe. One contributor answered because they have friends in Tasmania - this is exactly the psychology scammers exploit. Never trust a number based on its format or area code. Always verify independently using official contact methods.
