WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do if someone claiming to be a cyber intelligence agent calls my number from 08 6731 8031?
Hang up immediately. Legitimate cyber security agents never cold-call claiming to be from intelligence services. If 08 6731 8031 contacts you again with similar claims, do not engage and block the number. Report the call to ACMA at acma.gov.au and the Australian Cyber Security Centre at cyber.gov.au.
Is 08 6731 8031 a real government agency number?
No. While 0867318031 is registered to Symbio Networks in South Australia, the contributor's report shows it was used to falsely impersonate a cyber intelligence agent. Government agencies do not operate scams or use impersonation tactics. Always verify by calling the official organisation directly using details from their website.
Why would someone impersonate a cyber intelligence agent when calling 08 6731 8031?
Impersonation builds false credibility to trick people into sharing sensitive information, passwords, or payment details. By claiming authority, the caller aims to overcome natural suspicion. If you answered a call from 08 6731 8031 and shared any personal details, contact your bank and change important passwords immediately.
What information should I not provide to callers claiming to be from cyber intelligence?
Never share passwords, banking details, Medicare numbers, tax file numbers, or remote access credentials with unknown callers. Legitimate agencies like the ATO or Services Australia will never ask for passwords or remote access via unsolicited calls. If 08 6731 8031 or any unknown number requests this information, it is a scam.
Can I block 0867318031 on my phone?
Yes. Block 0867318031 immediately using your phone's built-in blocking feature or through your phone provider. You can also register the number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au to prevent legitimate marketing calls, though this won't stop determined scammers. Report 08 6731 8031 to ACMA for enforcement action.
Where can I report a call from 08 6731 8031 claiming to be cyber intelligence?
Report the call to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) at acma.gov.au. If 0867318031 impersonated any specific government agency, also report to that agency's fraud team. Share your experience on Reverseau to warn other Australians about this number.
