Community reports for 08 7081 8157 (0870818157): suspicious voicemails and impersonation calls claiming to be from green Australia.
Suspicious Activity Reports for 08 7081 8157
Three contributors have flagged 08 7081 8157 (also written as 0870818157) for suspicious and deceptive calling behaviour. The reports suggest a pattern of impersonation and questionable voicemail tactics designed to appear legitimate or manipulate call handling.
The most concerning aspect of calls from 0870818157 is the apparent use of language-selection voicemails. Two separate reports describe identical voicemails asking recipients whether they wanted the message in Chinese or English. This tactic is sometimes used as a screening mechanism - legitimate callers rarely start with language options, and the approach can be designed to keep people on the line or trigger callbacks.
What Callers from 08 7081 8157 Have Done
One contributor received a live call from 08 7081 8157 where the caller claimed to be from "green Australia" and attempted to sell something. When the contributor declined, the caller immediately hung up. The contributor noted the caller mispronounced their name, which is often a sign of cold-calling lists or low-effort impersonation.
The two voicemail reports about 0870818157 are identical in content, suggesting either a recorded system or repeated calls to multiple numbers with the same message. The language-selection approach (Chinese or English) is unusual for legitimate local services in South Australia and may be designed to confuse recipients or record responses.
Report Patterns and Timing
The voicemail reports for 08 7081 8157 arrived within seconds of each other on 10 June 2026, suggesting automated or bulk calling activity. The earlier impersonation call came through as a direct answer-and-speak interaction, while the voicemails appear to be pre-recorded messages designed to trigger callback responses.
The number is allocated as a local service in South Australia through Symbio Networks. The mix of voicemail tactics and direct impersonation calls suggests coordinated activity rather than isolated nuisance calls.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 7081 8157
If 08 7081 8157 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, engage with language prompts, or provide personal information
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately, and do not respond to any voicemail prompts
- Be aware: Callers from 0870818157 who claim affiliation with legitimate organisations (like "green Australia") may be impersonating real businesses - verify any claims independently through official channels
If the caller claims to represent a real company or service, hang up and contact the organisation directly using a phone number from their official website, not a number provided by the caller.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does the language-selection voicemail from 08 7081 8157 mean?
Two contributors received identical voicemails from 08 7081 8157 asking whether they wanted the message in Chinese or English. This is an unusual tactic for legitimate callers and may be used to screen numbers, trigger callbacks, or confuse recipients. Do not respond to the prompt - simply delete the voicemail and block 0870818157.
Is the caller claiming to be from 'green Australia' legitimate?
One contributor reported a caller from 08 7081 8157 claiming to be from "green Australia" and attempting to sell something. The caller mispronounced the contributor's name and hung up when declined. This pattern suggests impersonation rather than a legitimate business call. Always verify claims independently through official websites before engaging.
Should I call back a voicemail from 0870818157?
No. Do not call back 0870818157 based on a voicemail. Legitimate organisations do not typically start calls with language-selection prompts, and calling back may confirm your number is active to scammers or spam operators. Block the number instead.
Why did the caller from 08 7081 8157 hang up when I said no?
A contributor experienced a call from 08 7081 8157 where the caller hung up immediately after the contributor declined the sales pitch. This is common behaviour for impersonation and spam callers - they simply move on to the next number on their list rather than persisting. It confirms the call was not a legitimate service attempting to help you.
How can I block 08 7081 8157 on my phone?
Most smartphones allow you to block numbers directly in your call history or contacts. On iPhone, find the number, tap the info icon, and select "Block this Caller." On Android, open the Phone app, find 0870818157, tap the three dots, and select "Block." Check your phone's settings for other blocking options. You can also report the number to your service provider.
What should I do if 0870818157 keeps calling?
If 08 7081 8157 continues calling after you've blocked it, report the repeated contact to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and lodge a complaint with the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au). Keep records of call dates and times. You can also report your experience on Reverseau to help build evidence of a pattern of harassment or impersonation.
