Callback Lure Reports for 08 7093 5308
Two contributors have reported suspicious activity from 08 7093 5308 (also written as 0870935308), with one specifically identifying a callback lure tactic. A callback lure works by prompting you to call back a number, where a recorded message then directs you through a series of options, typically to trick you into incurring premium charges or revealing personal information. The report from 0870935308 indicates callers are using this deceptive technique.
The number is allocated as a local service in South Australia via Symbio Networks, which can lend false legitimacy to scam calls. Contributors report the interaction pattern suggests deliberate misdirection rather than a legitimate business.
What Callers from 08 7093 5308 Do
When one contributor called back 08 7093 5308, they encountered a recorded message stating "Sorry, that is not a valid extension. Please try again." This type of response is a classic callback lure indicator - the caller leaves a voicemail or message prompting you to call back, but the number leads nowhere useful or to premium-rate routing.
Another report about 0870935308 describes a voicemail with an odd accent and generic introduction that ended abruptly. The contributor noted the message felt unusual and deliberately vague, which aligns with callback lure patterns where callers avoid identifying themselves clearly to prevent verification.

The reports span nearly a month (August to September 2026), indicating ongoing activity.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is a callback lure scam?
A callback lure occurs when someone calls you leaving a message (voicemail, SMS, or missed call notification) prompting you to call them back. When you do, you reach a system designed to confuse you - like the one from 08 7093 5308 that says "Sorry, that is not a valid extension" - which may route you to premium numbers, keep you on expensive lines, or trick you into pressing options that reveal personal data. Never call back unknown numbers; instead, independently verify any urgent claims.
Why is 0870935308 using an invalid extension message?
The recorded message from 08 7093 5308 saying "not a valid extension" is deliberate misdirection. It keeps you on the line, confused, and potentially trying additional options - some of which may be premium-rate numbers that incur charges. The vague message also prevents you from identifying the actual organisation behind the call, which is the scammer's goal.
Should I call 08 7093 5308 back if they leave a voicemail?
No. One contributor who called back 0870935308 reached only a recorded error message. This is a red flag for callback lure scams. If someone calls you, let it go to voicemail. If there's a legitimate reason for contact (overdue bills, legal matter), independently verify by contacting the organisation through their official website or a number you find yourself - never use a number from the voicemail.
What should I do if I already called back 08 7093 5308?
If you called back 0870935308 and pressed any menu options, heard requests for personal information, or incurred unexpected charges, monitor your phone bill closely over the next 1-2 months. If unauthorised premium charges appear, contact your phone provider immediately and report the number to the ACMA at acma.gov.au. Block 08 7093 5308 now to prevent further contact.
Is 08 7093 5308 a legitimate South Australian business number?
The number 0870935308 is allocated as a local service in South Australia via Symbio Networks, but allocation alone does not confirm legitimacy. Scammers often spoof or misuse local service numbers to appear credible. The callback lure pattern and reported misdirection strongly suggest 08 7093 5308 is not a legitimate business. Never assume a number is safe based on area code or provider alone.
How do I report 0870935308 to authorities?
Report 08 7093 5308 to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) describing the callback lure tactic, and to the ACMA (acma.gov.au) as an unwanted call. Include the date, time, and exact message you received. If you're on the Do Not Call Register and 0870935308 contacted you without consent, specifically mention that in your report. You can also report on Reverseau to warn other Australians about this number.
