Suspicious Reports for 08 7738 0116

Two contributors have flagged 08 7738 0116 (also written as 0877380116) as suspicious. The reports describe callers using evasive tactics and refusing to provide identification, which are common red flags for impersonation attempts. One contributor noted the caller asked for their name multiple times before anyone on the line would identify themselves, a classic screening technique used by scammers.

The number is allocated to Symbio Networks in South Australia and is registered as a local service. Both instances involved unanswered or brief contact, with no voicemail left behind - a pattern often associated with probe calls designed to confirm active numbers for follow-up scam attempts.

What Callers from 08 7738 0116 Do

According to the contributor who answered, the caller repeated "hello" multiple times before speaking directly. When the recipient responded, the caller immediately asked for their name but refused to identify themselves or explain the purpose of the call. This refusal to provide identification is a significant warning sign - legitimate organisations always identify themselves at the start of a call.

The other report describes a missed call from 0877380116 with no voicemail message left. The contributor noted the number was not in their contact list and they are registered on the Do Not Contact List, making the call improper.

Report Patterns and Timing

The two reports came within hours of each other on 11 March 2026 - one at 3:51 AM and another at 9:36 AM. The early morning timing of the first call is typical of scam operation patterns, when fewer people are alert. No voicemail was left in either case, suggesting automated or probe calling rather than legitimate business outreach.
