CoinSpot Impersonation Scam on 1300 092 503
Nine contributors have reported receiving scam messages impersonating CoinSpot, Australia's cryptocurrency exchange platform. The scam uses 1300 092 503 (also written as 1300092503) to create false urgency around unauthorized account access. Multiple contributors verified directly with CoinSpot that the exchange would never initiate contact via SMS asking customers to call back on a provided number.
The impersonation tactic is sophisticated: scammers claim the victim's CoinSpot app has been installed or accessed on a new device in a different country (Singapore, Ottawa mentioned in reports). Contributors report receiving messages stating "app opened on new iPhone Pro17 in Ottawa" or "app had been installed on new device in Singapore," designed to panic account holders into immediate action.
What Callers and Messages from 1300 092 503 Say
The scam messages consistently follow a pattern of urgency and impersonation. One contributor received an SMS claiming a withdrawal had been initiated and instructing them to call 1300 092 503 if it wasn't authorised. Another report detailed a message supposedly from CoinSpot referencing a new device registration in Singapore with instructions to "call +611300092503 immediately."
Several contributors noted the messages specifically mentioned cryptocurrency app activity (app installations, new device logins) combined with geographic red flags (Singapore, Ottawa, other countries). The language used mirrors legitimate security alerts, making them convincing at first glance. One contributor reported receiving two separate messages from 1300092503 within a short timeframe, suggesting automated or batch sending of these scam alerts.
Reports highlight that scammers request personal information and authentication codes. One contributor was specifically warned not to share "any codes they mention," indicating the scam extends beyond callback requests to phishing for two-factor authentication details or verification codes.
Report Patterns and Timing
All nine reports received were via SMS or missed calls, with the bulk arriving between late September and late October 2025. Most contributions emphasise the SMS channel as the primary attack vector. Several contributors reported multiple messages from 1300092503, suggesting either repeated targeting of the same victims or mass SMS distribution campaigns.
One contributor received a message originating from an international number (+212 7 79 24 84 91) but with instructions to call back on 1300 092 503, indicating the scammers are routing messages through different channels while centralising the callback number. This approach obscures the true source and increases the likelihood victims will trust the callback instruction as legitimate.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 1300 092 503 actually from CoinSpot?
No. CoinSpot has confirmed they would never ask customers to call a number provided in an SMS. Multiple contributors verified directly with CoinSpot that 1300092503 is not a legitimate contact method. This is a scammer using CoinSpot's brand to impersonate the exchange.
What should I do if I already called 1300 092 503?
Change your CoinSpot password immediately and enable two-factor authentication if you haven't already. Check your account for unauthorised activity or login attempts. Contact CoinSpot's official support team using the phone number on their website (not the one from the scam message). Monitor your accounts for the next 30 days and report the incident to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Why are these SMS messages claiming my app was accessed in another country?
Scammers use geographic red flags (Singapore, Ottawa) to create panic and urgency. The fake alerts about app installations or logins in other countries mimic legitimate security notifications from real banks and exchanges. The goal is to make you act quickly without thinking critically, either by calling 1300092503 or clicking a malicious link.
Can I block 1300 092 503 on my phone?
Yes. You can block 1300092503 in your phone's settings or via your carrier's spam-blocking service. Most Australian mobile providers (Telstra, Vodafone, Optus) offer free spam and scam blocking tools. After blocking the number, also report it to ACMA via acma.gov.au and to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
What if I shared a two-factor code with someone from 1300 092 503?
Change your CoinSpot password immediately and revoke any active sessions. Two-factor codes are time-limited but can still compromise your account if used quickly. Log into CoinSpot and check for unauthorised transactions. If money has been moved, contact CoinSpot support immediately and report the incident to ReportCyber at cyber.gov.au for potential account recovery assistance.
Why do these scam SMS messages come from 1300 092 503 when the originating number is different?
Scammers use SMS spoofing or routing services to make their messages appear to come from a specific local rate number (1300092503). The actual origin might be an international number, but the message displays 1300 092 503 to make it look legitimate. This tactic increases the likelihood victims will trust the callback instruction. Block the number, report it, and never call back.
