03 4051 8662 (0340518662): Community reports of unwanted calls requesting donations for Bully Zero charity, with suspicious caller ID behaviour.
Charity Payment Request Reports for 03 4051 8662
Three contributors have flagged calls from 03 4051 8662 (also written as 0340518662), with the primary concern being unsolicited payment requests. One contributor received a direct call from this number requesting money for Bully Zero, described as an anti-bullying charity. The other reports indicate missed calls and suspicious caller ID mismatches, suggesting potential spoofing or misdirected calls.
The number is allocated to Symbio Networks in Victoria as a local service, but community feedback suggests the calling pattern may not be legitimate fundraising activity.
What Callers from 03 4051 8662 Request
One contributor who answered a call from 03 4051 8662 reported that the caller explicitly requested money for Bully Zero. No other details about the pitch or pressure tactics were provided in that report, though the contributor classified it as nuisance activity rather than a confirmed scam.
A second concern flagged by a contributor relates to caller ID spoofing - they noted the caller ID displayed an NSW area code despite 0340518662 being a Victorian local number. This type of mismatch can indicate fraudulent activity or compromised calling systems, though the contributor couldn't confirm the intent.
Report Patterns and Timing
All three reports arrived within a 10-day window in late July and early August 2026. Two calls went unanswered and neither left voicemail, which is typical of mass calling campaigns or spoofed numbers. The single answered call to 03 4051 8662 occurred on 7 August during standard business hours. Contributors found the activity concerning enough to report but provided limited additional context about frequency or escalation.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 4051 8662
If 03 4051 8662 calls you:
- Do not: Provide personal information, agree to donate immediately, or return the call if you don't recognise it
- Do: Let the call go to voicemail, verify the charity independently via official channels before donating, and block the number if calls persist
- Important: Legitimate charities rarely cold-call requesting immediate donations - verify any charity claim by searching the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission register at acnc.gov.au
If the caller mentions a specific charity like Bully Zero, hang up and contact that organisation directly using contact details from their official website, not numbers provided by the caller.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is Bully Zero a legitimate charity?
Before donating to any charity mentioned in a call from 03 4051 8662, check the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) register at acnc.gov.au. Legitimate charities encourage donors to verify details independently. Cold calls requesting immediate donations are a common scam tactic, so always contact the charity directly using their official website contact details rather than returning a call or following instructions from 0340518662.
Why did the caller ID show NSW when the number is from Victoria?
The caller ID mismatch noted by one contributor - where 03 4051 8662 displayed an NSW area code despite being allocated to Victoria - is a red flag for caller ID spoofing. Scammers and spam operators use technology to mask their real number and display false information. This doesn't necessarily prove fraud in every case, but it's unusual for legitimate businesses and warrants caution before responding to 0340518662.
Should I call back if 03 4051 8662 leaves a message?
If 03 4051 8662 calls and leaves no voicemail (as reported by two contributors), do not call back. This is typical of spam and scam campaigns that rely on curiosity callbacks or automated dialling. If the charity or organisation is legitimate, they will provide a number in their message or you can verify their contact details independently via their official website.
What should I do if I've already donated to this number?
Contact your bank or payment provider immediately if you've sent money via 03 4051 8662 and suspect fraud. They may be able to recover funds or prevent further charges. Report the incident to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and to ACMA at acma.gov.au. If a credit card was used, you can also dispute the transaction with your card issuer. Keep records of the call date and time from 0340518662.
How can I block 03 4051 8662 on my phone?
Most Australian mobile phones allow you to block numbers directly in the call history or contacts app. On iPhone, select the number from recent calls and choose 'Block this Caller'. On Android, open the number and tap 'Block' or 'Add to reject list'. You can also register with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au to formally opt out of telemarketing calls including those from 0340518662.
