What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 4100 0118

If 03 4100 0118 calls you:

• Do not: Answer calls from unfamiliar numbers, return the call, engage with recorded messages, or provide personal or financial information
• Do: Let calls go to voicemail, block the number immediately after the first call, and verify any charity contact through official channels on the charity's legitimate website
• Be aware: Legitimate charities in Australia are registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) and their details are publicly available

If you experience repeated calls from 03 4100 0118 or similar numbers in the 03 4100 range, this is a strong indicator of scam activity. Do not assume silence means the line disconnected, as silent calls are deliberately used to probe for active phone numbers in bulk dialling campaigns.
