RSPCA Bendigo Reports for 03 4309 2554

The number 03 4309 2554 (also written as 0343092554) has generated two conflicting community reports. One contributor flagged a call claiming to be from Shannon Walsh, described as a team leader at RSPCA Bendigo, noting the caller felt suspicious. However, a separate report from September 2024 confirmed that RSPCA did contact the contributor via voicemail, with an inspector named Shannon Walsh leaving a message.

This mixed pattern suggests 03 4309 2554 may be a legitimate RSPCA Bendigo line, but the first report indicates at least one contributor had concerns about the interaction or caller authenticity. Given Victoria's allocation for this local service, the number appears to route through Symbio Networks infrastructure in the state.

What Callers from 03 4309 2554 Say

The confirmed voicemail report indicates RSPCA inspectors use 03 4309 2554 to contact community members, identifying themselves by name and role. The suspicious report provides limited detail about the conversation content, but notes the caller identified as Shannon Walsh and claimed to be a team leader at RSPCA Bendigo.

Without additional context from the suspicious report, it's unclear whether concerns were based on caller behaviour, subject matter, or a mismatch between caller claims and expected RSPCA contact.
