Government Solar Rebate Spam Reports for 03 5213 3102
Two contributors have reported suspicious activity from 03 5213 3102 (also written as 0352133102), a local Victorian number. One report describes a caller claiming affiliation with a Government Solar Energy Rebate Scheme, a common deceptive tactic targeting homeowners.

What Callers from 03 5213 3102 Claim
