Community Fundraising Spam Reports for 03 5292 0103
A single contributor has reported receiving a voicemail from 03 5292 0103 (also written as 0352920103) claiming to represent 'your community' and 'the fundraising centre'. The caller left a message rather than engaging in direct conversation, which is a common tactic used by unsolicited fundraising operations.
This Victorian local number allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd was used to deliver a vague message about community fundraising without identifying a specific organisation, charity name, or fundraising purpose. The generic framing ('your community') and lack of specifics are hallmarks of spam fundraising calls that cast a wide net to multiple recipients.
What the Caller from 03 5292 0103 Claimed
The voicemail message referenced 'the fundraising centre' without naming an actual registered charity or organisation. The contributor reported the caller claimed to be acting 'on behalf of your community', a deliberately broad statement designed to create a sense of local connection without accountability.
No specific cause, charity registration number, or contact details were provided in the message left on 0352920103. This lack of transparency is a red flag for illegitimate fundraising operations, which typically avoid providing information that could be independently verified.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What did the caller from 03 5292 0103 say in their voicemail?
The contributor reported a voicemail claiming to be from 'your community' and 'the fundraising centre', but no specific charity name, registration details, or fundraising purpose was mentioned. The generic language and lack of identifying information are typical of spam fundraising operations.
Is 0352920103 a legitimate charity fundraiser?
Based on the single report, there are no details suggesting legitimacy. The vague references to 'your community' and 'the fundraising centre' without naming a specific registered charity or providing verifiable contact details are red flags. If you're asked to donate, independently verify the charity's name and registration through the ACNC register before giving any money.
Should I call back the number 03 5292 0103?
No. Do not return calls to 0352920103. Legitimate charities provide clear identification, registration details, and their official contact information in initial communications. Calling back an unsolicited fundraising number may confirm your phone is active and lead to more spam calls.
How can I verify if a charity is legitimate before donating?
Search the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) register at acnc.gov.au using the charity's name. Legitimate registered charities have publicly available registration details, tax concession details, and financial reporting. If the caller from 03 5292 0103 refused to name their charity or provide a registration number, it's likely not legitimate.
What should I do if 0352920103 keeps calling me?
Block the number in your phone's contacts. You can also register your number on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au and report the calls as spam to ACMA at acma.gov.au. File a report on Reverseau to alert other Australians about 03 5292 0103.
Is this number part of a larger fundraising scam?
