Two contributors have reported unusual activity from 03 6159 9471 (also written as 0361599471), a Tasmanian local number allocated to Symbio Networks. The reports suggest inconsistent caller behaviour and potentially misleading callback responses, warranting caution.
What Callers from 03 6159 9471 Are Doing
One contributor received a voicemail in Chinese from 03 6159 9471 and noted it came from "the same crew as another call with the same thing," suggesting coordinated activity from a group using this number. Another contributor attempted to call back after receiving a missed call, only to hear an American voice recording stating the number was "not in service" - a red flag indicating the callback system may be spoofed or deliberately deceptive.
Why This Behaviour Is Concerning
The pattern observed with 0361599471 combines several suspicious markers: unsolicited voicemails in a foreign language, missed calls with no message, and a callback number that returns an out-of-service message from an American voice system. This mismatch between the Australian number and the American voice response suggests the number may be part of a spoofing scheme or compromised line used for deceptive calling.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would a Tasmanian number say it's 'not in service' when called back?
When you call back 03 6159 9471 and hear this message, it typically indicates the number has been spoofed or is part of a spoofing scheme. Legitimate Australian numbers don't usually respond with American voice recordings. This is a strong indicator that the original call did not genuinely originate from 0361599471.
What does it mean if I receive a voicemail in Chinese from 03 6159 9471?
A voicemail in an unexpected language from 03 6159 9471 is unusual and warrants caution. One contributor noted this happens repeatedly from "the same crew," suggesting coordinated activity. Do not call back the number or follow any instructions in the voicemail. Block 0361599471 immediately and report to ACMA.
Is 03 6159 9471 a legitimate Tasmanian business number?
The number 03 6159 9471 (0361599471) is allocated as a local Tasmanian service through Symbio Networks, but allocation alone doesn't guarantee legitimacy. The suspicious callback responses and foreign-language voicemails reported by contributors suggest the number may be compromised or spoofed despite its legitimate allocation.

No. One contributor who attempted to call back 0361599471 received an out-of-service message from an American voice system, which is a clear warning sign. Never call back unknown numbers, especially after suspicious activity. If the caller needs you, they'll leave a clear voicemail or contact you through a verified channel.
What should I do with the voicemail from 03 6159 9471?
Keep the voicemail as evidence. If you understand the language, transcribe what was said and include it when reporting to ACMA (acma.gov.au) or Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au). Report the number on Reverseau so other Australians can be alerted to similar activity from 0361599471.
