• Uncertain
• Legit
• Scam
• Suspicious

Community reports for 03 6169 4144 (0361694144) show mixed activity: legitimate Tasmania police calls, suspicious impersonation attempts, and aggressive repeated calling patterns.

Mixed Activity Reports for 03 6169 4144

The number 03 6169 4144 (also written as 0361694144) has generated five community reports with significantly conflicting patterns. Two contributors confirmed legitimate contact from Tasmania Police non-emergency line, including one address confirmation call and one callback. However, three reports describe concerning behaviour including police impersonation, aggressive repeated calling, and requests for personal information with inconsistent stories.

This mixed reporting pattern suggests the number may be legitimately used by Tasmania Police while also being spoofed or misused by others, or alternatively that some contributors may be misidentifying the source of calls. The presence of both confirmed legitimate and suspicious reports warrants careful verification before engaging.

Suspicious Activity Reported for 0361694144

Three contributors reported red flags when contacted from 03 6169 4144. One caller claiming to be Tasmania police rang at 12:30 AM with an unusual story about pocket dialling, describing a conversation that the contributor found strange and difficult to follow. Another report described a caller asking to confirm the recipient's phone number while mentioning a stolen bicycle, but the story was confusing and didn't add up. A third contributor received approximately 10 missed calls from 0361694144 in rapid succession over a short period, with additional SMS messages claiming a voicemail was left and requesting a callback to a different number.

The midnight timing, inconsistent stories, and pressure to return calls to alternative numbers are recognised indicators of impersonation or callback scams, even when claiming official capacity.

Legitimate Police Contact Confirmed

Two separate contributors verified legitimate contact from Tasmania Police using 03 6169 4144. One call involved address confirmation for home safety purposes, and another was a callback from the police non-emergency line. These reports indicate the number is genuinely used by Tasmania Police for official purposes.

Report Patterns and Timing

The five reports span from late 2023 to April 2026, with the most recent report describing the most aggressive behaviour. One contributor reported receiving calls from 0361694144 approximately every 2 minutes with accompanying SMS messages on the same day. Previous reports from 2023 and 2025 involved single answered calls with varying legitimacy assessments. The variation in timing and patterns suggests either different callers using the same Tasmania Police number, or misuse of the number through spoofing.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 6169 4144

Because this number shows mixed legitimate and suspicious activity, take these precautions:

• Do not: Share personal information or phone numbers on the first call, return calls to numbers mentioned by the caller, or engage with urgent requests at unusual hours like midnight
• Do: Let unknown calls go to voicemail, hang up and independently call Tasmania Police non-emergency line (131 444) to verify the call, check the voicemail through your phone's voicemail system rather than using numbers provided by the caller
• If repeated calls occur: Block the number after the first call, report the pattern to ACMA as potential number spoofing, and note the time and content for your records

For any call claiming to be from Tasmania Police, always independently verify by calling the official non-emergency number rather than using any callback details provided by the caller.
