Robocall and Suspicious Activity Reports for 03 7035 9146
Sixteen contributors have reported calls from 03 7035 9146 (also written as 0370359146) with a consistent pattern of suspicious behaviour. The number, allocated to a local service provider in Victoria, has generated reports spanning multiple categories including robocalls, personal information requests, and disconnected callbacks that suggest potential spoofing or inactive number misuse.
Contributors describe 0370359146 as delivering automated messages, asking odd questions, and frequently disconnecting or becoming unavailable when called back. Several reports note that attempting to call back the number results in telco messages indicating the number is not in service, a hallmark of number spoofing tactics commonly used in scams and spam campaigns.
What Callers from 03 7035 9146 Say and Do
One contributor received an automated message claiming to be from the "Australian Research Foundation" discussing home loan rates, despite not owning a home. Another reported a recorded message about winning a $1000 draw, asking whether they were over or under 58 years old - a classic too-good-to-be-true prize scam technique.
Beyond the robocalls, contributors who answered 03 7035 9146 describe the callers as asking "odd questions" before abruptly ending the conversation. One contributor noted they "played along then ended chat before it got weirder," suggesting the caller was testing whether the line was active or attempting to extract information. Several contributors mentioned being asked for personal information directly.
The disconnect between the calls received and the number's availability when called back appears deliberate. Multiple contributors report that 0370359146 either disconnects mid-conversation or returns an automated telco message stating the number is not in use - consistent with number spoofing, where scammers display fake caller IDs to mask their true origin.
Report Patterns and Timing
The reports span from May 2024 to January 2026, with calls arriving at various times and through different channels. Seven contributors missed the calls, six answered, two received voicemails, and one described it via other means. Notably, one contributor mentioned receiving the call while in Sydney but noted the number originated from Melbourne, raising geographic concerns.
No voicemail messages were left in most cases, or the messages were empty, which is typical of automated spam campaigns testing line validity. One contributor described receiving calls with "annoying spam" characteristics. Another received multiple calls daily ("2-3 calls daily") before blocking, though this specific frequency detail appears in only one report.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 7035 9146
If 03 7035 9146 calls you:
- Do not: Answer if you don't recognise the number, press any buttons on automated messages, or provide personal information
- Do not: Return the call immediately, as this confirms your number is active to scammers
- Do: Let it go to voicemail and check if a legitimate message was left
- Do: Block the number immediately in your phone settings
- Do: If you do answer and hear robotic messages or odd questions, hang up without engaging
- Do: Verify any claims independently by calling the organisation directly using a number from their official website, not any number provided in the call
The Spoofing Risk with 0370359146
The repeated reports that 03 7035 9146 becomes unavailable or disconnected when called back is a significant red flag. This behaviour suggests the number itself may be spoofed - meaning scammers are using a real Victorian number (allocated to Symbio Networks) without authorisation to mask their true identity. Legitimate businesses do not become "not in service" immediately after calling you.
This spoofing technique makes it harder for authorities to trace the actual caller, which is why multiple contributors felt comfortable reporting it as suspicious or scam activity. If you call back and get a telco message that the number is not in use, this confirms spoofing is likely occurring.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 03 7035 9146 a legitimate business number?
The number 03 7035 9146 (0370359146) is allocated to Symbio Networks, a Victorian local service provider. However, 16 community reports indicate it is being used for spoofing, robocalls, and suspicious activity. Multiple contributors found the number disconnected or unavailable when they called back, which is inconsistent with legitimate business use. The combination of robocalls, personal info requests, and disconnected callbacks strongly suggests the number is being spoofed by scammers.
What happens if I call back 03 7035 9146?
Several contributors who called back 0370359146 reported getting telco messages stating the number is not in use or disconnected. This is a hallmark of number spoofing - the real number exists (it's allocated to Symbio Networks in Victoria), but scammers are misusing it to hide their identity. Calling back may confirm your number is active to the scammers, making you a repeat target. It's safer to block 03 7035 9146 and not attempt to call back.
Why did 03 7035 9146 ask me for personal information?
One contributor reported that callers from 03 7035 9146 directly asked for personal information during the call. This is a common scam tactic to gather data for identity theft, account takeover, or sale to other criminals. Never provide personal details like full name, address, date of birth, banking details, or tax file number to unsolicited callers from 0370359146. If you did share information, contact your bank and consider placing a fraud alert on your credit file.
What was the 'Australian Research Foundation' call about from 03 7035 9146?
One contributor received an automated robocall from 03 7035 9146 claiming to be from the "Australian Research Foundation" offering information about home loan rates. The contributor did not own a home, making this a clear targeting error or mass-dialling scam. No legitimate government or financial organisation will contact you unsolicited via 0370359146 about loans or financial products. Hang up immediately if you receive this call again.
What about the $1000 draw message from 03 7035 9146?
One contributor received a recorded message from 03 7035 9146 (0370359146) claiming they'd won a $1000 draw and asking whether they were over or under 58 years old. This is a classic too-good-to-be-true prize scam. You cannot win a draw you never entered. The age question is used to profile you for further targeting. If you received this call, do not engage further with 03 7035 9146 and block the number immediately.
Why do reports say 03 7035 9146 leaves no message or empty voicemails?
Multiple contributors reported that 03 7035 9146 either left no voicemail or left empty messages. This is typical of automated spam and robocall campaigns that dial large numbers to test which are active and monitored. If you don't answer or leave a message, the scammer knows your number is valid and will likely call back. Contributors who answered 0370359146 often reported odd questions or abrupt hang-ups, confirming the caller was testing line validity rather than conducting genuine business.
