What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 7047 5729

If 03 7047 5729 calls you:

• Do not: Answer if you don't recognise the number, provide personal information, confirm your name or address, or agree to any offers
• Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately, and save the number for reporting if you've already answered
