Energy Sales Reports for 03 7047 5978
A contributor has reported receiving a call from 03 7047 5978 (also written as 0370475978) where the caller claimed to represent ISelect, an energy comparison service.

This type of unsolicited energy sales call is common in Victoria, where 0370475978 is registered as a local service number. The caller's approach of cold-calling to push plan switches suggests a telemarketing campaign rather than a response to genuine inquiry.

The caller did not indicate whether the recipient had previously interacted with ISelect or given permission for contact. This approach is typical of energy retail telemarketing, where sales teams contact households to encourage switching providers for potential savings.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is ISelect really calling from 03 7047 5978?
One contributor reported that a caller claiming to be from ISelect phoned from 03 7047 5978 (0370475978). While ISelect is a legitimate Australian energy comparison service, this doesn't mean the call was genuinely from ISelect. Scammers and unauthorised resellers sometimes impersonate comparison services. Always hang up and contact ISelect directly through their official website to verify any energy offers before proceeding.
Can energy retailers legally cold-call me about switching plans?
Yes, energy retailers and comparison services can cold-call you about switching plans, even without prior consent. However, if you register your number with the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au), they must remove you from their calling lists. If 03 7047 5978 or 0370475978 continues calling after Do Not Call registration, you can lodge a complaint with ACMA.
What should I do if I'm interested in the energy plan from 03 7047 5978?
If the offer from 03 7047 5978 sounds genuine, do not provide account details during the call. Instead, hang up, contact your current energy provider to ask about their rates, and independently verify any new plans through official retailer websites or the Australian Energy Regulator's website. This protects you from fraudulent offers while still allowing you to compare plans.
Why did only one person report 03 7047 5978?
Telemarketing campaigns like the one reported for 0370475978 often reach many people, but most recipients simply hang up without reporting it. Only one contributor has reported 03 7047 5978 so far, which suggests either limited calling volume or that most people discarded the call. As more people report their experiences, patterns become clearer.
Is 03 7047 5978 a scam or legitimate sales call?
Based on the single report, 03 7047 5978 appears to be a legitimate telemarketing call attempting to sell energy plans, not a financial scam. However, the unsolicited nature and pressure tactics associated with energy sales calls can be unwanted. If you're not interested in switching, simply hang up, block 0370475978, and register with the Do Not Call Register.
How can I block future calls from 0370475978?
Most modern mobile phones allow you to block numbers directly in your contacts or call history. Block 0370475978 or 03 7047 5978 through your phone's settings.
