Impersonation Scam Reports for 03 7050 4107
Community reports for 03 7050 4107 (also written as 0370504107) reveal a persistent pattern of impersonation scams targeting Australian phone users. Of 28 total reports, 17 are confirmed scams, with 14 reports specifically identifying impersonation tactics. Contributors describe callers falsely claiming affiliation with major Australian banks, financial institutions, technology companies, and telecommunications providers.
The 0370504107 number is allocated as a local service via Symbio Networks in Victoria, but callers systematically misrepresent their identity and organisation. One contributor received an automated voicemail from 03 7050 4107 claiming to be 'Sarah Mitchell from Financial Investigation Services', but when they called back, the number was immediately blocked - a classic callback lure tactic. This pattern of providing false names and organisations, combined with call blocking when questioned, indicates deliberate fraud rather than legitimate business contact.
What Callers from 03 7050 4107 Claim
Reports about 0370504107 show callers impersonating multiple organisations simultaneously:
- Commonwealth Bank and ANZ Bank representatives discussing account security or suspicious transactions
- PayPal staff claiming unauthorised large transactions require verification
- Microsoft technical support staff (common tech support scam approach)
- Telstra technicians reporting suspicious activity on IP addresses
- Visa/Mastercard security teams (call centre background chatter audible)
- 'Financial Investigation Services' in automated message format
Several contributors reporting calls from 03 7050 4107 noted the callers exhibited behaviour inconsistent with legitimate organisations. One contributor who received an automated call claiming to be ANZ described connecting to 'a man who couldn't speak English well' - a red flag for offshore call centre operations. Another reported a Telstra caller with an Indian accent, again suggesting overseas operation. When questioned or informed of Do Not Call registration, callers from 0370504107 hung up immediately rather than explaining their purpose.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports for 0370504107 span August 2024 through September 2026, showing sustained scam activity over more than two years. The majority of calls to 03 7050 4107 are answered calls, indicating active engagement attempts from the scammers. Contributors report varied call outcomes:
- Some received automated voicemails from 03 7050 4107 with recorded messages (robocall detection)

- Silent calls where the caller hung up immediately upon connection (9 percent of reports)
- Call centre background chatter audible in several reports, typical of offshore fraud operations
One contributor mentioned receiving multiple calls daily from numbers like 0370504107. The persistence and variety of impersonation tactics - from pre-recorded messages to live operators claiming different organisations - suggests an organised scam operation rather than isolated fraudsters.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 7050 4107
If 03 7050 4107 calls you:
- Do not: Provide any personal information, financial details, or passwords. Do not press numbered options or confirm identity details. Do not return a callback to this number - callback lures are deliberate traps
- Do: Hang up immediately. Let the call go to voicemail. Block 0370504107 on your phone. If you're concerned about a legitimate organisation, hang up and call the official number listed on their website or your statement (never use numbers provided by the caller)
- Verify independently: Banks, PayPal, Microsoft, Telstra, and financial institutions never initiate contact requesting passwords or sensitive information via unsolicited calls. If you're unsure, contact the organisation directly using their official website or phone number
- Report immediately: Even before you hang up, note that this behaviour is consistent with scam operations targeting Australian consumers
Identify Real vs Fake Bank/Service Calls
Contributors reporting calls from 03 7050 4107 have noted that legitimate organisations follow specific protocols:
- Legitimate banks have dedicated phone numbers printed on your card or statement - never use numbers the caller provides
- Real organisations verify your identity BEFORE discussing your account, not after
- Legitimate calls from PayPal, Microsoft, or Telstra almost never originate from standard local numbers - they use specific service lines
- If you're already a customer, the organisation already has your details - repeated requests for 'verification' is a scam indicator

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
I received a call from 03 7050 4107 claiming to be from Commonwealth Bank. What should I do?
Hang up immediately. Commonwealth Bank and other major banks will never call you unsolicited requesting passwords, PINs, or verification codes. Multiple contributors have reported 0370504107 callers falsely claiming bank affiliation. If you're concerned about your account, hang up and call the official number on your bank card or statement - never use a number the caller provides. Then block 03 7050 4107 on your phone.
What was that automated message I heard from 03 7050 4107 about Sarah Mitchell from Financial Investigation Services?
That's a robocall scam. One contributor received an automated voicemail from 03 7050 4107 with a pre-recorded message claiming to be 'Sarah Mitchell from Financial Investigation Services' offering to discuss financial options. When they called back, 0370504107 blocked them immediately - this is a callback lure tactic designed to trap people into calling back. Financial Investigation Services is not a legitimate Australian organisation, and this number is not associated with any genuine service.
A caller from 0370504107 said there was suspicious activity on my IP address and claimed to be Telstra. Is this real?
No. Multiple contributors have reported 03 7050 4107 callers impersonating Telstra with claims about suspicious IP activity. This is a common tech support scam. Telstra will never contact you unsolicited about IP address issues. The 0370504107 number is a Victoria-based local service, not a Telstra number. Hang up and block 03 7050 4107 immediately.
I answered a call from 03 7050 4107 and heard a call centre background and someone claiming PayPal. Was this a scam?
Yes. Multiple reports describe 0370504107 as a call centre operation with background chatter, and several specifically mention callers impersonating PayPal discussing large unauthorised transactions. PayPal handles disputes through their website and app, never via unsolicited calls from local numbers like 03 7050 4107. If you're concerned about PayPal activity, log into your account directly via the PayPal website.
The call from 0370504107 disconnected silently when I answered. What does that mean?
Some calls from 03 7050 4107 appear to be silent or robocalls that disconnect immediately when answered. These may be automated systems testing whether your number is active before routing it to a live scammer, or they may be callback lures waiting for you to hang up so you'll call back. Either way, do not return the call. Block 0370504107 on your phone and report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
How do I know if a call claiming to be from a bank or tech company is really from 03 7050 4107?
Never trust any unsolicited call requesting passwords, verification codes, or personal financial information. Contributors reporting 0370504107 have confirmed it's used by scammers impersonating Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, PayPal, Microsoft, and Telstra. Always hang up unsolicited calls and contact the organisation directly using the official number on your card, statement, or their website. Legitimate organisations will never initiate contact requesting sensitive details via phone.
