Impersonation Reports for 03 7052 0339
One contributor has reported a suspicious call from 03 7052 0339 (also written as 0370520339) involving impersonation of legitimate organisations. The caller claimed affiliation with FightMND, Apple Marketing Group, and The Fundraising Group but disconnected immediately when the recipient answered, suggesting the call may have been part of a verification or testing process.
The number is allocated as a local service in Victoria through AAPT Limited. The impersonation tactic combined with the immediate hang-up is a known pattern where callers verify that a number is active before further contact attempts or attempting to establish trust for future calls.
What Happened During the Call to 03 7052 0339
The contributor answered the call from 0370520339 and heard a caller claiming to represent three different organisations: FightMND (the motor neurone disease charity), Apple Marketing Group, and The Fundraising Group. Rather than continuing the conversation or making any request, the caller hung up as soon as the recipient picked up.
This type of hang-up behaviour when a person answers is often used to validate contact numbers before launching a wider campaign. It may also indicate the call was misdirected or that the caller was testing whether the number was monitored or active before attempting further contact.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 7052 0339
If 03 7052 0339 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, share personal information, or provide payment details if they call back
- Do: Let the call go to voicemail, verify any claim independently by contacting the organisation directly using a number from their official website, and block the number if it calls repeatedly
- Do: Note the time and date of the call for your records
If the caller claims to represent a charity like FightMND or a company like Apple, independently verify the claim by calling the organisation's official phone number (found on their website) rather than any number provided by the caller.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would a caller from 03 7052 0339 hang up immediately after I answered?
Immediate hang-ups when answered are often used to validate that a phone number is active and monitored. Callers from 0370520339 may be testing contact lists before launching a wider impersonation campaign, or the call could have been misdirected. It's a tactic to avoid detection while confirming a number works.
Should I be concerned about impersonation of FightMND or Apple mentioned in the 03 7052 0339 report?
Yes. If 0370520339 or a similar number contacts you claiming to represent FightMND, Apple Marketing Group, or The Fundraising Group, verify independently by hanging up and calling the organisation directly using a number from their official website. Legitimate companies do not demand immediate action over the phone.
Is 03 7052 0339 a scam number?
Based on the one community report, 0370520339 has been flagged for suspicious impersonation behaviour (claiming affiliation with multiple organisations then hanging up). This pattern is consistent with scam verification tactics. Treat calls from 03 7052 0339 with caution and do not engage with claims about charities, companies, or services without independent verification.
What should I do if 03 7052 0339 calls me back?
Do not answer. If 0370520339 calls repeatedly, block the number on your phone. If they leave a voicemail claiming to be from FightMND, Apple, or any other organisation, verify the claim independently using official contact details (found on the organisation's website, not from the voicemail). Never return the call to a number left by an unknown caller.
Can I report impersonation calls from 03 7052 0339 to ACMA?
Yes. You can report the call from 0370520339 to ACMA at acma.gov.au. Include details such as the date, time, and what the caller claimed to represent. You can also report to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) if the call involved an attempted scam or impersonation of a legitimate organisation.
Why does 03 7052 0339 appear as a local Victorian number?
The number 0370520339 is registered as a local service in Victoria through AAPT Limited. However, the physical location of the caller cannot be determined from the number allocation alone. Scammers and impersonators often use legitimate-looking local or area code numbers to appear trustworthy. Do not assume the caller is genuinely located in Victoria based on the area code (03).
