WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What do callers from 03 7053 1512 claim to be?
Community reports indicate callers from 03 7053 1512 (0370531512) claim to represent the Federal Police, Australia's cyber crimes unit, and electricity companies. One contributor reported a recorded voicemail saying it was urgent Federal Police business. Another said someone claiming to be from the cyber crimes unit mentioned their email address. These are all impersonation attempts - legitimate government agencies do not contact citizens this way.
Should I call back a number that left a voicemail claiming to be Federal Police?
No. One contributor who received a voicemail from 03 7053 1512 claiming to be Federal Police tried calling back and encountered either busy signals or dead air - a classic scam indicator. Never call back numbers that leave urgent voicemails claiming government authority. Instead, independently verify by contacting the Australian Federal Police directly via afp.gov.au or 131 237 using your own phone line.
Why would a caller from 0370531512 mention my email address?
One contributor reported receiving a call from 03 7053 1512 where the caller mentioned their email address. This is a common scam tactic designed to create false credibility and convince victims they have legitimate personal information. Criminals obtain email addresses from data breaches or purchased lists. Mentioning one detail does not verify legitimacy - hang up and verify independently through official channels.
What should I do if 03 7053 1512 claims to be from my electricity company?
Hang up immediately. Multiple contributors reported calls from 0370531512 where callers posed as electricity company representatives using fake accents and aggressive tactics. Legitimate utility companies identify themselves clearly and do not use high-pressure sales tactics. If you have concerns about your account, contact your actual electricity provider directly using the number on your bill, not any number the caller provides.
Is 0370531512 a real government number?
No. 03 7053 1512 is registered as a local service number in Victoria allocated to a VoIP provider. It is not a genuine government agency number. Real Australian government agencies use official phone numbers published on their websites. If you receive a call claiming government authority from 0370531512, it is impersonation. Hang up and contact the actual agency independently.
What should I do if I already provided information to a caller from 03 7053 1512?
Contact your bank immediately to report potential fraud. Monitor your bank accounts and credit for suspicious activity. Place a fraud alert with Australian Credit Reporting bodies if financial information was compromised. Report the call to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) and ACMA (acma.gov.au). If government impersonation occurred, also report to the Australian Federal Police at afp.gov.au.
