Gut feeling something's off, dodgy spam call
Received a phone call from (03) 7053 1517 which displayed as 'Suspected Spam' so I did not answer. They did not leave a message. Reverseau. Com lists the number as belonging to Netsip Pty Ltd. Google lists the following "NetSIP Pty Ltd is an Australian company specializing in VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and unified communication solutions for businesses."
I have no need for VOIP services so suspect it was a spam marketing call and have blocked them.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do if someone calling from 03 7053 1517 asks for my credit card details?
Hang up immediately. Legitimate financial institutions never request full card details, PINs, or passwords via unsolicited calls. If the caller claims to be from your bank, end the call and ring your bank's official customer service number from the back of your card. Do not use any number the caller provides. Report the call to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and ACMA at acma.gov.au.
Can 0370531517 really be from Amazon or Visa if it showed up on my phone?
No. Scammers can spoof caller IDs to display as legitimate companies. The number 03 7053 1517 is registered to Netsip Pty Ltd, a VoIP provider, not Amazon or Visa. Scammers purchase VoIP services and program fake caller IDs. Never assume a call is legitimate based on what appears on your screen. Always verify by hanging up and calling the official customer service number.
Why do some calls from 03 7053 1517 hang up after a few seconds?
Short hang-ups from 0370531517 are typically number-verification calls. Scammers test lists to identify active phone numbers before launching full impersonation attempts. If 03 7053 1517 keeps calling, block the number and do not answer. Do not return the call, as callback scams may route through premium services.
A caller from 03 7053 1517 said they were from the immigration office and asked for documents. Is this legitimate?
No. Australian government agencies do not request personal documents via unsolicited calls. If you have genuine immigration matters, contact Services Australia directly using the official number on their website, not a number provided by the caller. Report this impersonation attempt to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and to the Australian Cyber Security Centre at cyber.gov.au.
I received a call from 0370531517 claiming to be cyber crime police about suspicious activity. Should I comply with their request?
No. This is a scam. Law enforcement does not make unsolicited calls demanding immediate action or threatening arrest. If you suspect actual cybercrime, contact your local police on 000 or via the Police Assistance Line, not through numbers provided by callers. Report the impersonation to ReportCyber at cyber.gov.au and block 03 7053 1517.
How can I block 03 7053 1517 and report it to authorities?
Most smartphones allow you to block numbers directly in your call history. After blocking 0370531517, report it to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au), ACMA (acma.gov.au), and Reverseau.
