Impersonation Scam Reports for 03 7053 1539

Three contributors have reported impersonation attempts from 03 7053 1539 (also written as 0370531539), a Victorian local service number.

One contributor received a call about an unauthorized transaction, while another was targeted by a robocall claiming to be from police. All callers demonstrated thick accents inconsistent with legitimate Australian organisations, raising suspicion about the actual origin of these calls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if 03 7053 1539 calls claiming there's fraud on my account?

Do not provide any information. Hang up immediately and call your bank directly using the number on your bank card or statement - not any number provided by the caller from 0370531539. Legitimate banks never call asking you to verify account details or claim there's fraud without you initiating contact first.

Is 03 7053 1539 really from Victoria?

The number 03 7053 1539 is allocated as a Victorian local service, but multiple contributors report the actual callers have thick accents inconsistent with Australian origin. Scammers often spoof or use legitimate-looking Australian numbers to appear local and trustworthy while operating from overseas.

What should I do if I receive a robocall from 0370531539 claiming to be police?

Hang up immediately. Police never call to threaten arrest over the phone or demand immediate payment. If you're concerned about a genuine police matter, call the police yourself on 000 or the non-emergency line, not a number that called you from 03 7053 1539.

Why did the caller from 03 7053 1539 hang up when I said I couldn't hear them?

Scammers often use scripted calls that don't adapt well to unexpected situations. When one contributor couldn't hear the caller from 0370531539, the caller hung up rather than repeating the message, suggesting the call was automated or the person calling couldn't deviate from a script.

How many people have reported 03 7053 1539?

Five contributors have reported 0370531539 to Reverseau. Three specifically report impersonation tactics, with claims ranging from unauthorized transactions to police impersonation. One report mentioned a robocall.

Can I block 03 7053 1539 on my phone?

Yes. On most Australian phones, you can block 0370531539 by selecting the number in your call history and choosing 'Block' or 'Report as Spam'. This prevents future calls from 03 7053 1539 from reaching you. After blocking, also report the number to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
