Mixed Reports for 03 7053 9607
Five contributors have flagged calls from 03 7053 9607 (also written as 0370539607) with varying concerns. The reports indicate inconsistent caller behaviour, ranging from impersonation attempts to silent disconnections and unsolicited sales pitches. This Victoria-based local service number has generated reports across multiple categories, suggesting either misuse of the number or a pattern of problematic outbound calling.
The most serious report involves a caller claiming to represent the Australian Federal Police (AFP). Other contributors report the number hanging up immediately upon connection, a tactic sometimes associated with callback scams or robocall verification. One contributor also flagged an unsolicited solar panel rebate pitch, indicating the number may be used for telemarketing purposes.
What Callers from 03 7053 9607 Have Done
One contributor received a call from 03 7053 9607 where the caller claimed affiliation with the AFP. This impersonation claim is particularly concerning as law enforcement impersonation is a known scam tactic used to pressure targets into urgent action or financial transfers.
Two separate reports describe the caller from 0370539607 hanging up immediately after the contributor answered. These silent call incidents occurred on consecutive days in January, suggesting deliberate repeated contact rather than accidental dialling. Silent calls of this nature are sometimes used to identify active phone numbers for later scam attempts or to trigger callback responses.
A December report mentions the number calling with a solar panel rebate offer. This type of unsolicited sales call falls under telemarketing spam and may violate Do Not Call Register regulations depending on prior consent history.
Call Patterns
The five reports span from November 2025 to February 2026, with no clear clustering pattern. The silent call incidents on 20 January 2026 are the closest temporal match, occurring roughly two hours apart. This suggests either a deliberate callback verification strategy or automated retry logic. The solar panel pitch came early morning (04:46 UTC), which may correspond to late evening or very early morning in Melbourne, an unusual time for legitimate sales contact.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Someone claiming to be from the AFP called me from 03 7053 9607. Is this legitimate?
Law enforcement agencies do not call from regular landline numbers threatening immediate action or demanding payment. If 03 7053 9607 called claiming AFP affiliation, treat it as impersonation. The AFP has a dedicated fraud hotline; you can contact them directly (not by calling back the number that called you) to verify any legitimate inquiry. A genuine AFP investigation would not involve threats or demands for immediate money.
The number 0370539607 called and hung up immediately when I answered. Should I call back?
No, do not call back 0370539607. Immediate hang-ups are often used in callback scams to trigger recipients into returning the call, incurring charges on premium lines or allowing scammers to intercept the return call. Two contributors reported this exact behaviour from 03 7053 9607 on the same day, suggesting deliberate targeting. Block the number instead.
I received a solar panel rebate call from 03 7053 9607. Is this a scam?
Unsolicited calls about solar panel rebates are common telemarketing campaigns and may not always be scams, but they are often misleading. One contributor flagged 03 7053 9607 for this pitch. Before engaging, verify the company's ABN independently, never provide banking details during a call, and check whether you previously opted into such offers. If unwanted, register on donotcall.gov.au.
Is 03 7053 9607 a known scam number?
03 7053 9607 (0370539607) has mixed reports rather than a single scam pattern. Five contributors have reported the number for different issues: AFP impersonation, silent calls, and solar panel spam. This suggests either multiple parties misusing the number or a business engaged in aggressive calling tactics. The impersonation claim is the most serious. Treat calls from 03 7053 9607 with caution and verify any official claims independently.
What should I do if I keep getting calls from 0370539607?
If 0370539607 keeps calling you, take these steps: block the number in your phone's settings, do not answer or return calls, and report the number to ACMA (acma.gov.au) if the calls are persistent harassment. Repeated silent calls or hang-ups from 03 7053 9607 may qualify as nuisance calling. Document the dates and times of each call to strengthen your report.
How can I verify if a call from 03 7053 9607 claiming to be official is genuine?
Never trust caller ID or the claims made during an unsolicited call from 03 7053 9607. If someone claims to represent a government agency, police, or major organisation, hang up and call the official organisation directly using a number you find independently (not provided by the caller). For AFP inquiries, use the official AFP phone number on their website, not any number the caller gives you.
