One contributor reports relentless calls from 03 7054 2396 (0370542396) with repeated number variation after blocking-classic nuisance caller behaviour.
Persistent Nuisance Reports for 03 7054 2396
A contributor has flagged 03 7054 2396 (also written as 0370542396) for persistent, unwanted calling behaviour. The report describes a pattern where calls continue after blocking, with the caller systematically varying digits to circumvent the block and resume contact. This type of escalating nuisance activity suggests deliberate evasion rather than accidental repeated dialling.
The number is allocated as a local service through NetSIP Pty Ltd in Victoria, though the allocation itself does not indicate the caller's actual identity or intent. The contributor's experience with 0370542396 represents a deliberate effort to maintain contact despite explicit rejection through blocking.
The Calling Pattern Behind 03 7054 2396
According to the report about 03 7054 2396, the caller does not appear to be making a single mistake or technical error. Instead, the behaviour indicates intentional number manipulation-each time the contributor blocks one variant, a slightly different number is used to re-establish contact. This tactic is common among persistent telemarketers, debt collectors, or individuals engaged in harassment.
The fact that 0370542396 callers adjust their approach after being blocked rather than moving to a different target altogether suggests either automated systems with number generation capabilities or deliberate manual variation by someone determined to reach this particular person.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 03 7054 2396 keep calling even after I block it?
According to the contributor report, the caller behind 03 7054 2396 appears to be deliberately changing a digit or two each time to bypass your block. This is intentional evasion, not a coincidence. When you block 0370542396, they may try 0370542397 or 0370542395 next. This behaviour indicates either automated number generation by a robocalling system or deliberate manual variation by a persistent individual. It's not accidental.
Is 0370542396 a legitimate local business number?
The number 0370542396 is allocated as a local service through NetSIP Pty Ltd in Victoria, but allocation alone doesn't confirm legitimacy. NetSIP is a VoIP provider, meaning anyone with an account can make calls appear to come from 03 7054 2396. The contributor's report of number-variation after blocking suggests the caller is deliberately evading contact restrictions, which is not typical behaviour of legitimate businesses.
What should I do if I've already answered a call from 03 7054 2396?
If you've spoken to someone from 03 7054 2396, do not give them any personal information in future calls. If the caller asked for details like your bank account, Medicare number, or payment information, contact the relevant organisation directly (your bank, Medicare) to verify whether the call was genuine. Then block 0370542396 immediately. If the calls continue after blocking, report the pattern to ACMA and your phone provider as harassment.
Can I block 03 7054 2396 and all variations at once?
Most phone providers allow you to block individual numbers, but blocking all variations of 0370542396 would require blocking many numbers. However, your carrier may support range blocking or provide a harassment filter. Contact your phone provider directly and describe the pattern-that 03 7054 2396 changes one digit at a time. They can often apply network-level filtering for persistent harassment patterns.
Is this number being used by scammers or just telemarketers?
The single report about 03 7054 2396 describes nuisance calling with deliberate number evasion, but doesn't specify whether the caller is a telemarketer, debt collector, or someone else. The behaviour of changing digits after blocking is persistent and unwanted, which qualifies as harassment. Report it to ACMA regardless of the underlying caller type.
Where can I report this persistent calling from 0370542396?
Report 0370542396 to ACMA at acma.gov.au for telecommunications harassment. If the calling pattern includes threats or escalates beyond nuisance calling, contact your local police. Also report the number pattern to your phone provider so they can flag it on their network. Contributing your report to Reverseau helps other Australians recognise 03 7054 2396 as a persistent nuisance caller.
