Callback Request and Spam Reports for 03 7057 2631
Two contributors have flagged calls from 03 7057 2631 (also written as 0370572631), with distinct patterns suggesting different caller tactics. One report indicates a potential callback scam attempt, while another describes an energy comparison call with concerning knowledge of the recipient's personal details.
The callback request report is particularly noteworthy. A contributor answered a call from 0370572631 where the caller asked for their name, then immediately hung up once confirmation was given. This is a classic callback scam setup, where the hang-up is designed to prompt the recipient to call back, potentially incurring premium charges or initiating fraud.
What Callers from 03 7057 2631 Say and Do
Beyond the callback attempt, another contributor reported receiving a call from 03 7057 2631 from someone claiming to represent an energy comparison company. The caller demonstrated detailed knowledge about the recipient's circumstances, which raised immediate suspicion. When the contributor declined the offer and stated they would find their own energy deal, the caller became defensive and huffy, suggesting frustration at losing a potential sale or lead.
The energy comparison call pattern suggests either cold-calling with access to customer data, or potentially a misdirected call from a legitimate provider. However, the aggressive reaction when declined is atypical of standard energy retailers and warrants caution.
Report Patterns and Timing
Both calls to 03 7057 2631 were answered by contributors, occurring within two weeks of each other in late February and early March 2026. The callback request call occurred on 4 March at 11:08 AM, while the energy comparison call was received on 23 February at 10:56 AM. Both occurred during standard business hours, consistent with telemarketing and scam activity patterns.
The number is allocated as a local Victorian service on Symbio Networks infrastructure, which provides legitimacy as a carrier but does not verify the caller's identity or intent.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 7057 2631
If 03 7057 2631 calls you:
- Do not: Confirm your name or personal details to unknown callers, return a call if the line goes dead, or engage with unsolicited energy comparison offers
- Do: Let unknown calls go to voicemail, hang up immediately if someone asks for confirmation then goes silent, block the number after a suspicious call, verify any energy provider communication by calling the provider's official number from your bill
- Be alert: If a caller demonstrates unusual knowledge about your circumstances without you providing that information, this suggests they may have obtained data from elsewhere

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is a callback scam and why did the caller from 03 7057 2631 hang up after I confirmed my name?
A callback scam works by getting you to confirm you're home and willing to answer calls, then deliberately hanging up. The goal is to prompt you to call back, potentially to a premium-rate number that charges you, or to activate a line that the scammer monitors for future contact. The report of 0370572631 hanging up immediately after name confirmation is a textbook callback attempt. Never call back a number that calls you unless you initiated the contact first.
The caller from 03 7057 2631 knew details about me I hadn't shared. How is that possible?
The energy comparison caller from 0370572631 may have obtained your details through data brokers, previous energy provider records, or public directories. However, the fact that they knew this information unprompted, combined with their aggressive reaction when declined, is a warning sign. Legitimate energy retailers do not typically pressure customers or become huffy when offers are refused. Do not assume the caller is legitimate just because they know some details about you.
Should I be concerned about energy comparison calls from 03 7057 2631?
Energy comparison is a legitimate service, but unsolicited calls from 03 7057 2631 warrant caution, especially given the aggressive reaction reported when a contributor declined. If you're interested in energy deals, contact major retailers directly or use official comparison websites rather than accepting unsolicited calls. If you receive future calls from 0370572631, you can register with the Do Not Call Register and report the number to the ACMA.
What should I do if 0370572631 calls me?
Do not answer unknown numbers from 03 7057 2631. If it rings, let it go to voicemail. If you do answer and the caller asks for confirmation of your name then goes silent, hang up immediately and block the number. Do not return the call. If the caller identifies as being from an energy company, end the call and contact the company directly using the number on your bill to verify the call was legitimate.
Is 03 7057 2631 a legitimate business number?
The number 0370572631 is allocated as a local Victorian service through Symbio Networks, a legitimate carrier. However, carriers do not control who uses the number or what they claim to be. The reports from contributors suggest the number is being used for callback scam attempts and potentially high-pressure energy sales, so it should not be trusted based on carrier allocation alone.
Where can I report 03 7057 2631 if I receive a suspicious call?
Report calls from 0370572631 to the ACMA at acma.gov.au if you suspect callback scam activity, or to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au if you believe it's a scam. You can also register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. Sharing your experience on Reverseau helps warn other Australians about this number.
