A single contributor has reported receiving a call from 03 7064 8407 (also written as 0370648407) involving impersonation tactics and requests for personal information. The caller demonstrated knowledge of the recipient's name and made claims about passport theft, suggesting possible data harvesting or social engineering attempt.
What the Caller from 03 7064 8407 Said
According to the report, the caller from 0370648407 already knew the recipient's name, then made rambling claims about someone stealing the recipient's passport. Rather than presenting as an official government agency or service provider, the caller's approach was vague and disorganised, potentially designed to create confusion or panic that might lead to information disclosure.
This tactic of referencing stolen identity documents is commonly used to pressure targets into verifying personal details or providing additional information. The caller's possession of the recipient's name suggests the number may be part of a broader targeting campaign rather than a random cold call.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did the caller from 03 7064 8407 already know my name?
The caller's knowledge of your name suggests your contact details may have been sourced from a data breach, a purchased contact list, or a previous scam targeting campaign. This is a common impersonation tactic used to make the call seem legitimate or urgent. Do not assume the caller represents any official organisation just because they know your name. Always verify independently by calling the organisation directly using a number from their official website, not one provided by the caller.
What should I do if 0370648407 calls about my passport?
Hang up immediately and do not engage with the caller's claims. If you have genuine concerns about your passport, contact the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade directly through their official website or phone number (not the one calling you from 03 7064 8407). Check your passport's physical condition and your myGov account for any suspicious activity. Do not provide any passport details or personal information to someone who called you unexpectedly.
Is 03 7064 8407 a legitimate government number?
Based on the community report, 0370648407 appears to be a scam number using impersonation tactics. The caller's rambling, vague approach and immediate requests for personal information are red flags that this is not a legitimate government agency. Official government agencies do not typically call to ask you to confirm identity details. If you need to contact a government service, find their official number on their website and call them directly.
Should I call 03 7064 8407 back if I missed the call?
No, you should not call back 0370648407. Calling back numbers that match this scam pattern can confirm your number is active and lead to more calls. If you're concerned about a legitimate matter (such as your passport), contact the relevant government agency directly using an official number from their website. Blocking 03 7064 8407 is a safer option than returning the call.
How do I block 03 7064 8407 on my phone?
On most Australian phones, you can block 0370648407 by finding the number in your call history, selecting 'Block' or 'Add to blocked list,' and confirming. Most Android phones allow blocking through the Phone app's recent calls list. iPhone users can swipe left on the recent call and select 'Block this Caller.' You can also contact your phone provider (in this case, Symbio Networks Pty Ltd) and ask them to block the number at the network level to prevent calls from reaching your phone.
What is Symbio Networks and why is 03 7064 8407 allocated to them?
Symbio Networks Pty Ltd is a telecommunications provider in Victoria. However, a number being allocated to a telecommunications provider does not mean Symbio Networks is responsible for the scam call. Phone numbers are often hijacked, spoofed, or misused by scammers who are not the legitimate account holder. Report 03 7064 8407 to Symbio Networks and to ACMA so they can investigate whether the number is being misused or if there are account security issues.
