Silent Call and Robocall Reports for 03 7068 5839

Fifteen contributors have reported unwanted contact from 03 7068 5839 (also written as 0370685839), a Melbourne-based local service number. The primary pattern involves silent calls where callers either hang up immediately or remain silent when answered. A secondary pattern includes at least one automated robocall impersonating an Australian Research Centre survey.

Multiple contributors describe calling 0370685839 back only to reach an "out of service" message, despite the number's ability to call out. This disconnect between apparent unavailability and active calling behaviour raises fraud concerns among contributors. The consistent silence and non-engagement when answered, combined with repeated call attempts, suggests automated dialling patterns rather than legitimate contact attempts.

What Callers from 03 7068 5839 Do

Contributors who answered calls from 03 7068 5839 report two distinct patterns. The most common involves picking up to silence or whispers at the other end, with callers hanging up when questioned or when the recipient speaks. One contributor noted receiving four separate calls from this number within a short timeframe, each with identical silent behaviour.

A second pattern involves an automated voicemail message claiming affiliation with the Australian Research Centre and referencing a cost of living survey. This robocall suggests the number may be used for automated campaign dialling, though contributors did not report engaging with the full message content.

Several contributors describe the call pattern as deliberate rings designed to provoke return calls to 0370685839, only to encounter the "not in service" message when calling back. This callback scam indicator appears in multiple reports and suggests potential number spoofing or call routing manipulation.

Call Patterns and Timing

Reports for 03 7068 5839 span from May 2024 through October 2025, indicating persistent activity over an extended period.

One contributor specifically reported receiving two to four calls from 03 7068 5839 in quick succession. The spacing between reports (ranging from weeks to months) suggests either ongoing activity or recurrent use of the same number by different operators.
