Robocall and Suspicious Activity Reports for 03 7068 8738

Community contributors have reported 18 incidents involving 03 7068 8738 (also written as 0370688738), with a clear pattern of automated and evasive calling behaviour. The number is registered as a local service in Victoria through Symbio Networks. Multiple reports indicate that when recipients attempt to return calls to 03 7068 8738, they receive an "out of service" or "not in service" message, a hallmark of spoofed or rotating number tactics.

Three separate contributors specifically reported robocalls from 0370688738, with one describing an automated survey claiming to be from "Tess" at the Australian Research Centre asking about cost of living. Another contributor received what they described as a "computer system" message about courier services, with the caller claiming it was illegal for businesses to make unreturnable calls. The inability to return calls to 03 7068 8738 combined with automated messaging suggests deliberate anonymity measures.

What Callers from 03 7068 8738 Are Doing

Reports reveal two distinct calling patterns from 0370688738. The first involves automated surveys attempting to extract personal information. One contributor answered a call from 03 7068 8738 that presented as an automated cost-of-living survey with questions designed to "dig into personal details." Another report described an automated survey attributed to "Tess at Australian Research Centre," indicating a potentially false identity paired with the robocall.

The second pattern involves silent or callback-bait calls. Multiple contributors reported missed calls from 03 7068 8738 with no voicemail left, calls that ring through and hang up before connection, and the consistent result of "not in service" when attempting to return the call. One contributor noted that callers from 0370688738 "seem to want to reach me but no info left." Several reports mention the caller using different numbers repeatedly, forcing contributors to block multiple variations.

Report Patterns and Timing

The reports span from October 2024 to November 2025, showing sustained activity over more than a year. The majority of incidents involve missed calls or answered calls with automated content, suggesting systematic dialling campaigns rather than targeted contact. One contributor received calls to a data-only SIM card, indicating the system may be mass-dialling without verification of line type.

A notable pattern emerges in reports from October 2024, where multiple contributors within days of each other reported the same evasive behaviour: calls that cannot be returned, repeated contact, and blocking as the primary response. Several contributors explicitly stated they blocked 03 7068 8738 after one or two encounters, while others reported it cycling through different numbers, forcing repeated blocking actions.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 7068 8738

Based on contributor experiences with 0370688738:

• Do not: Answer calls from unknown numbers, attempt to return calls to 03 7068 8738 (you will likely reach a dead line), or engage with automated prompts asking for personal details
• Do: Let calls go to voicemail, block the number immediately in your phone's settings, and block any similar numbers if they call repeatedly
• If you answered: Do not provide any personal or financial information. If asked to "press 1" or respond to an automated prompt, hang up immediately
