Robocall and Callback Scam Reports for 03 8000 9147

Two contributors have reported suspicious activity from 03 8000 9147 (also written as 0380009147), with patterns consistent with a callback scam operation. The number is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd in Victoria, but community reports indicate the actual calls do not originate from legitimate service operations.

One contributor identified the caller as promoting Symbio network products through deceptive tactics. When callers from 03 8000 9147 are called back, they use a pre-recorded message stating 'we're sorry, the number you have called cannot be connected at this time'. This is a classic callback scam indicator, designed to frustrate return calls and obscure the caller's identity.

What Callers from 03 8000 9147 Do

The robocall from 0380009147 uses a recorded message rather than a live operator. According to one report, the call connects briefly then disconnects after a few rings without leaving a voicemail. This behaviour is typical of callback lure campaigns, where the goal is to prompt recipients to return the call rather than deliver a genuine message.

When you attempt to call 03 8000 9147 back, the pre-recorded response blocks further contact. This creates a dead-end that prevents contributors from confirming who initiated the call or what the original intent was. The contributor noted this is 'not a call from Victoria' despite the local number allocation, suggesting number spoofing or misuse of the Symbio Networks line.

Call Patterns and Timing

Reports about 03 8000 9147 show brief, silent calls with no voicemail left. One contributor reported receiving a call that rang four times then ended abruptly. Another received the robocall and, upon answering, heard only the pre-recorded disconnection message. Both calls occurred within a 48-hour window in late June, though the frequency and targeting pattern are unclear from available reports.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 8000 9147
