Robocall Reports for 03 8370 1052

Three contributors have reported automated calls and messages from 03 8370 1052 (also written as 0383701052), all exhibiting robocall characteristics. The pattern involves pre-recorded messages with language selection prompts, specifically requesting callers press 1 for English or 2 for Chinese. This type of automated outreach combined with language routing is a common robocall tactic used to sort and target recipients.

The number is allocated to Powertel Limited, a local service provider in Victoria. All three reports arrived within a 24-hour window in early February, suggesting the robocall campaign may be active during specific periods. Contributors who received calls from 0383701052 have all taken action to block the number, indicating frustration with the repeated contact attempts.

What Callers from 03 8370 1052 Say

The pre-recorded message from 03 8370 1052 begins with a partial instruction asking recipients to select their language preference. One contributor reported the message stated "update online pls press 1 for English and press 2 for Chinese." Another received the same language prompt via SMS. A third contributor answered a live call and heard a pre-recorded message about updating health insurance, suggesting the robocall may progress to insurance-related content if the initial language selection is completed.

The repetition of the language selection prompt across both voicemail and SMS channels indicates this is an automated system designed to reach multiple contact points. The health insurance reference in one report suggests potential connection to financial services or insurance scams, though contributors blocked the number before hearing the full message content.

Report Patterns and Timing

All three reports about 03 8370 1052 arrived within a 48-hour period from 8-9 February 2026.

The timing suggests this may be a coordinated outreach push rather than isolated spam.

Contributors reported consistent blocking responses. One noted receiving 2-3 calls daily from this number before taking action, while others blocked immediately upon recognising the automated format. The SMS variant of the same message indicates the robocall operator may be using both telephony and messaging infrastructure to reach targets.
