Robocall Reports for 03 8370 1063

One contributor has reported receiving an automated robocall from 03 8370 1063 (also written as 0383701063). The caller did not reach the recipient directly, but instead left a voicemail message. The robocall delivered a bilingual message in both English and Chinese, which the contributor found suspicious.

This Victoria-based number, allocated to Powertel Limited as a local service, appears to be operating an automated calling system. The use of multilingual pre-recorded messages is a common tactic employed by robocalls targeting broad demographics, and the fact that the contributor did not pick up before the system left a voicemail suggests indiscriminate dialling.
