Personal Information Request Reports for 03 8613 9309
Six contributors have reported calls from 03 8613 9309 (also written as 0386139309), with a clear pattern of callers attempting to extract personal information. Two separate reports specifically mention callers asking contributors to verify or provide personal details, while a third report describes an impersonation attempt where the caller claimed authority and became evasive when questioned. This Telstra-allocated local service number in Victoria has generated multiple reports spanning from June through April.
The most concerning aspect of reports about 0386139309 is the combination of personal information requests with impersonation tactics. One contributor described an interaction where a caller with an Indian accent asked them to verify details, then immediately hung up when the contributor requested clarification about the caller's identity and purpose.
What Callers from 03 8613 9309 Say and Do
Reports paint a picture of callers using vague pretexts to gather personal information. One contributor reported receiving a call where the caller simply asked for personal information without identifying themselves or their organisation. Another report mentions a caller who appeared to be following a script, claiming to need details verified, but hanging up abruptly when pressed for more information.
A separate report suggests a possible connection to utility billing, with one contributor noting the call was probably about paying a bill, though they remained uncertain about the caller's actual intent. Notably, one report from August mentions a call claiming to be from AGL, suggesting the caller may be impersonating known utility providers to gain credibility and persuade contributors to share details.
The pattern of calls from 03 8613 9309 escalates from single interactions to harassment. One contributor reported being pestered multiple times per day, indicating systematic targeting rather than random calling.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why is 03 8613 9309 asking for my personal information?
Community reports indicate callers from 03 8613 9309 (0386139309) are attempting to collect personal details under false pretexts. One report describes an impersonation caller, while others mention vague requests to 'verify details' without clearly stating the organisation or purpose. This is a common scam tactic to gather information for identity theft, account takeover, or fraud. Never provide personal information to callers unless you initiated the contact and have independently verified their identity.
Is 03 8613 9309 from AGL?
While one contributor reported a call they believed was from AGL, this cannot be confirmed. The caller may have been impersonating AGL to gain credibility and persuade you to share information. If you have an AGL account and receive a call from 0386139309 claiming to be from AGL, hang up and call AGL directly using the number on your bill or their official website. Legitimate utility companies do not call unexpectedly asking you to verify personal details.
What should I do if 03 8613 9309 keeps calling me?
One contributor reported being pestered multiple times per day from 0386139309 and mentioned they were about to block the number. Your best immediate action is to block 03 8613 9309 on your phone to prevent further calls. Then report the harassment to your telecommunications provider (Telstra in this case, as the number is Telstra-allocated) and file a complaint with ACMA at acma.gov.au describing the repeated calls and information requests.
Why did the caller from 03 8613 9309 hang up when I asked questions?
A contributor reported that a caller from 0386139309 claiming to need details verified hung up immediately when questioned about their identity and purpose. This is a red flag behaviour indicating the caller was attempting a scam. Legitimate organisations can quickly and clearly identify themselves and explain why they're calling. Scammers often disconnect when challenged because they cannot provide legitimate answers. If a caller hangs up when you ask basic verification questions, the call was almost certainly fraudulent.
How can I verify if a call from 03 8613 9309 is legitimate?
Do not attempt to verify the caller by returning the call to 0386139309. Instead, if the caller claims to be from a bank, utility company, or government agency, hang up and independently call that organisation using the contact details from your official account documents or their website. For unknown callers claiming authority, this independent verification is the only reliable way to confirm legitimacy. Multiple reports about 03 8613 9309 show callers using impersonation and evasion tactics, so do not trust their claims.
Should I report 03 8613 9309 to authorities?
Yes. If you received a call from 0386139309 asking for personal information or claiming to represent an organisation, report it to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and to ACMA at acma.gov.au. These agencies track scam patterns and coordinate with telecommunications providers to take action.
