Robocall Survey Bot Reports for 03 8657 0510

Community reports for 03 8657 0510 (also written as 0386570510) predominantly describe automated survey calls using a female robotic voice. Multiple contributors indicate the calls are difficult to hear, feature age-gating questions, and frequently disconnect without completing the survey interaction. Three separate reports specifically identify robocall tactics, while additional reports describe repeated silent calls and hang-ups from the same number.

The number is allocated to Symbio Networks in Victoria and displays characteristics consistent with automated survey distribution rather than human-initiated contact. What distinguishes 0386570510 is the pattern of repeat calling combined with poor audio quality and abrupt disconnections.

What the Survey Bot from 03 8657 0510 Asks

Contributors who engaged with calls from 03 8657 0510 report a consistent script structure. The robocall begins with an age-gating question: "Press one if you are under 58, or press two if you are over 58." Only after this initial screen does the bot proceed to survey questions about the cost of living crisis.

One contributor described the experience in detail: the female robotic voice was barely audible, and when they did not press a number, the system repeated the age question several times before the call disconnected. Another report notes the survey question appeared to be yes/no format, but audio quality made the specific question unclear. A third contributor reported the call "cut off" while attempting to gather their age information.

The pattern suggests the robocall system is dropping calls during the age-qualification phase, preventing many contributors from even reaching the survey content.

The Silent Calls and Repeated Contact Pattern

Beyond the automated survey calls, 0386570510 has generated reports of repeated contact with no audio or message. Several contributors report receiving multiple calls from 03 8657 0510 that go to voicemail or missed call logs, with no message left. One contributor noted "keeps calling but never leaves message, suspect it's a scam." Another stated the number "called several times without leaving a message."

One recent report (July 2025) describes the behaviour as "keeps calling and hangs up without saying anything, so dodgy." The pattern of repeat calling combined with silence suggests two possible scenarios: the robocall system is cycling through contact attempts, or the number may be used for multiple campaign types. The lack of voicemails across dozens of attempts indicates intentional non-engagement.

Call Frequency and Timing

Reports for 03 8657 0510 span over 16 months (August 2024 to March 2026), indicating sustained contact activity. Several contributors report multiple calls over weeks or months from the same number. One contributor received calls across multiple occasions described as "several calls from this number."

Most calls that reached answer occurred during daytime hours (morning and early afternoon), though reports also include early morning calls (5-8 AM) and late evening contact. The Melbourne-based allocation and sustained reporting pattern suggest this is an ongoing campaign rather than a one-time contact attempt.
