Suspicious Call from 03 8747 3735
A single contributor has reported a suspicious call from 03 8747 3735 (also written as 0387473735), a local service number allocated to Symbio Networks in Victoria. The caller had a female Indian accent and disconnected the call when the recipient asked who was calling.
The number 0387473735 is registered as a local-service line rather than a typical mobile or business number, which may indicate spoofing or use of a VoIP service. The immediate hang-up when challenged is a common pattern in unsolicited calling campaigns where callers screen for engaged or responsive numbers.
What Happened During the Call
The contributor answered a call from 03 8747 3735 and was greeted by a female voice with an Indian accent. When asked to identify herself or her purpose, the caller did not respond and the line went dead. This type of behaviour - where callers disconnect upon being questioned - often suggests the call was part of an automated outreach effort or a scam screening operation testing whether the number is active.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 8747 3735
If 03 8747 3735 calls you:
- Do not: Provide personal information, financial details, or confirm your identity to unknown callers
- Do: Let suspicious calls go to voicemail, hang up if the caller cannot identify themselves, and block the number if it calls again
- Do: Use your phone's call screening or "Silence Unknown Callers" feature if available on your device
Callers who hang up when challenged are rarely legitimate. Government agencies, banks, and service providers will always identify themselves when asked directly.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did the caller hang up when I asked who they were?
The contributor's experience with 03 8747 3735 suggests the caller was either testing whether the number was active and monitored, or was unable to proceed with a scripted pitch once challenged. Legitimate callers from banks, government, and service providers will always identify themselves. If a caller disconnects when asked for identification, that is a strong warning sign.
Is 03 8747 3735 a real business number?
The number 0387473735 is allocated as a local-service line to Symbio Networks in Victoria. However, allocation does not guarantee the caller was calling on behalf of that organisation. Numbers are frequently spoofed or misused by scammers and robocalling campaigns, so a legitimate allocation does not mean the call was legitimate.
What does the 03 area code tell me about this number?
The 03 prefix indicates 03 8747 3735 is registered to Victoria. However, with modern VoIP and number spoofing technology, callers can mask their true origin. Do not assume a Victorian number is calling from Victoria or is related to a Victorian business.
Should I call 03 8747 3735 back?
No. Do not call 0387473735 back. If a caller hangs up when challenged, calling them back may confirm your number is monitored and active, leading to more calls. If you need to verify a call, contact the organisation directly using a phone number from their official website.
What should I do if 03 8747 3735 calls me multiple times?
If you receive repeated calls from 0387473735, block the number on your phone. You can also register with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au and file a complaint with ACMA at acma.gov.au if the calls continue.
Is one report enough to warn about 03 8747 3735?
One report of suspicious behaviour is worth noting, especially since the caller's immediate hang-up when asked for identification is a recognised pattern in scam and unsolicited calling campaigns. However, limited reports mean limited data on the caller's intent. If you experience calls from 0387473735, adding your report to Reverseau helps build a clearer community picture of this number's behaviour.
