Silent Call Reports for 03 8905 1350
One contributor has reported a silent call from 03 8905 1350 (also written as 0389051350). The caller answered the phone but remained silent, then disconnected without speaking. When the contributor attempted to call back the number 0389051350, they encountered only dead air - no ring tone, no voicemail, no connection.
This type of silent call behaviour is commonly associated with callback scams or automated dialling systems testing active phone numbers. The fact that a callback to 03 8905 1350 produced dead air rather than a functioning line suggests the number may have been spoofed or is being used as part of a scam operation.
Callback Scam Risks
Silent calls followed by dead air on callback are a known scam tactic. Callers may be attempting to trick you into returning the call so they can:
- Connect you to a premium rate line and charge your account
- Capture your phone number and voice for identity theft purposes
- Trigger automated billing systems
- Gather information about call patterns for social engineering attacks
The contributor's experience with 03 8905 1350 - answering only to hear silence, then dead air on callback - fits this pattern precisely.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is a silent call and why did 03 8905 1350 do this?
A silent call is when someone rings but says nothing when you answer. The contributor who received a call from 03 8905 1350 experienced this exact behaviour. Silent calls are often used by scammers to identify active phone numbers or test callback vulnerability. The fact that calling back 0389051350 produced only dead air suggests this was likely an automated or spoofed number used in a scam operation.
Should I try to call back 03 8905 1350?
No. Do not call back 03 8905 1350 under any circumstances. The contributor who tried calling back 0389051350 encountered dead air, which indicates the number is either spoofed, disconnected, or leads to a premium service designed to charge your account. Returning the call could result in unexpected charges or expose you to further scam tactics.
Could 03 8905 1350 be a legitimate business testing their phone lines?
Unlikely. Legitimate businesses do not make silent calls and then provide dead air when called back. The behaviour from 03 8905 1350 - answering silently then disconnecting, combined with an inoperative callback line to 0389051350 - is characteristic of automated callback scam systems. Genuine companies always greet callers with their business name and purpose.
Is this a robocall from 03 8905 1350?
The silent call from 03 8905 1350 could indicate a robocall operation.

The dead air response when the contributor tried calling back 0389051350 supports this theory.
