Robocall and Silent Call Reports for 03 9002 4221
Community reports for 03 9002 4221 (also written as 0390024221) describe a consistent pattern of automated or unresponsive calls. Across 19 contributions, the most distinctive feature is the caller's behaviour when answered - either complete silence lasting 20-30 seconds or a brief robotic voice launching into a scripted survey before disconnecting. Multiple contributors attempting to call back 0390024221 have received automated messages stating the number no longer exists or is not in service, suggesting the originating number may not be legitimate or is being spoofed.
The allocation data shows 03 9002 4221 is registered as a local service in Victoria with Primus Telecommunications, though the callback failures and scripted nature of calls raise questions about whether calls are actually originating from this number or being made to appear as such.
What Callers from 03 9002 4221 Do When You Answer
When contributors have answered calls from 03 9002 4221, the experience is notably impersonal. One report describes 20 seconds of silence followed immediately by a scripted survey about cost of living - the contributor noted the interaction "felt off". Another contributor received a robotic voice delivering what they identified as a survey before hanging up. A third report mentions approximately 30 seconds of complete silence with no voice or explanation, then disconnection.
In one notable case, a voicemail was left claiming the contributor could win $1,000 by answering a single question and asking if they were under 58 years old - a classic prize-offer tactic. However, most calls from 0390024221 leave no message at all, with contributors noting no voicemail was deposited and no information provided about the caller's identity or purpose.
Call Patterns and Callback Failures
A significant and recurring detail across multiple reports is the failure of callbacks to 03 9002 4221. Contributors who attempted to return the call received automated messages indicating the number is not in service, doesn't exist, or is disconnected. One contributor reported this pattern occurring every week - calling from 03 9002 4221 appears possible, but the number appears unable to receive incoming calls or is not legitimate. Another contributor explicitly noted that the inability to reach a real person when calling back "suggests the call not from a legitimate source".
One report from late November 2024 speculates the source may be "a call center operating unethically, possibly overseas", based on the pattern of multiple calls with no voicemail and the non-functional callback number. Contributors have consistently blocked 03 9002 4221 after receiving calls, and at least one reported the pattern repeating weekly.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does the number 03 9002 4221 not work when I call it back?
Multiple contributors have reported that attempts to call back 0390024221 result in messages stating the number doesn't exist, is disconnected, or is no longer in service. This is a strong indicator that calls from 03 9002 4221 are either spoofed (the caller is disguising their real number) or originating from an illegitimate operation. Legitimate businesses maintain working callback numbers.
What does it mean when a call from 03 9002 4221 has 20-30 seconds of silence?
Silent calls followed by disconnection are common in robocall operations and are often used to identify active phone numbers for later targeting. The silence on calls from 0390024221 may indicate an automated system checking if a real person answered. Some contributors who waited through the silence report a robotic voice then launched into a scripted survey.
Is the survey from 03 9002 4221 legitimate?
No. Contributors who answered calls from 0390024221 report receiving a robotic voice delivering a scripted survey about cost of living. Legitimate surveys do not use silent pauses followed by robotic voices, and genuine survey organisations would identify themselves clearly. The combination of no callback option and a non-functional number strongly indicates this is not a legitimate research organisation.
What is the $1,000 prize offer voicemail from 03 9002 4221?
One contributor received a voicemail from 0390024221 claiming they could win $1,000 by answering a single question (asking their age). This is a common scam tactic known as a prize offer or giveaway scam. You have not won anything, and these calls are designed to collect personal information or lead you to fraudulent websites. Do not respond to the call or return it.
Why does 03 9002 4221 keep calling every week with no message?
One contributor reported receiving calls from 0390024221 every week with no voicemail left. This pattern suggests automated calling targeting lists. The combination of repeated calls, non-functional callbacks, and no clear purpose indicates this is likely a robocall operation using your number to test for active lines or to harass. Block 03 9002 4221 immediately after the first call.
Should I be concerned about calls from 03 9002 4221 registered to Primus Telecommunications in Victoria?
While 0390024221 is allocated to Primus Telecommunications, the registration alone does not guarantee legitimacy. The 19 community reports describing non-functional callbacks, silent calls, robocalls, and prize offer scams all suggest the number is being misused - either spoofed by scammers or used by an illegitimate operation. Do not trust the registration details. Block the number and report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
