One contributor has reported receiving a spam call from 03 9003 3317 (also written as 0390033317) where the caller falsely claimed to represent Telstra.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I call back a number if someone from 03 9003 3317 asked me to?
No. Do not call back 0390033317 or any number provided by an unsolicited caller claiming to be from Telstra. Legitimate companies never ask you to call them back on numbers they provide during cold calls. Instead, hang up and call Telstra using the number on your official bill or their verified website.
What information should I never give to a caller from 03 9003 3317?
Never provide: your full name, address, date of birth, account number, PIN or password, credit card or bank details, or answers to security questions. Telstra employees will never ask for passwords or PINs during unsolicited calls. If 0390033317 calls requesting this information, end the call immediately.
How can I confirm this is really Telstra calling, not 03 9003 3317?
Always hang up the call and contact Telstra yourself using the phone number on your bill, your Telstra invoice, or the official Telstra website. Never use contact details provided by the caller. Real Telstra representatives expect you to verify their identity this way.
What should I do if I already gave information to the caller from 0390033317?
Contact Telstra immediately using the number on your bill to report the call and explain what information you shared. If you provided bank or credit card details, contact your financial institution to alert them of potential fraud. You can also report the call to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Why would someone impersonate Telstra when calling 03 9003 3317?
Impersonating Telstra is effective because most Australians have a relationship with Telstra and are more likely to trust a caller claiming to represent them. Scammers use this trust to bypass a person's natural caution and obtain sensitive information or payment details before the target realises it's a scam.
How do I block calls from 03 9003 3317 on my phone?
Most Australian mobile phones allow you to block numbers directly. On iPhone, open the call log, find 0390033317, tap the information icon, and select 'Block this Caller'.
