Telstra Impersonation Report for 03 9003 3339
A contributor has reported receiving a call from 03 9003 3339 (also written as 0390033339) in which the caller impersonated a Telstra representative. The caller knew the recipient's name and used it to establish false credibility, claiming to contact them about their Telstra Internet service. However, the contributor has no active Telstra Internet account, indicating the caller was either working from inaccurate data or testing the number for engagement before escalating their approach.
This tactic of name-dropping and false service affiliation is a common initial strategy in telecom impersonation scams. Callers from 0390033339 may follow up with claims about service issues, account problems, or billing disputes designed to trick recipients into providing personal or payment information.
What the Caller from 03 9003 3339 Said

The caller made a claim about the recipient's Internet service, despite the recipient having no such service with Telstra. This mismatch between the caller's narrative and the recipient's actual account status is a red flag typical of impersonation scams.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do if 03 9003 3339 calls claiming to be from Telstra?
Hang up immediately. Do not confirm your name, account details, or any personal information. Call Telstra directly on 13 2200 using a number you look up independently to check if there are genuine issues with your account. Never call back a number provided by the incoming caller from 0390033339.
How do I know if a Telstra call is legitimate?
Legitimate Telstra representatives will never ask for passwords, payment details, or PIN codes during an unsolicited call. If someone from 03 9003 3339 or any unknown number claims to be Telstra, end the call and dial Telstra's official customer service line (13 2200) to verify. Real Telstra staff expect you to do this.
Can I block calls from 03 9003 3339?
Yes. Most mobile phones have a built-in block feature. Open the call history, find 0390033339, and select 'Block' or 'Report as Spam'. This prevents future calls from 03 9003 3339 from reaching you. Blocking does not prevent the caller from trying other numbers, but it removes this specific number from your incoming calls.
Why would a scammer call claiming to know my name?
Scammers often use publicly available information or data from previous breaches to build false credibility. When a caller from 03 9003 3339 uses your name and mentions a service like Telstra, it's designed to make the call seem legitimate so you'll engage further and eventually share sensitive information. Don't assume accuracy of personal details means legitimacy.
What if I don't have a Telstra account but received this call?
That's actually a good sign you can easily hang up. If 0390033339 calls about a service you don't use, it's almost certainly a scam or wrong number. Hang up immediately. Do not provide any information that might confirm you're a real person on this number, as scammers use confirmed numbers for future targeting.
Where do I report impersonation calls like this one from 03 9003 3339?
Report to ACMA (acma.gov.au) for phone-based scams, Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) for fraud details, and directly to Telstra (13 2200) to alert them to impersonation using their brand. Each report strengthens the evidence against 0390033339 and helps other Australians stay safe.
