Silent Calls and Suspicious SMS from 03 9003 3371
Two contributors have reported suspicious activity from 03 9003 3371 (also written as 0390033371).

What Contributors Experienced with 0390033371
A contributor who answered a call from 03 9003 3371 encountered complete silence for approximately 3 seconds before the line went dead. This pattern is consistent with automated callback scams, where silence is used to trigger curiosity and prompt return calls.
In a separate incident, another contributor received an SMS message claiming they had missed a call from 0390033371, but their phone showed no incoming call history. This disconnect between the SMS claim and actual call records is a red flag for spoofed messages designed to manipulate recipients into returning a call to an unfamiliar number.

The two reports span early January 2026, with the silent call occurring on 5 January and the suspicious SMS on 12 January. Both incidents suggest this number may be part of an automated calling campaign or callback scam operation, though the limited report volume means patterns are still emerging as more contributors provide feedback.
