Tech Support Impersonation Reports for 03 9003 4595
Three contributors have reported suspicious activity from 03 9003 4595 (also written as 0390034595), with a clear pattern emerging around technology-based deception. One recent report describes a caller claiming to be from Melbourne who specifically mentioned issues with the recipient's IP address, then requested access to a computer and browser. When the contributor declined and questioned the caller, they hung up immediately.
The variety of tactics used from 0390034595 suggests a larger operation testing different approaches. Alongside the tech support impersonation attempt, contributors have also received silent calls and robocalls from this number, indicating a coordinated campaign rather than isolated incidents.
What Callers from 03 9003 4595 Have Attempted
The tech support angle is the most specific scam attempt reported from 03 9003 4595. The caller claimed affiliation with Melbourne and used the pretext of addressing an IP address problem to gain trust. The request to enable speaker phone and open a browser is a classic remote access scam technique, designed to allow the scammer to take control of the recipient's device and access sensitive information or install malware.
Beyond this direct impersonation attempt, contributors have also experienced silent calls from 0390034595 where the caller provided an awkward silence before hanging up after being questioned. One contributor noted this polite demeanour was confusing but ultimately untrustworthy. Additionally, a robocall with heavy background noise from 03 9003 4595 was reported, suggesting the use of automated dialling systems typical of call centre operations.
Report Patterns and Call Behaviour
The three reports from 03 9003 4595 occurred over a three-week period in January and early February, suggesting this number is actively being used for multiple scam tactics. One contributor reported receiving a robocall from this number and then being called again approximately one month later, indicating the number may cycle through victim lists or be shared across multiple scam operations.
The mix of silent calls, robocalls, and direct impersonation attempts from 0390034595 shows flexibility in approach. Contributors received these calls at different times, with one answered call at just after midnight, suggesting round-the-clock dialling patterns with no regard for reasonable calling hours.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do if someone from 03 9003 4595 asks me to open a browser or enable remote access?
Hang up immediately. This is a classic remote access scam tactic. Legitimate tech support companies, including Microsoft and Apple, will never cold call asking for remote access. Contributors who received calls from 0390034595 claiming to be from Melbourne and requesting browser access were targeted by scammers attempting to steal personal information or install malware. Do not follow any instructions from 03 9003 4595.
Is 0390034595 definitely a scam?
Community reports from 03 9003 4595 include tech support impersonation, silent calls, and robocalls. One contributor specifically declined a request for remote access and the caller hung up immediately. The combination of these tactics and the impersonation attempt clearly indicates scam activity. If 0390034595 calls you, treat it as untrustworthy and do not engage.
Why did I receive a silent call followed by a robocall from 03 9003 4595?
Contributors have reported both silent calls and robocalls from 0390034595, sometimes with a month between them. This pattern suggests the number is being used by a call centre operation testing different approaches to see which ones get answered. Silent calls and robocalls are often used to identify active phone numbers for targeting. Block 03 9003 4595 to prevent further attempts.
Should I call back a number that called me from 03 9003 4595?
No. Do not return calls to 0390034595 or any unknown number that calls you. Contributors who engaged with callers from 03 9003 4595 reported the callers attempting to gain access to their computers and personal information. Returning the call confirms your number is active and may lead to more aggressive scam attempts. Let it go to voicemail instead.
What does it mean if 03 9003 4595 calls me with background noise and I can barely hear anything?
A robocall from 0390034595 with heavy background noise indicates automated dialling from a call centre. These calls are often part of large-scale scam campaigns where multiple numbers are dialled simultaneously. The background noise is typical of call centre environments where many agents are on calls at once. Block 03 9003 4595 and do not answer if it calls again.
