Scam and Nuisance Reports for 03 9003 8226
Community reports for 03 9003 8226 (also written as 0390038226) reveal a pattern of aggressive calling behaviour combining multiple tactics. Five contributors have flagged this number, with reports spanning scam impersonation, robocall systems, repeated harassment, and silent calls. The most serious allegation involves ATO (Australian Taxation Office) impersonation, while other reports describe forceful survey attempts and malfunctioning automated systems.
What Callers from 03 9003 8226 Do
Contributors report distinct calling patterns from 0390038226. One report describes repeated calls where the caller varies the last two digits of the phone number, calling multiple times daily while conducting forceful survey attempts and fishing for personal information. Another contributor answered a call from 03 9003 8226 to silence, then called back and reached an automated message claiming to be "solar from australia - your trusted partner in clean energy solutions." This robocall system presented a menu with non-functional options: option 3 claimed to remove the recipient from a list but did not work, and option 1 to leave a message also failed.
Most serious among the reports is an allegation that 03 9003 8226 is a fake ATO number used for impersonation scams. Contributors have also noted the number appears designed for silent call harassment, where the initial ring connects with silence, prompting return calls that reach the malfunctioning robocall system.
Call Patterns and Timing
The harassment from 0390038226 shows consistent intensity. One contributor reported receiving calls daily for several weeks with no clear identification of the caller. Another noted typical "Saturday arvo spamming" patterns. The most aggressive report describes multiple calls per day using number variation tactics, suggesting use of an automated dialler system that cycles through similar numbers to maximize contact attempts.
Contributors report receiving calls across different times, with some contacts being missed calls and others connecting briefly to silence or automated messages. The variation in last-digit numbers (03 9003 82**) across multiple daily calls to the same recipient indicates systematic harassment rather than isolated misdialling.

Rang on a saturday afternoon As If I'd answer this number.
Getting rung daily for a few weeks, no idea who it is
Didn't answer, usual Saturday arvo spamming
Incessantly harassed by (03) 9003 82** (they change the last two numbers and call multiple times a day fishing for information via forceful attempts at a survey.
Got a call from the number, answered to silence. Called back and was greeted with an automated message bit hard to make out the name but it sounded like "solar from australia - your trusted partner in clean energy solutions". Gave an automated menu that doesn't work - option 3 is supposed to take you off a list but does not,1 is supposed to allow you to leave a message, and that didn't work either.
Fake ATO number, don't fall for it

Is 03 9003 8226 really calling from the ATO?
No. One contributor specifically reported 03 9003 8226 as a fake ATO number used for impersonation scams. The real ATO will never threaten immediate arrest or demand payment over the phone.

Why does 03 9003 8226 call multiple times per day?

This tactic maximises the chances of reaching someone while making it harder to block a single number. The changing numbers (03 9003 82**) appear designed to bypass automatic blocking systems.
What happens if I call back 03 9003 8226?
A contributor who called back 0390038226 reached an automated system claiming to represent "solar from australia." The menu options were non-functional - neither the opt-out option nor the message-leaving option worked. Do not call back. If the initial call was silent or to an unknown number, calling back may confirm your number is active and lead to more calls.

Yes. Multiple reports describe 03 9003 8226 calling and connecting to silence, then disconnecting. When a contributor called back 0390038226, they reached a robocall system.
