What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9003 8271

If 03 9003 8271 calls you:

• Do not: Engage with the caller, provide personal details, or agree to participate in surveys
• Do: Let the call go to voicemail, block the number immediately after hanging up, and report it if you answer
• If they call again: From 0390038271 or a similar number (like 03 9003 8210), block that variation as well - do not assume it's a different caller
