Spam Reports for 03 9017 6001
One contributor has reported receiving calls from 03 9017 6001 (also written as 0390176001), a local service number allocated to Symbio Networks in Victoria. The report describes rapid sequential calling behaviour, with calls arriving to both mobile and landline numbers within minutes of each other, and no voicemail message left behind.
This calling pattern is consistent with automated spam dialling systems that attempt multiple contact channels simultaneously.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did 03 9017 6001 call both my mobile and landline?
The contributor's experience suggests automated spam systems that dial multiple contact numbers simultaneously to maximise connection rates. The sequential calls within minutes indicate the same organisation or spam operation attempting to reach the same person through different channels. This targeting approach is typical of large-scale spam campaigns using data matching to link multiple phone numbers to individual households.
Should I call back 03 9017 6001 to find out who called?
No. The fact that no voicemail message was left is a strong indicator the caller has no legitimate reason to contact you. Calling back 0390176001 confirms your number is active and may result in more calls. If the number is legitimate, they will leave a message or contact you through official channels.
What does it mean that 0390176001 is allocated to Symbio Networks?
The number 03 9017 6001 is registered to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd, a telecommunications provider in Victoria. However, phone numbers can be spoofed or used by third-party organisations. The allocation shows the number's registered origin, but doesn't confirm the actual caller's identity. Symbio Networks itself may not be responsible for the spam calls.
Is 03 9017 6001 a scam or just spam?
Based on the community report, 03 9017 6001 appears to be spam rather than a targeted scam. The caller left no message and made no attempt to manipulate the recipient. Spam calls are typically high-volume automated dialling campaigns, whereas scams involve specific fraudulent claims. However, always treat unknown callers with caution.
How can I block 0390176001 on my phone?
Most smartphones allow you to block numbers directly from your call history or contacts. On iPhone, open the call log, tap the information icon next to 03 9017 6001, and select 'Block this Caller'. On Android, open the Phone app, press and hold the number 0390176001, and select 'Block number'. You can also enable 'Filter Unknown Senders' or 'Spam Protection' in your phone settings.
Should I report 03 9017 6001 to the Do Not Call Register?
Registering your number with the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) is a preventative step that reduces telemarketing calls, though spam operations often ignore it. For reporting the specific number 03 9017 6001 that has already contacted you, use the ACMA's reporting portal at acma.gov.au. The Do Not Call Register protects your number from legitimate telemarketers, while ACMA handles reported spam and scam numbers.
