Silent Calls and Callback Traps from 03 9022 0435
Six contributors have reported calls from 03 9022 0435 (also written as 0390220435) that follow a consistent pattern: the number calls but leaves no voicemail message. This Melbourne-based number appears to use a callback trap tactic where repeated calls are designed to prompt people to return the call, only to hear a message stating the call cannot be connected.
One contributor documented this specific behaviour, noting that 03 9022 0435 calls 2 or 3 times when unanswered, and when you call back, the system responds with "This call cannot be connected". This is a known scam technique designed to trigger callbacks to premium-rate lines or collect engagement data.
Call Patterns from 0390220435
Contributors report that calls from 03 9022 0435 arrive as missed calls without accompanying voicemail. Several people described receiving multiple calls over time, with one contributor noting "loads of missed calls from Melbourne number" with "nothing left behind". The repeated nature of these calls, combined with the refusal to leave any message, suggests deliberate targeting rather than accidental misdialling.
All six reports describe calls rather than SMS contact. The pattern of persistence combined with silence points toward automated or semi-automated calling systems designed to generate callbacks rather than actual business communication.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9022 0435
If 0390220435 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, as this may connect you to a premium service, confirm your number is active, or trigger further contact

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 03 9022 0435 keep calling but never leave a message?
This is a known callback trap tactic. The number 0390220435 calls repeatedly to trigger you into calling back, where you'll hear 'This call cannot be connected' - a response designed to confirm your number is active or connect you to a premium service. Contributors report this pattern consistently, with no legitimate voicemail ever left.
What happens if I call back 03 9022 0435?
Based on contributor reports, calling 0390220435 back will result in a message stating 'This call cannot be connected'. This response confirms your number is active to the caller's system and may trigger further contact attempts. Multiple contributors recommend not calling back at all.
Is 0390220435 a legitimate business number?
The pattern reported for 03 9022 0435 - repeated silent calls, no voicemail, and a callback trap - is not consistent with legitimate business behaviour. Genuine businesses leave voicemail messages explaining their reason for calling. All six community reports describe suspicious activity, and no legitimate purpose has been identified.
How do I block 03 9022 0435 permanently?
On most Australian phones, you can block 0390220435 by opening the call history, selecting the number 03 9022 0435, and choosing 'Block' or 'Add to Reject List'. iPhone users can mark it as spam, and Android users can block it in their contacts. Contributors report this stops the repeated calls effectively.
Should I report 03 9022 0435 to the authorities?
Yes. Silent calls and callback traps are breaches of the Spam Act 2003. You can report 0390220435 to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and lodge a complaint with the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au). Include details about how many times 03 9022 0435 has called and that no voicemail was ever left.
Could 0390220435 be spoofed or fake?
It's possible the number 03 9022 0435 is spoofed (falsified), given the callback trap behaviour. However, ACMA records show it's registered to a service provider in Victoria. Whether the registered owner is actually making these calls or if their number has been spoofed, the result is the same - you should not engage with it and should block 0390220435 immediately.
