Telstra Impersonation Reports for 03 9022 2201
One contributor has reported receiving a call from 03 9022 2201 (also written as 0390222201) where the caller impersonated Telstra. The caller disconnected immediately when the contributor asked clarifying questions, a classic avoidance pattern used by scammers when challenged. The report was made in late October 2025.
Beyond the confirmed impersonation report, two additional contributors flagged 0390222201 as uncertain - one missed call with no voicemail, and another who simply noted receiving a call without further details. The mix of missed calls and the rapid hang-up behaviour suggests potential robocall or targeting activity.
