WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does a robocall from 03 9022 3246 sound like?
One contributor who answered a call from 03 9022 3246 reported hearing a voice bot claiming to represent IPEA market research in Melbourne. The automated voice quality made it immediately apparent this was not a human caller. Robocalls from 0390223246 often have this distinctive synthetic or heavily processed audio quality.
Why do I get a 'number disconnected' message when calling back 0390223246?
Multiple contributors attempting to call back 0390223246 received recorded messages stating the number is disconnected. This is typical behaviour for numbers used exclusively for outbound robocalling or spoofed numbers. The number 03 9022 3246 may not accept incoming calls, which is a red flag indicating automated dialling activity.
What is a ghost dial or silent call from 03 9022 3246?
A ghost dial (also called a silent call) is when your phone rings and you answer, but no one speaks and there is no sound on the line. One contributor experienced this from 03 9022 3246. These calls are often generated by auto-dialler systems testing whether a number is active before passing it to a scammer or sales team.
Is 03 9022 3246 / 0390223246 associated with legitimate market research?
While one call from 03 9022 3246 claimed to be from IPEA market research, the robotic voice quality and the number's behaviour (disconnected when called back, ghost calls) strongly suggest this is not legitimate market research activity. Legitimate research firms do not use robocalls or operate numbers that are disconnected when recipients try to verify the caller.
Should I be concerned if 03 9022 3246 calls multiple times?
Yes. One contributor noted receiving calls from similar ranges of numbers, suggesting an auto-dialler making sequential calls across number blocks. If 0390223246 or similar numbers call repeatedly, this indicates systematic robocalling activity and you should block all incoming calls from this number and report to ACMA.
How can I stop calls from 03 9022 3246?
Block 03 9022 3246 immediately in your phone settings. Register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au, though this may not stop illegal robocalls. Report the number to ACMA at acma.gov.au and to Reverseau. If you have call filtering available through your phone provider, enable it to block automated calls.
