Contributors describe calls arriving at various times, with one report from early morning (03:13 UTC) and another from late evening (07:40 UTC). One contributor specifically noted the 03 9022 code remains constant while the final digits rotate daily, which is a hallmark of robocalling or spoofing behaviour.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9022 3288

If 03 9022 3288 calls you:

• Do not: Answer if you do not recognise the number, return the call, or provide any information if you do connect
• Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number in your phone settings, and use your carrier's call blocking service if available
• Know: Silent calls often indicate robocalling or number spoofing, where the caller is testing active numbers for further targeting
• Tip: If the number changes by one or two digits (e.g., 03 9022 3289, 03 9022 3290) but the caller behaviour is identical, report all variations to protect other contributors

How to Report 03 9022 3288

Silent calls and robocalls are a priority concern for Australian communications regulators. Here are the key reporting channels:

• ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority): Report the number and call pattern to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman or directly to ACMA via acma.gov.au. Include details about repeated calls and the silent behaviour.
• Scamwatch: If you suspect the silent calls are probing for active numbers before a targeted scam, report to scamwatch.gov.au with dates and times.
• Do Not Call Register: Register your number at donotcall.gov.au to reduce unwanted marketing calls. You can also file a complaint if the caller is breaching the Do Not Call provisions.
• Your phone carrier: Contact your service provider (e.g., Telstra, Vodafone, Optus) to request additional call blocking or to report the number for investigation.
• Reverseau: Contribute your experience on Reverseau to help other Australians identify similar patterns and protect against this number.

Understanding Silent Calls and Robocalls

Silent calls from 0390223288 may serve several purposes. Robocalling systems often use silent calls to verify that a phone number is active and answered by a human, making the number valuable for future targeted scams or harassment campaigns. The pattern of changing the last four digits daily is a known evasion technique to bypass call-blocking lists and phone carrier filters.

Contributors should be cautious if the silent calls are followed by scam attempts from similar numbers, as the silent phase may indicate preliminary testing. Report the full sequence of events to ACMA if you notice an escalation from silent calls to actual scam attempts.
