• Uncertain

Community reports for 03 9022 4155 (0390224155) describe suspicious callers with Indian accents claiming prior contact and requesting personal details, plus silent call incidents.

Suspicious Calls and Personal Information Requests from 03 9022 4155

Two contributors have reported concerning activity from 03 9022 4155 (also written as 0390224155), a Melbourne-based local service number. The reports describe callers attempting to gather personal information through deceptive pretexts, combined with hang-ups that suggest either information harvesting or call screening tactics.

One contributor received a call from 03 9022 4155 from a caller with an Indian accent who already knew their name. The caller claimed they were contacting because "when I visited, she was not home" - a vague reference designed to create familiarity. The contributor lives in regional NSW and hasn't visited Melbourne for over a decade, making this claim implausible. When questioned about their identity, the caller from 0390224155 immediately hung up. This pattern suggests phishing for personal information that could be used in downstream scams.

What Callers from 03 9022 4155 Say and Do

The caller demonstrated several warning signs associated with information harvesting. They possessed or claimed knowledge of the recipient's name, suggesting either data breach sourcing or cold-calling combined with name databases. The false pretext about a prior visit to Melbourne appears designed to establish false familiarity and lower the recipient's guard before requesting additional details.

The second report about 03 9022 4155 describes a silent call - the contributor answered but the caller immediately hung up without speaking. This can indicate callback scam verification (testing if the number is active) or automated call screening to identify connected lines for later targeting.

Report Patterns and Timing

Both reports came from different scenarios. The personal information request was logged in early November 2025, while the silent call incident occurred in early October 2025. The geographic mismatch - a Melbourne-based caller (VIC) contacting someone in regional NSW with a false pretext about a local visit - suggests this may not be a legitimate local service.

The combination of tactics across the two reports (personal information fishing followed by hang-ups) suggests either opportunistic scamming or systematic information verification for later fraud attempts.
