Silent Calls and Suspicious Activity from 03 9022 5999
Three contributors have reported concerning activity from 03 9022 5999 (also written as 0390225999), a Melbourne-based local service number. Reports indicate a pattern of silent calls, impersonation of utility billing services, and evasive behaviour when questioned. One contributor received a silent call - dead silence followed by immediate hang-up - while others describe contact claiming to represent bill collection or savings services.
The most serious report involves a caller claiming to represent "Bill Savers" in Melbourne, explicitly flagged as a scam by the contributor. Another report describes a call about an electricity bill where the caller hung up immediately when asked a clarifying question, suggesting avoidance of verification.
What Callers from 03 9022 5999 Do
Contributors report distinct caller behaviour patterns from 0390225999. One caller identified themselves as "Bill Savers" and attempted to collect information without legitimate credentials. The electricity bill caller demonstrated evasiveness - terminating the call the moment the recipient requested details or clarification, a common tactic to avoid authentication.
The silent call component is particularly notable: the caller allowed several seconds of silence before disconnecting, which contributors often report as an automated system testing whether a number is active or checking for human response patterns.
Report Patterns and Timing
Reports for 03 9022 5999 span recent dates in November 2025, with calls arriving during business hours (morning and early morning times documented). All three reports involved answered calls rather than voicemails, suggesting the caller is actively reaching people rather than leaving messages. The Victoria-based allocation of this number aligns with the "Bill Savers in Melbourne" reference in one report.
The variety in caller behaviour - silent calls, utility impersonation, and fake savings schemes - suggests either multiple operators using the same line or a coordinated operation testing different approaches.

One contributor answered a call from 0390225999 that consisted of dead silence before disconnecting.

No. A contributor reported receiving a call from 0390225999 about an electricity bill that immediately hung up when asked a question. Legitimate utility companies do not disconnect when customers request clarification - they welcome verification. Always hang up on unexpected bill-related calls from 03 9022 5999 and contact your actual provider directly using the number on your bill.
Is 03 9022 5999 a legitimate Melbourne business number?
