Silent Calls and Callback Scam Risk
Calls from 0390226133 that disconnect silently can be part of callback scam tactics. Scammers test numbers to identify active lines, then return later with an urgent message designed to trigger a return call. When you call back, you may reach a scammer impersonating a utility company, bank, or government agency who has already harvested your number from data brokers.
The fact that 03 9022 6133 is registered through a VoIP provider (NetSIP) rather than a traditional telephone line makes it easier for callers to spoof legitimate numbers or rotate through temporary identities.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did 03 9022 6133 hang up immediately when I answered?
Silent calls that disconnect right away are typically automated systems testing whether your number is active. One contributor to Reverseau reported exactly this experience with 0390226133. These calls often precede later scam attempts using the same or different numbers, where scammers return with an urgent message hoping you'll call back.
Should I call 03 9022 6133 back?
No. Do not call 0390226133 back under any circumstances. Returning the call confirms to the caller system that your number is active and monitored by a real person, making you a higher-priority target for follow-up scam attempts. This is a core tactic of callback scams.
Is 03 9022 6133 a legitimate business number?
The number 0390226133 is registered to NetSIP Pty Ltd, a VoIP service provider in Victoria. However, VoIP numbers can be rented or spoofed by anyone. The silent call behaviour reported by one contributor suggests this particular instance is not a legitimate business call - legitimate businesses leave voicemails or speak when you answer.
Why is 0390226133 registered through NetSIP instead of a regular phone company?
NetSIP is a VoIP (internet telephony) provider that allows businesses and individuals to rent phone numbers without traditional fixed lines. This flexibility makes VoIP numbers attractive to both legitimate small businesses and scammers, as they're inexpensive to set up and easy to rotate or abandon.
What should I do if 03 9022 6133 keeps calling me?
Block the number in your phone's contacts app, enable call filtering through your carrier (most Australian providers offer this free), and report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au. If you've already answered and the caller seemed suspicious, monitor your phone for follow-up calls from different numbers claiming urgent matters.
Is one report about 0390226133 enough to consider it dangerous?
The silent call behaviour from this single contributor is meaningful. Callback scammers often operate in waves, testing numbers for several days before launching the actual scam phase. One silent call could be the testing phase before follow-up attempts. Report any further contact from 03 9022 6133 or similar numbers on Reverseau to build the community record.
