Why Silent Calls Happen
Silent calls from numbers like 03 9022 6364 typically fall into two categories. Robocalling systems use silent calls to identify active, monitored phone numbers - when you answer, your number is marked as viable and sold to scammers for targeting.

Some contributors report silent calls from Melbourne numbers like 03 9022 6364 as part of larger campaigns, where multiple numbers are dialled in sequence. A single silent call may not indicate immediate danger, but repeated calls from 0390226364 suggest your number is on an active targeting list.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why do I keep getting silent calls from 03 9022 6364?
Silent calls from 03 9022 6364 often indicate your number is being tested by automated systems or callback scam networks. When you answer, the system confirms your line is active and monitored, marking 0390226364 as a viable target. This information is sometimes sold to scammers. Blocking 03 9022 6364 prevents further contact.
Should I call back a silent call from 0390226364?
No. Do not return calls to 0390226364 or any number that has called you silently. Many silent calls are callback scams designed to profit when you ring back - the charges can be substantial. If you need to verify a legitimate caller, use official contact details from their website, never the number that called you.
Is 03 9022 6364 a known scam number?
One contributor reported silent calls from 03 9022 6364, which suggests testing or probing behaviour rather than a fully-fledged scam campaign.

How do I block calls from 03 9022 6364 on my iPhone or Android?
On iPhone: Open the Phone app, find the number 0390226364 in your recent calls, tap the info icon, and select 'Block this Caller'.

Can I report this to the police or ACMA?

Police generally treat silent calls as civil matters unless part of harassment.
What should I do if I accidentally called back 03 9022 6364?
Monitor your phone bill closely for unusual charges from calls to 0390226364.
