Silent Calls and Telstra Impersonation from 03 9022 7563

Three contributors have reported activity from 03 9022 7563 (also written as 0390227563), a VIC-based local service number. The pattern combines two distinct tactics: silent calls with unexplained pauses, and at least one claim of Telstra impersonation. This combination suggests potential use of automated systems paired with live caller spoofing.

One report describes a caller identifying herself as Carol from Telstra, despite the significant call delay and audible telemarketer background noise that immediately contradicted the claim. Two additional reports about 0390227563 involved silent pauses on answering, with no response when the recipient spoke, followed by disconnection.

What Callers from 03 9022 7563 Say and Do

The Telstra impersonation report is particularly notable for its transparency of poor execution. The contributor noted excessive delay after dialling, audible background chatter from what appeared to be a call centre, and then a claim to be Carol from Telstra. The combination of poor call quality, background noise, and delayed connection strongly suggests a spoofed or routed call from an offshore or unprofessional operation.

The silent call reports involving 03 9022 7563 follow a familiar pattern: the number connects, there is a noticeable pause (typically 3-5 seconds), the recipient hears nothing or only silence, and the call disconnects. This behaviour is consistent with auto-dialling systems testing for live, responsive numbers or attempting callback scam tactics where silence is used to gather confirmation that a number is active.

Call Patterns and Timing

Reports for 03 9022 7563 arrived within a two-day window in early December. Two reports on 6 December described identical silent call experiences, suggesting the same campaign or testing phase. The Telstra impersonation report came two days later on 8 December, potentially indicating a shift from silent testing to live caller engagement.

All three calls reached contributors who answered, rather than going to voicemail. The contributors were alert enough to notice the signs of spoofing or nuisance behaviour immediately, with two blocking the number 0390227563 directly after the first call.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9022 7563

If 03 9022 7563 calls you:

• Do not: Confirm your availability if there is a pause or silence, as this confirms your number is active; return the call; or engage with any caller claiming to be from Telstra

• Verify independently: If a caller claims your account has an issue, end the call and contact Telstra via their official website or published phone number, not via any number provided by the caller
