Energex Impersonation Reports for 03 9022 7587

A contributor has flagged 03 9022 7587 (also written as 0390227587) for suspicious activity involving impersonation of Energex, Queensland's electricity distributor. The caller claimed to represent Energex, which is a significant red flag given that this is a common impersonation tactic used in utility-based scams targeting Australian households.

What makes this report particularly concerning is the contributor's indication that the caller used multiple phone numbers during contact attempts. This pattern of rotating numbers is a hallmark of organised scam operations designed to evade call-blocking and make tracing more difficult.

What Callers from 03 9022 7587 Claim

The contributor reported that the caller claimed affiliation with Energex. This type of impersonation is often used as a pretext to:

• Request personal information like account numbers or payment details
• Claim there is an urgent billing issue or disconnection threat
• Direct recipients to make immediate payments or verify details
• Gain access to energy accounts or payment systems

The use of multiple numbers from 0390227587 and similar ranges suggests the caller is deliberately obscuring their actual identity and location to appear legitimate.

Report Patterns and Timing

This single report came in on 11 December 2025 and involved a call that the contributor answered. The number 03 9022 7587 is allocated as a local service in Victoria through NetSIP Pty Ltd, but the impersonation of Energex (a Queensland business) indicates the caller is misrepresenting their actual location and organisation.

The strategy of calling from different numbers while claiming the same identity is typical of scammers cycling through VoIP services to maintain contact while avoiding being blocked.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9022 7587
