Suspicious Call Reports for 03 9022 9274
Two contributors have reported receiving calls from 03 9022 9274 (also written as 0390229274) with no clear purpose or message. The pattern suggests this number may be testing whether numbers are active, a common technique used in callback scams or automated dialling campaigns. Both reports indicate the caller made no attempt to leave a voicemail or provide identification.
The number is allocated to NetSip Pty Ltd, a VoIP provider based in Victoria. While legitimate businesses use VoIP services, scammers frequently exploit them for anonymity. The lack of voicemail and immediate hang-up when called back are recognised indicators of scam or spam behaviour.
What These Calls Indicate
One contributor who rang back 0390229274 found the line immediately disconnected, which is characteristic of numbers used for testing active phone numbers rather than genuine business communication. The other report noted no message was left despite the call reaching the recipient's phone.
This behaviour pattern matches callback scam tactics, where callers ring briefly to prompt return calls, potentially charging premium rates or capturing personal information when the recipient calls back. However, with only two reports, the exact intent of 03 9022 9274 remains uncertain.
Report Patterns
Both reports of 0390229274 occurred within a 24-hour window (late evening on 2 February and early morning on 3 February), suggesting possible automated dialling. Neither contributor answered the initial call, and neither report indicates any voicemail or message left on their phone.
The fact that 03 9022 9274 hung up immediately when called back is noteworthy. Legitimate businesses typically answer callback attempts or at least maintain a connection long enough for you to verify who you're calling.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would 03 9022 9274 hang up when I called back?
Callback scams use this tactic intentionally. The initial call tests whether your number is active. When you call back, you may be charged premium rates or connected to a scammer. The immediate disconnection when one contributor rang 0390229274 is a red flag suggesting the number isn't set up for genuine two-way communication.
Is 0390229274 a legitimate Victoria business number?
The number is allocated to NetSip Pty Ltd, a VoIP provider. However, allocation doesn't guarantee legitimacy - scammers routinely use VoIP services for anonymity. The behaviour reported (no voicemail, hang-up on callback) contradicts typical business use of 03 9022 9274.
What does it mean if a number doesn't leave a voicemail?
Legitimate businesses almost always leave a message explaining the purpose of their call. When 03 9022 9274 rang contributors without leaving any voicemail, it suggests either a wrong number dialled by automated systems, or intentional non-communication (common in callback scams and number-testing campaigns).
Should I block 03 9022 9274?
Yes, blocking 0390229274 is reasonable given the pattern of mystery calls with no voicemail. Blocking prevents future unwanted contact and eliminates the risk of accidentally calling back and triggering charges. Most modern phones allow easy blocking in settings or through your carrier.
Could 03 9022 9274 be a wrong number?
Possibly, but the pattern across two separate contributors (no message, hang-up on callback) suggests this is intentional behaviour rather than accidental misdial. A person calling by mistake would typically answer if you called back, or at least leave a voicemail on the first attempt from 0390229274.
Where can I report 03 9022 9274?
Report 0390229274 to ACMA at acma.gov.au if you suspect telecommunications scam activity, or to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au if you believe it's part of a broader scam. You can also contribute directly to Reverseau to help other Australians identify this number and its pattern of behaviour.
