Debt Collection Impersonation Reports for 03 9068 6252

Twelve contributors have flagged calls and SMS messages from 03 9068 6252 (also written as 0390686252) for impersonating legitimate debt collection companies and government agencies. The pattern is consistent: callers claim to represent Access Mercantile, Origin Energy debt collection, or Ambulance Victoria, demanding payment for debts the recipients do not owe. One contributor's detailed report noted that when they searched the number, results showed activity linked to both Australia and India, and critically, the number provided for Ambulance Victoria did not match the official agency's actual contact details. Optus has flagged 0390686252 as a possible scam caller.

The impersonation tactic is particularly concerning because contributors report no written communication or formal documentation being sent. One contributor specifically warned that the absence of proper debt collection procedures combined with the number's flagged status makes it highly likely to be a scam operation, urging others to block both calls and SMS messages from 03 9068 6252.

What Callers from 03 9068 6252 Claim

Contributors report several distinct impersonation attempts from this number. One caller claimed to represent Access Mercantile demanding payment for an alleged Ambulance Victoria debt. Another mentioned Origin Energy debt collection. A third report described a caller identifying as a Swiss wellness consultant selling vitamins, suggesting the number may be used for multiple fraud campaigns. SMS messages have impersonated Transurban toll notices, claiming overdue toll charges of $58.90 from Maddison Dean.

Callers frequently use the wrong names when contacting recipients, indicating they are working from generic lists rather than verified information. When contributors questioned the legitimacy of these claims or asked for clarification, callers either hung up or became difficult to understand, suggesting robotic or heavily accented voices reading from scripts.

Call Patterns and Timing

Contributors report aggressive call frequency from 0390686252. One recipient documented receiving 4 calls per day from this number, with calls continuing even in the evening (reported at 7 PM). Another contributor noted receiving calls every week combined with accompanying SMS messages. The persistent nature of contact despite being ignored or questioned suggests an automated dialling system.

One contributor reported that Optus automatically flagged 03 9068 6252 as a possible scam caller, indicating the carrier's fraud detection systems have identified suspicious patterns. The number is registered to Symbio Networks in Victoria as a local service, but contributors report activity traced to both Australia and India, suggesting possible spoofing or misuse of the registered number.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9068 6252

If 0390686252 calls you:

• Do not: Provide personal information, confirm details, or agree to payments. Do not return the call or engage with the caller beyond hanging up.
• Do: Hang up immediately if the caller claims to represent a debt collector, government agency, or company you do not recognize. Verify any claimed debt by contacting the organisation directly using their official phone number from their website or official documentation.
• Do: Block the number on your phone to prevent repeated calls. Note that if 03 9068 6252 contacts you claiming to represent Ambulance Victoria, Services Australia, or any government agency, this is almost certainly fraudulent, as these organisations do not conduct initial debt collection via unsolicited calls.
• Do: Be especially cautious if the caller cannot confirm your full details or becomes evasive when questioned about the alleged debt.

What to Do If You Receive an SMS from 03 9068 6252
