Roy Morgan Impersonation and Silent Call Reports for 03 9122 0929
Contributors have reported 16 separate interactions with 03 9122 0929 (also written as 0391220929), revealing a complex pattern of activity. While some callers legitimately represent Roy Morgan Research conducting market surveys, multiple contributors describe impersonation attempts, silent calls, and callback request scams using this number. The inconsistency in reports suggests the number may be exploited by scammers imitating Roy Morgan, or legitimate survey operations are being spoofed.
Three contributors specifically flagged the number as "fake Roy Morgan" impersonation, while others describe silent calls with only "dead air" or "breathing then abrupt end." One contributor noted suspicious activity involving sequential numbers (03) 9122 0928 and (03) 9122 0929 appearing to use "blocked Telstra numbers," suggesting possible number-spoofing tactics.
What Callers from 03 9122 0929 Claim and How They Behave
Contributors report callers claiming affiliation with Roy Morgan Research, typically describing themselves as conducting market research surveys about election topics, cost of living, or media preferences. One contributor had "a pleasant conversation" about these topics, suggesting some calls genuinely represent the research company. However, several contributors expressed distrust of the caller's authenticity.
Beyond impersonation claims, 0391220929 shows concerning silent call behaviour. Two separate contributors reported receiving calls where they heard only "breathing then it ended abruptly" or "dead air with no one speaking or responding." A voicemail reported the caller requested a callback, which is a known scam tactic. Additionally, one contributor described receiving a recorded message about a "national survey" as late as 8:30 PM, with the caller "keeps calling from different numbers same prefix," suggesting automated robocall infrastructure.
Call Patterns and Timing
The calling pattern for 03 9122 0929 is notably persistent and intrusive. One contributor reported calls "every night at 8:20 PM, no messages" occurring over a month. Another noted calls "as late as 8:30 PM with recorded messages," and a third described unexpected dinner-time marketing calls from a "slightly different number." A contributor who received calls over three consecutive days reported "the last digit keeps changing," suggesting sequential number cycling or spoofing.
The mix of channels is also significant: voicemail messages, answered calls, missed calls, and "other" reports indicate the number is actively in use across multiple calling methods. One contributor noted receiving two consecutive calls from sequential numbers (0391220928 and 0391220929) in close succession, adding to suspicion about coordinated calling campaigns.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9122 0929
Given the mixed nature of reports, approach calls from 03 9122 0929 with caution:
- Do not: Answer if you don't recognise the number, return missed calls, or provide personal information. If a callback is requested via voicemail, do not respond.
- Do: Let calls go to voicemail. If the caller claims to be Roy Morgan Research, hang up and independently verify by contacting Roy Morgan's official number (not a number the caller provides).
- Do: Block 0391220929 immediately if you receive silent calls, dead air, or heavy breathing. These are strong indicators of callback scams or robocall testing.
- Do: Be aware that legitimate Roy Morgan surveys ask for permission to record calls and respect the Do Not Call Register. If callers ignore these, it's a red flag.
How to Report 03 9122 0929
If you believe you've been targeted by a scam or impersonation using 03 9122 0929, report the activity through official Australian channels:
- Report to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) if the call involved impersonation, financial pressure, or callback requests.
- Report to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) (acma.gov.au) for nuisance calls, robocalls, or Do Not Call Register breaches.

Legitimate Roy Morgan Research vs. Impersonation
It's worth noting that two contributors described positive experiences with survey calls from this number, indicating Roy Morgan Research may legitimately use 0391220929. However, the presence of impersonation reports, silent calls, and callback scams using the same number suggests scammers are deliberately spoofing or hijacking it. Legitimate Roy Morgan research calls typically:
- Identify themselves clearly and provide a callback number you can verify independently
- Respect the Do Not Call Register and do not call late in the evening
- Do not request callbacks via silent voicemail messages
- Have actual people conducting surveys, not robocalls with dead air
If you're unsure, hang up and contact Roy Morgan Research directly using their official contact information rather than any number provided by the caller.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 03 9122 0929 a legitimate Roy Morgan Research number?
Reports are mixed. Two contributors described legitimate market research surveys from callers claiming to be Roy Morgan Research on 03 9122 0929, with genuine questions about elections and cost of living. However, two other contributors explicitly flagged 0391220929 as "fake Roy Morgan scammer" impersonation. Scammers commonly spoof well-known company names. If 03 9122 0929 calls claiming to be Roy Morgan, hang up and independently verify by calling Roy Morgan's official number (not a number the caller provides).
Why does 03 9122 0929 keep calling with silent calls and dead air?
Two separate contributors reported silent calls from 0391220929 with only breathing or dead air before hang-up. This is a known callback scam tactic used to identify active phone numbers for later targeted scams. Another contributor reported receiving recorded messages about surveys as late as 8:30 PM. If 03 9122 0929 continues calling you with silence, it's a strong indicator of scam activity and you should block the number immediately and report to ACMA (acma.gov.au).
What does it mean when 03 9122 0929 leaves a voicemail asking me to call back?
One contributor reported a voicemail from 0391220929 saying "they'd call back, don't bother ringing them," yet the contributor was already on the Do Not Call Register. This contradictory message is a known callback scam tactic. Legitimate businesses do not request callbacks via voicemail from numbers on the Do Not Call Register. If 03 9122 0929 requests a callback, do not return the call-block the number instead.
I received calls from 03 9122 0928 and 03 9122 0929 in a row. Is this a scam pattern?
Yes. One contributor reported receiving two consecutive calls from (03) 9122 0928 and (03) 9122 0929 and noted they appeared to be using "blocked Telstra numbers." This sequential number cycling is a known scam tactic where callers rapidly dial through nearby number ranges to maximise contact attempts while obscuring the actual caller. The fact that different last digits are being used suggests automated robocall infrastructure testing. Report this pattern to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and block all numbers in this range.
Can I trust 03 9122 0929 if it calls about a market research survey?
Approach with caution. While one contributor had a pleasant legitimate survey conversation from 0391220929 and another confirmed it as "legitimate market research," three contributors flagged it as suspicious or fake. Legitimate Roy Morgan surveys will identify themselves clearly, allow you to verify independently, and respect the Do Not Call Register. If 03 9122 0929 calls during dinner time (after 6 PM) or with a recorded robocall message, it's likely spam or impersonation. Never provide personal or financial information over the phone unless you independently verified the caller.
What should I do if 03 9122 0929 keeps calling from different numbers with the same prefix?
One contributor reported calls over three days where "the last digit keeps changing," and another noted calls "from different numbers same prefix," indicating the caller is cycling through sequential numbers. This is robocall infrastructure used for scams and unwanted marketing. Block 0391220929 immediately, register with the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) if not already registered, and report the pattern to ACMA (acma.gov.au) specifically mentioning the sequential number activity. You can also report to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) if impersonation or financial pressure was involved.
