Persistent Spam Reports for 03 9122 0961

Ten contributors have reported calls from 03 9122 0961 (also written as 0391220961), with a consistent pattern of persistent spam and suspicious behaviour. Reports indicate a coordinated campaign involving number spoofing, where callers systematically vary the last digits of the number to evade blocking attempts. One contributor documented receiving approximately 100 calls over a few days from this number and its variations, while another noted calls arriving at least twice daily over an extended period.

The calling pattern involves numbers in the 0391220960-0391220969 range, with callers incrementally changing the final digits. This tactic appears designed to trick people into answering by appearing as different callers, even though the same organisation is behind the calls. Multiple contributors who blocked 03 9122 0961 report the calls continuing from the varied number format, making traditional blocking ineffective.

What Callers from 03 9122 0961 Claim

Several contributors report that callers from 03 9122 0961 claim to represent Roy Morgan Research, though contributors expressed uncertainty about whether this claim is legitimate. Other reports describe callers asking about surveys or conducting research inquiries, with contributors describing these as irrelevant or unsolicited.

One contributor specifically noted that a caller claiming to be from Roy Morgan Research called, creating doubt about the caller's authenticity. Reports consistently describe the calls as spam or survey-related rather than legitimate business inquiries. The callback request pattern evident in some reports suggests callers may be fishing for responses or attempting to confirm active numbers.

Call Patterns and Timing

The calling behaviour from 0391220961 shows escalating persistence across contributors' experiences. One report documents almost daily calls spanning at least a month, with the caller incrementally increasing the final digit each time (starting from October 31). Another contributor received approximately 100 calls over just a few days, indicating an intensive campaign targeting that individual.

Contributors report calls arriving throughout the day, with blocking attempts proving ineffective due to the number variation strategy. The timing of reports (ranging from January 2024 through March 2026) indicates this pattern has persisted for over two years. Multiple contributors mention blocking and reporting these calls, yet the calls continue from slightly different numbers in the same range.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9122 0961

If 03 9122 0961 or related numbers in the 0391220960-0391220969 range call you:

• Do not: Answer calls from numbers you don't recognise, return calls to these numbers, or engage with survey requests
• Do: Let calls go to voicemail, block the specific number immediately, and add the entire 0391220960-0391220969 range to your blocked list if your phone supports range blocking
• Verify independently: If you believe the call might be from Roy Morgan Research, hang up and contact them directly through their official website using a number you find independently
• Note patterns: Track the varying numbers if they continue calling - this helps with reporting and shows a coordinated spam campaign rather than coincidence

How to Report 03 9122 0961

Contributors can report these persistent calls through multiple Australian channels:

• Do Not Call Register: Register your number at donotcall.gov.au to reduce unwanted calls, and report 03 9122 0961 and its number variations as breaches
• ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority): Report spam calls at acma.gov.au - include details about the number variations and frequency of calls
• Scamwatch: If you suspect fraud or attempted deception, report at scamwatch.gov.au
• Reverseau: Contribute your experience with 0391220961 to help other Australians identify this pattern
• Your phone provider: Contact Primus Telecommunications (the provider associated with this number) to report the abuse

When reporting 03 9122 0961, mention the number variations (0391220960 through 0391220969) to help authorities understand the systematic spoofing pattern.

Understanding the Number Variation Strategy

The pattern of varying the last digits of 03 9122 0961 is a deliberate tactic to defeat call-blocking software. Contributors reported that blocking 0391220961 did not stop calls from 0391220962, 0391220963, and so on. This rotating approach makes it difficult for individuals to block all variations, and it appears designed to make tracking and enforcement harder for regulators.

This type of behaviour is typically used by spam and survey organisations that rely on high call volumes and the hope that some people will answer before recognising the pattern. The allocation of this number to Primus Telecommunications suggests these calls originate from a local VIC-based service provider, though the actual calling organisation may be a third party using the service.
