Persistent Callback and Silent Call Reports for 03 9133 8610
Seven contributors have reported activity from 03 9133 8610 (also written as 0391338610), a local Victorian number registered to Primus Telecommunications. The reports reveal a pattern of persistent calling behaviour combined with aggressive callback tactics and silent calls. Contributors describe repeated contact attempts that continue even after explicitly declining engagement.
The most distinctive pattern involves callbacks that ignore explicit refusals. One contributor reported that after answering a call from 03 9133 8610, the caller twisted their words and kept pushing despite being told no. Another contributor noted the number calls back continuously, sometimes every hour, and continues contact even when answered calls are declined. Several reports mention the number never leaves voicemail messages, yet the calling persists across multiple contact attempts.
What Callers from 03 9133 8610 Say and Do
Reports indicate callers from 0391338610 primarily target people about private health insurance. One contributor described receiving a call claiming to be about a health insurance survey, though they found the approach suspicious. Another report mentions similar health insurance-related contact that felt questionable in its legitimacy.
The aggressive callback behaviour stands out across multiple reports. When contributors answer and decline, the caller from 03 9133 8610 reportedly continues the pitch, twisting the recipient's words rather than accepting their refusal. One contributor specifically noted this tactic of reframing declined offers.
Silent call activity has also been documented. One report describes the number calling, ringing for two calls, then hanging up without leaving a message. This pattern aligns with callback scam tactics where callers attempt to trigger return calls to premium or routed numbers.
Report Patterns and Behaviour
The calling frequency is notably aggressive. One contributor reported being called constantly, sometimes every hour, with all attempts going to voicemail due to their phone being locked. Despite blocking the number multiple times, other numbers reportedly continue the contact pattern, suggesting coordinated calling from multiple numbers or dynamic numbering.
Reports span from August through December 2025, indicating sustained activity over a four-month period. The mix of answered and missed calls shows the callers attempt multiple contact strategies. Several contributors note the number never leaves messages, yet persists with further attempts. One contributor flagged suspicious activity alerts accompanying the calls, suggesting awareness of the pattern within their phone network or security settings.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9133 8610
Based on contributor experiences with 0391338610:
- Do not: Return the call if you miss it, engage with callback requests, or provide personal information about your health insurance status

What to Do If You Receive a Silent Call from 03 9133 8610

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 03 9133 8610 keep calling even after I've blocked it?
Multiple contributors report that 0391338610 calls repeatedly using different numbers or continues from related lines, suggesting the calls may originate from a coordinated contact system. One contributor noted that after blocking, other numbers would call with the same pattern. Report the pattern to your provider rather than blocking individual numbers only.
What should I do if 0391338610 calls about health insurance?
Verify independently before engaging. Legitimate health insurance providers use established channels and accept refusals. Contributors reported that callers from 03 9133 8610 continue pushing after being told no and twist their words to reframe rejections. If you're interested in insurance, contact providers directly through their official websites.
Is it a callback scam if 03 9133 8610 rings once then hangs up?
One contributor reported exactly this pattern from 0391338610 - a brief ring with no message. This tactic is commonly used in callback scams to trigger you to call back. Do not return calls that ring briefly and disconnect. Block the number instead.
Why do I get suspicious activity alerts when 03 9133 8610 calls?
One contributor noted receiving suspicious activity alerts alongside calls from 0391338610. This suggests your phone or security service recognises the pattern as potentially problematic. Trust this alert as a warning sign and block the number immediately.
What makes 0391338610 different from other telemarketing calls?
Most telemarketers accept refusals and stop calling. Contributors report that callers from 03 9133 8610 specifically refuse to accept no as an answer, twist stated objections to continue the pitch, and call hourly from multiple numbers. This aggressive callback behaviour and coordinated approach distinguishes it from standard marketing calls.
Should I report 03 9133 8610 to ACMA even if I just missed the calls?
Yes. Even if 0391338610 only reached your voicemail, the persistent pattern across contributors warrants reporting to ACMA at acma.gov.au. Include details about frequency (one contributor reported hourly calls) and any suspicious activity alerts. This helps ACMA build a case if enforcement is needed.
