Impersonation Scam Reports for 03 9316 9272

Thirteen contributors have reported calls and voicemails from 03 9316 9272 (also written as 0393169272) involving impersonation of legitimate Australian and international organisations. The most consistent pattern involves robocall messages offering language selection ('Press 1 for English, Press 2 for Chinese'), with callers falsely claiming to represent Binance, Telstra, Border Force, DFAT, and government agencies. Eight of the thirteen reports explicitly categorise calls from 0393169272 as scams.

The impersonation tactics used by 03 9316 9272 escalate in sophistication. One contributor reported receiving a call claiming to be from Binance about a two-factor authentication change on their account. Another report describes a caller impersonating Telstra discussing a 'public IP number' and providing a callback number that felt suspicious. A particularly concerning report indicates a caller claiming to be Border Force about an intercepted package, who then called back from a different but similar number, suggesting deliberate spoofing of official channels.

What Callers from 03 9316 9272 Claim

Reports reveal a diverse range of false claims made by callers from 03 9316 9272. The Binance impersonation case involved a claim about account security changes requiring immediate action. The Telstra impersonation calls focussed on internet connection issues with pushy, urgent language attempting to pressure recipients into engagement.

Government impersonation appears frequently in voicemail reports from 0393169272. One contributor received a voicemail claiming to be from DFAT requesting immigration details, with the robocall script offering language options. Another voicemail stated 'you missed an important call from the government' before presenting the same English/Chinese menu. These messages employ urgency tactics to encourage callback on suspicious numbers.

The Telstra phishing variant involved a caller claiming knowledge of the recipient's 'public IP number' and providing a callback number designed to appear official. This represents a phishing attempt combining impersonation with social engineering to extract network or personal information.

Call Patterns and Timing

Community reports for 03 9316 9272 span six months, with clustering in June 2025. The majority of interactions involved answered calls or voicemail messages left by the robocall system. One contributor reported a missed call from 0393169272 that displayed as 'possible fraud' on their device, indicating some phone systems may flag this number automatically.

The voicemail reports are particularly notable, with multiple contributors receiving the identical 'Press 1 for English, Press 2 for Chinese' message across different dates. This consistency suggests an automated campaign rather than individual calls. One contributor noted receiving calls in different languages before the caller hung up, suggesting either targeting of multilingual households or testing of phone lines.
