eBay Impersonation and Robocall Reports for 03 9559 6652
Nine contributors have reported activity from 03 9559 6652 (also written as 0395596652), with a clear pattern of suspicious calls. The most serious report involves an eBay impersonation scam where the caller claimed a suspicious transaction was pending on the recipient's account and requested personal details. When the contributor refused to provide information and indicated they would contact eBay directly, the caller immediately disconnected. Multiple other reports describe silent calls and automated robocalls from 0395596652, with callers either hanging up after 5-7 seconds or leaving no message.
The number is allocated to Telstra Limited as a local service in Victoria. The mix of tactics suggests either coordinated scam activity or number spoofing, with contributors reporting robocall characteristics alongside the targeted impersonation attempt.
What Callers from 03 9559 6652 Say and Do
The eBay impersonation caller from 03 9559 6652 claimed the recipient's account had triggered a fraud alert and that immediate action was needed to prevent a suspicious transaction. This is a classic social engineering approach designed to create urgency and bypass normal caution. The caller specifically requested personal details before the contributor could verify the claim independently.
Other calls from 0395596652 have been automated or silent. Contributors reported robocall characteristics, including silence for 5-7 seconds followed by disconnection, typical of auto-dialling systems that drop calls when no human agent is available. Several contributors described these as "annoying robo dialler" activity with no message left and no attempt at two-way conversation.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do if eBay calls me about a suspicious transaction?
eBay will never cold-call you asking for personal details to verify your account. If you receive a call claiming to be from eBay about a suspicious transaction, like the call from 03 9559 6652 reported here, hang up immediately. Instead, log into your eBay account directly through the official eBay website or call the number listed on your eBay account statement. This is the only safe way to verify account alerts.
Why do I keep getting silent calls from 0395596652?
Silent calls from 0395596652 are likely from a robocall system or auto-dialler. These calls often drop when no agent is available, leaving 5-7 seconds of silence before disconnecting. Contributors reported this exact pattern from 03 9559 6652. These calls are nuisance calls; you should block the number and report it to ACMA. Do not attempt to call the number back, as this confirms your number is active and may lead to more calls.
Is 03 9559 6652 a real eBay number?
No. The call from 03 9559 6652 claiming to be from eBay is a scam. eBay does not cold-call customers asking for personal information to stop transactions. Legitimate eBay communications come through your account inbox and do not request credentials via phone. If you receive a similar call from 0395596652 or any number claiming to represent eBay, treat it as fraudulent and hang up immediately.
What is a robocall and why is 03 9559 6652 calling me?
A robocall is an automated dialling system that calls large numbers of people simultaneously. Contributors reported that 0395596652 exhibits robocall characteristics, including automated silence for several seconds followed by disconnection. Robocalls are often part of scam or spam operations. Block 03 9559 6652 to prevent future calls, and report the number to ACMA at acma.gov.au to help stop these calls.
Why did the caller from 03 9559 6652 hang up when I refused to give details?
The caller from 0395596652 knew their impersonation attempt had failed once you refused to provide information and indicated you would verify independently. Scammers depend on urgency and compliance; when you show resistance and announce verification plans, they abandon the call because you are no longer a viable target. This is exactly the right response and is why many reports from 03 9559 6652 involve the caller disconnecting quickly.
Should I call back if 03 9559 6652 leaves a voicemail?
No, do not call back 0395596652 under any circumstances. Legitimate organisations do not require you to call back an incoming number; they will identify themselves, leave a clear message, and provide an independently verifiable contact method. Calling back a number associated with scam or robocall activity confirms your number is active and monitored, which may increase future nuisance calls. Instead, block 03 9559 6652 and report it to ACMA.
