Medibank Impersonation Reports for 03 9600 6606

Community reports for 03 9600 6606 (also written as 0396006606) paint a mixed picture. While several contributors have confirmed calls from this number are legitimate Medibank health check services, others report suspicious impersonation attempts and unusual caller behaviour. Five separate reports flagged impersonation tactics, with callers claiming to be Medibank nurses when the recipient wasn't actually a Medibank member or when the calls seemed questionable.

The split in reports is notable: eight contributors confirmed 0396006606 is legitimate after verifying with Medibank directly or checking their website, while nine reports describe suspicious characteristics and two specifically document scam attempts. This inconsistency suggests either legitimate calls are being mimicked by imposters, or some callers are reaching non-members with unsolicited health check offers.

What Callers from 03 9600 6606 Claim

When legitimate calls come through, callers identify themselves as nurses offering Medibank's 24/7 health check service. Contributors who verified the number confirm Medibank's official number is 1800 644 325, and they received follow-up emails titled "Your Medibank Health Check" referencing 03 9600 6606.

However, suspicious reports describe different scenarios. One contributor received a call from someone claiming to be a Medibank nurse despite not being a Medibank member. Another reported an Indian woman offering a free health check, which the contributor found questionable enough to block. Several callers left voicemails that "sounded very convincing" but made contributors uneasy about engaging, particularly around unsolicited health checks.

One unusual report involved answering a call from 03 9600 6606 and hearing a child's voice in the background before hanging up immediately. Another contributor received calls up to twice daily with no voicemail, finally connecting at 6 PM when a caller claimed to be a Medibank nurse.

Report Patterns and Timing

Reports span from April 2024 to February 2026, with clustering around late 2024 and late 2025. The high-frequency pattern appears in one report describing twice-daily calls with no message left initially. Legitimate verification reports increased in late 2025, with contributors confirming the number after receiving official Medibank emails about health check campaigns.

The channel mix is significant: most answerable calls came through (where callers could directly claim affiliation), while some reports involved voicemail messages that "sounded convincing" but triggered hesitation. One contributor noted that legitimate Medibank should communicate via their verified channels rather than unexpected calls, raising a valid verification concern even for actual health check outreach.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9600 6606

If 03 9600 6606 calls you:

• Do: Let the call go to voicemail first, then verify independently by checking Medibank's official website or calling their published number 1800 644 325
• Do: Ask for a callback number and verify it matches Medibank's official contact details before providing any information
• Do: Check your email for confirmation - legitimate Medibank campaigns send follow-up emails with details
• Do not: Provide personal health details, Medicare numbers, or financial information to unexpected callers claiming to be from Medibank
• Do not: Assume a caller is legitimate just because they know your name or suburb
• Do not: Return the call immediately if you're unsure - look up the official number independently

If you're not a Medibank member and receive calls from 03 9600 6606, this is a red flag that the caller may be impersonating Medibank rather than contacting actual members.
