Frequently Asked Questions

Why did 03 9602 2128 call me four times in a few minutes?

The robocall report about 0396022128 indicates automated dialling system activity. Robocalls often place multiple calls rapidly to increase the chance of reaching someone. Block 03 9602 2128 after the first call to prevent further attempts.

What does the background noise on calls from 03 9602 2128 mean?

The contributor who answered 0396022128 reported hearing call centre background noise. This indicates an automated system triggering multiple calls simultaneously, a hallmark of robocall operations rather than legitimate business calling.

Is 03 9602 2128 a real Telstra number?

03 9602 2128 is allocated to Telstra as a local service in Victoria, but robocallers frequently spoof legitimate numbers. Do not assume the caller is actually from Telstra or the number's registered provider - treat it as a robocall and block it.

Should I press a number to opt out when 0396022128 calls?

No. Do not press any numbers or respond to prompts from 03 9602 2128. Responding confirms your number is active and monitored, which can lead to more robocalls. Simply hang up and block the number.

Can I report 03 9602 2128 to the Do Not Call Register?

Robocalls are already illegal under Australian law regardless of Do Not Call Register status. Report 0396022128 directly to the ACMA at acma.gov.au. You can also register at donotcall.gov.au to reduce other telemarketing calls, but this won't stop illegal robocalls.

Why is 03 9602 2128 associated with Southern Cross Railway Station?

One report noted this number is linked to a payphone at Southern Cross Railway Station in Melbourne. Robocallers often spoof public payphone numbers or use them as identifiers. This does not mean the payphone owner is responsible for the robocalls.
