Understanding Silent Calls and Callback Scams

Silent calls from numbers like 03 9647 1195 typically serve one of two purposes: they test whether your number is active and monitored by a person, or they are part of a callback scam scheme. In callback scams, callers may dial in bulk, hang up when you answer or reach voicemail, and profit if you call back to a premium-rate number disguised as a local service. The allocation of 0396471195 to a genuine Telstra local number makes it appear legitimate, but the pattern of silent calls and no communication suggests number spoofing or misuse of the allocated service.
