• Uncertain

One contributor reported a suspicious call from 03 9661 8064 (0396618064) where the caller kept asking who they were but wouldn't identify themselves when questioned.

Suspicious Call Reports for 03 9661 8064

A contributor has flagged a call from 03 9661 8064 (also written as 0396618064) as suspicious due to unusual caller behaviour. The call was answered, and the interaction raised red flags because the caller repeatedly asked who the recipient was, yet refused to identify themselves or explain the purpose of the call when asked directly. This one-sided questioning pattern is often associated with reconnaissance calls or attempts to verify active numbers for later scam campaigns.

The number is allocated as a Telstra local service in Victoria, which is typical of legitimate business lines. However, the evasive behaviour reported during this call suggests the caller may not have been legitimate despite the standard allocation.

What Happened During the Call from 03 9661 8064

According to the contributor, the interaction with 0396618064 was notably asymmetrical. The caller initiated contact and asked identifying questions but would not reciprocate when the recipient attempted to find out who was calling or what they wanted. This type of behaviour can indicate the call was part of a verification scam where callers test whether a number is active and connected to a real person, information that is then sold to other scammers or used for follow-up fraud attempts.

Single Report and Limited Data

At this stage, only one contributor has reported 03 9661 8064 to Reverseau. While the behaviour described is suspicious, the limited number of reports means this number has not yet been widely flagged by the community. It's possible this was an isolated incident, a misdirected call, or an early-stage probe by someone testing numbers. If you receive calls from 03 9661 8064 with similar evasive behaviour, reporting it will help build community awareness.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9661 8064

If 0396618064 calls you and the caller behaves evasively or refuses to identify themselves:

• Do not: Provide personal information, confirm your name or address, or stay on the line to satisfy their questions
• Do: Ask directly who is calling and what organisation they represent; if they refuse, hang up immediately
• Do: Block the number if the call feels suspicious or the caller won't identify themselves
• Do: Note the time of the call and report it to Reverseau or other Australian authorities

Evasive callers often use silence or deflection as a tactic to avoid being identified. You have no obligation to answer their questions, and hanging up is always an appropriate response when a caller won't explain who they are.
