Five contributors have flagged calls from 03 9917 9320 (also written as 0399179320) for suspicious activity involving impersonation and robocalling tactics. The reports indicate callers claiming affiliation with government agencies or energy providers without clearly identifying themselves or their purpose.

The number is allocated to a local service provider (Symbio Networks Pty Ltd) in Victoria. Reports span from mid-2023 to early 2026, with calls occurring at various times including 3:30 AM and evening hours around 8-9 PM from the Melbourne/Ringwood area.
What Callers from 03 9917 9320 Have Claimed
Contributors report callers using vague government or utility company claims to establish legitimacy. One caller stated they obtained the recipient's details from an energy provider, though the contributor found this suspicious. Another report describes a caller claiming government status while promoting solar panel installation, making questionable technical claims about panel performance in cloudy weather when questioned further.
The robocall report involving 0399179320 featured a recorded female voice stating only "An enquiry has been made..." before the line disconnected. No company name, purpose, or callback information was provided in the voicemail. This lack of specificity is a common red flag in impersonation attempts.

- Do: Let unusual hours calls (3:30 AM, 8-9 PM) go to voicemail and never return calls to unknown numbers
