Why Callback Lures Work
Callback lure scams exploit human curiosity and the expectation that missed calls warrant investigation. By leaving no message and making the callback line busy or unresponsive, scammers increase the likelihood that you'll persist in trying to reach them - sometimes triggering connection to a premium service or monitored line that generates revenue or collects personal information.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is a callback lure and why did I receive a call from 03 9967 4972?
A callback lure is a scam tactic where someone calls your number, lets it ring unanswered with no voicemail, then counts on your curiosity to call back. The number 03 9967 4972 (0399674972) was reported using this exact method - no message left, and when the contributor tried to return the call, the line was busy. Scammers use this to generate revenue from premium numbers or to initiate social engineering once you call.
Should I try calling back 0399674972 if I missed a call from 03 9967 4972?
No. If you receive a missed call from 03 9967 4972 with no voicemail, do not call back. Legitimate callers - banks, government agencies, service providers - always leave a message explaining why they contacted you. If the line to 0399674972 is consistently busy when you attempt to reach it, this reinforces that it's a callback lure. Hang up and block the number instead.
Is 03 9967 4972 a real Victorian phone number?
03 9967 4972 is formatted as a local Victorian number (03 area code), and it's registered to a VoIP provider (NetSIP Pty Ltd). However, VoIP numbers can be spoofed or used for scam campaigns. The fact that it was reported as an unsolicited call with callback lure behaviour suggests it may not be operating as a legitimate service. Do not assume a correctly formatted number is trustworthy - context matters, and this report indicates suspicious activity.
I'm already on the Do Not Call Register but got a call from 03 9967 4972. What should I do?
This is exactly what happened to the contributor who reported 03 9967 4972 (0399674972). Being on the Do Not Call Register should prevent unsolicited marketing calls, but scammers often ignore this. Report the call to the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au and lodge a formal complaint. You can also report it to ACMA (acma.gov.au). Block 0399674972 on your phone and do not attempt to call back.
What happens if I do call back a callback lure number like 0399674972?
If you call back 0399674972 or 03 9967 4972, several outcomes are possible: you may be charged a premium connection fee, connected to a scammer who begins social engineering or identity theft attempts, or have your phone monitored for future targeting. The original contributor discovered the line was always busy - a deliberate barrier designed to frustrate you into trying repeatedly, which some scammers record as successful engagement for future campaigns.
How can I protect myself from callback lure scams like the one from 03 9967 4972?
The golden rule: if you don't recognise the number and they leave no voicemail, do not call back. For 03 9967 4972 specifically, block it immediately. For any suspicious missed call, hang up if the person cannot confirm their identity and legitimate purpose. If it's truly urgent (your bank, government agency), call them back using the phone number from their official website or your statement, never the number that called you. This prevents callback scams entirely.
