Suspicious Activity Reports for 03 9967 9806
Two contributors have flagged 03 9967 9806 (also written as 0399679806) for concerning calling behaviour. One report describes a caller claiming to conduct market research, requesting participation in a brief survey about economic conditions. The contributor noted the call sounded suspicious, suggesting the market research cover may have been pretextual. A second report from a different contributor documents a callback scam pattern where 0399679806 rings twice and immediately disconnects, a known tactic designed to prompt return calls to an unfamiliar number.
The number is allocated as a local service in Victoria through NetSIP Pty Ltd, but the pattern of reported behaviour suggests it may be operating outside legitimate business use.
What Callers from 03 9967 9806 Claim
The contributor who answered the call from 03 9967 9806 reported the caller claimed to be conducting market research and requested participation in a 10-question survey about the economy. According to the report, the caller's tone and approach felt suspicious to the recipient, raising doubt about the legitimacy of the stated purpose.
The second report documents a different calling pattern from 0399679806: the number rings exactly twice and hangs up before the recipient can answer. This behaviour is characteristic of callback scams, where automated diallers trigger incomplete calls to provoke curiosity or concern, encouraging recipients to call back. When recipients return the call to 0399679806, they may be connected to premium-rate numbers, charged per minute, or exposed to follow-up scam conversations.
Report Patterns and Timing
Both reports on 03 9967 9806 came through different channels. One contributor answered the incoming call, while the other documented a missed call showing the two-ring-and-disconnect pattern. The first report was filed on 15 January 2026, and the second on 4 December 2025, suggesting ongoing activity from this number over recent weeks.
The dual reporting pattern-one suspicious call with a cover story, one callback scam tactic-indicates this number may be used for multiple types of scam attempts or by different operators.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9967 9806

- Do not: Answer unknown numbers, return the call to 0399679806, or engage with survey requests from unfamiliar callers
- Do: Let the call go to voicemail, block the number immediately, and do not return any missed calls to unfamiliar numbers without independent verification

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do if 03 9967 9806 calls me claiming to conduct market research?
