Nuisance and Robocall Reports for 03 9968 1298

Four contributors have reported activity from 03 9968 1298 (also written as 0399681298), a Victoria-based local service number. The reports paint a picture of persistent nuisance calling, with one contributor noting a suspicious robocall pattern that suggests automated dialling infrastructure.

The dominant complaint involves repeated calls asking for someone named Mr Bear. One contributor reports being contacted multiple times over several weeks from 0399681298 with the same incorrect name request, despite repeatedly clarifying that the person has the wrong number. This persistent wrong-number pattern, combined with other reports, indicates the caller may be operating from a database with inaccurate contact information or intentionally ignoring corrections.

What Callers from 03 9968 1298 Do and Say

Contributors describe inconsistent caller behaviour. One report describes receiving a call from 03 9968 1298 where the person on the line was mumbling nonsensical content before hanging up. The same contributor noted that when the number called back twice, they chose not to answer, suggesting the caller did not leave voicemail.

The most specific pattern involves calls repeatedly asking for Mr Bear. The contributor receiving these calls from 0399681298 states they have corrected the caller multiple times, yet the calls continue over a period of weeks. This behaviour differs from typical one-off wrong-number mistakes and suggests either a poorly maintained contact list or deliberate persistence.

One contributor reported receiving two calls within two hours - first from 03 9968 1298, then from a sequential number (9968 1293). The contributor interpreted this pattern as evidence of a call centre operation, with multiple similar numbers suggesting an automated or semi-automated calling system.

Call Patterns and Timing

Reports from 0399681298 span several months, from November 2024 through October 2025. The repeated Mr Bear calls occurred over several weeks according to one contributor, indicating sustained contact rather than isolated incidents. One call was missed and left no voicemail, whilst another contributor answered but chose not to accept subsequent callbacks.

The robocall indicator appears once in the reports - a contributor received two calls within a two-hour window from sequential number patterns, which they identified as typical of call centre infrastructure. This suggests 03 9968 1298 may be part of a larger dialling operation rather than a standalone number.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9968 1298

If 0399681298 calls you:

• Do: Let it go to voicemail if you don't recognise the number
• Do: Block the number if it calls repeatedly, especially if asking for someone else
• Do: Not engage with unclear or mumbling callers - hang up promptly
• Do: Report repeated wrong-number calls to your phone provider
• Don't: Provide personal information to unknown callers
• Don't: Return the call if you're unsure of the caller's identity

If the caller repeatedly asks for someone else despite your corrections, blocking is justified. The pattern of persistence after being told the wrong number suggests the caller will not respect your clarifications.
