Solar Panel Sales and Impersonation Reports for 03 9968 6661
Six contributors have flagged calls from 03 9968 6661 (also written as 0399686661) for unwanted solar panel sales activity and potential impersonation tactics. The pattern indicates callers posing as local operators while running a solar rebate sales pitch. One contributor reported a caller claiming to be local despite having a thick Indian accent and obvious call centre noise in the background, suggesting deliberate misrepresentation of caller identity.
What stands out across reports of 0399686661 is how quickly callers disconnect when contributors invoke the national Do Not Call Register. This behaviour suggests awareness of regulatory obligations and an attempt to avoid accountability. The service is registered as a local Victorian number through NetSIP Pty Ltd.
What Callers from 03 9968 6661 Say
Contributors who answered calls from 03 9968 6661 report a consistent sales approach focused on solar panel rebates. One contributor described the caller launching directly into a "solar panel sales spiel" with no introduction or consent. Another noted the caller attempted to establish local credibility despite clear acoustic evidence of a call centre environment and non-Australian accent.
The impersonation tactic is particularly notable in reports of 0399686661: the caller claimed local status when multiple audio cues indicated otherwise. This misrepresentation appears designed to build false trust before pivoting to the sales pitch. Several contributors who received calls from 03 9968 6661 reported that callers disconnected immediately upon hearing mention of the Do Not Call Register, suggesting the operation is aware it's making non-compliant calls.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why do callers from 03 9968 6661 hang up when I mention the Do Not Call Register?
Multiple contributors have reported this exact behaviour with 0399686661. The immediate disconnection when compliance is mentioned suggests callers are aware they're breaching the Do Not Call Register and are avoiding creating a recorded complaint. This is not normal business behaviour and indicates the operation knows it should not be calling.
Is the solar rebate offer from 03 9968 6661 legitimate?
While solar rebates are genuine Australian government programmes, calls from 0399686661 involve impersonation and pressure sales tactics inconsistent with legitimate rebate administration. Genuine rebate information comes from government websites (servicesaustralia.gov.au), not unsolicited calls claiming local status from call centres overseas.
Why does the caller from 03 9968 6661 claim to be local when they clearly aren't?
One contributor reported a caller claiming local status while having a thick Indian accent and obvious call centre background noise. This impersonation tactic on 0399686661 is designed to build false trust before the sales pitch. Contributors should treat any number claiming to be local but showing acoustic evidence of a call centre as potentially fraudulent.
What should I do if I've already given information to a caller from 0399686661?
If you provided personal details to someone claiming to be from 03 9968 6661, monitor your accounts for unusual activity and consider reporting the call to ACMA (acma.gov.au). Do not send money for any rebate scheme claimed by this number without independently verifying through official government channels.
How many people have reported 03 9968 6661?
Six contributors have made reports about 0399686661, with two clearly identifying solar rebate sales activity, one identifying impersonation tactics, and three reporting silent or missed calls. This clustering of activity over a short period suggests active campaigning by this number.
Can I block 03 9968 6661 on my phone?
Yes. All modern Australian phones allow blocking of individual numbers. After blocking 0399686661, also register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au and file a complaint about the breach. This creates an official record if the caller continues to ring other numbers.
