Financial Scam and Robocall Reports for 03 9970 0398

Two contributors have flagged 03 9970 0398 (also written as 0399700398) for suspicious activity. One report describes an unsolicited call offering financial services, while another documents a robocall leaving a nearly empty automated voicemail. The number is registered as a local service in Victoria through NetSIP Pty Ltd.

The combination of unsolicited financial offers and automated messaging patterns suggests this number may be part of a broader cold-calling operation targeting Australians with dubious financial products.

What Callers from 03 9970 0398 Say

According to community reports, a caller identifying as "James" with an Indian accent contacted a contributor offering unsolicited financial services. The contributor did not provide details about specific products or claims, but the call was unprompted and unwanted.

The robocall report describes a seven-second voicemail that contained mostly silence before an automated goodbye message. This pattern is typical of robocall systems testing active numbers or leaving minimal traces while still establishing contact.

Report Patterns and Timing

The two reports came in on different dates in August and September 2026. One was a direct call that the contributor answered, while the other arrived as a voicemail, suggesting the number may be dialling multiple times or using different calling strategies.

The voicemail contributor noted the message contained almost no content until the automated sign-off, a common tactic used to avoid leaving identifying information that could be reported to authorities.
