Spam and Suspicious Reports for 03 9970 6093
Six contributors have flagged 03 9970 6093 (also written as 0399706093) for unwanted telemarketing and suspicious activity. The reports paint a pattern of nuisance calls from a Victorian local number that has made multiple unsolicited contact attempts. While most reports describe missed or answered spam calls, one contributor experienced a more concerning interaction where a caller claiming to represent an energy provider requested personal information.

Contributors report receiving calls at inconvenient times and encountering difficulty verifying the legitimacy of callers when they attempt to return calls.
What Callers from 03 9970 6093 Are Saying
Based on contributor reports, callers from 0399706093 have made several different types of pitches. One contributor received a call about solar energy rebates, described as annoying telemarketing. Another report flagged a caller claiming affiliation with an energy provider based in India who requested access to recent utility bills without providing clear identification or justification.
The fact that a caller claimed to be from an overseas energy provider while using a Victorian number (03 9970 6093) raises immediate red flags. Contributors note that when questioned or when they attempted to verify the call by ringing back the number, they received an error message stating 'this mobile service is not available', suggesting the number may not be a genuine service line or may be deliberately disconnected after outbound dialling.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9970 6093
If 03 9970 6093 calls you:

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I answer if 03 9970 6093 calls me?
No. Contributors who answered calls from 0399706093 experienced telemarketing pitches and one received a suspicious request for personal information. It's safer to let the call go to voicemail. If the call is genuinely important, the caller can leave a message and you can verify their identity independently before returning the call.
What happened when someone tried to ring back 03 9970 6093?
One contributor who received a missed call from 0399706093 attempted to return it and received an error message stating 'this mobile service is not available'. This is a classic indicator of a spoofed, temporary, or disconnected number used for outbound scamming. Do not persist in trying to reach this number.
Why is a caller claiming to be from an energy provider in India using a Victorian number?
This is a major red flag. Legitimate Australian energy providers use Australian contact numbers and staff in Australia. If 03 9970 6093 calls claiming to be from your energy company, hang up immediately. Contact your actual provider using the number on your bill to verify if they called you. The use of a spoofed local number combined with an overseas claim is a common scam tactic.

Never provide your utility bill details, bank account information, credit card numbers, tax file number, date of birth, or address to an unsolicited caller from 03 9970 6093. Contributors report that a caller from this number specifically requested recent utility bills.
