WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I answer calls from 03 9970 9965?
It's your choice, but if you do answer and the caller cannot clearly identify themselves or becomes evasive like the contributor experienced with 0399709965, it's best to end the call. Unknown callers should always be able to state their name and purpose immediately.
What does it mean if a caller claims to be busy when you call back?
When someone answers 03 9970 9965 and claims to be too busy to talk after initiating contact with you, it's a concerning sign. Legitimate callers typically explain their purpose or at least acknowledge the callback. Evasiveness suggests they may not want to be identified or questioned.
Is one report enough to flag 03 9970 9965 as dangerous?
One report of evasive behaviour is worth noting, but it doesn't definitively prove malicious intent. However, the contributor's experience with 0399709965 - calling back and receiving an evasive response - is a valid concern. If you experience similar behaviour, report it to help establish a pattern.
How can I verify if a caller from 0399709965 is legitimate?
If someone calls from 03 9970 9965, ask them for their full name, organisation, and the reason for calling. Write down what they say. Then hang up and contact that organisation directly using a phone number from their official website, not a number the caller provides. This prevents callback scams.
What should I do if 03 9970 9965 keeps calling me?
If the number repeatedly contacts you, block it on your phone. You can also contact the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au if the caller is conducting telemarketing, or report to ACMA at acma.gov.au if you believe it's harassment or a scam.
