Mixed Reports for 03 9977 5951
The number 03 9977 5951 (also written as 0399775951) has attracted 16 community reports spanning multiple categories. Contributors describe a pattern of problematic calling behaviour including impersonation attempts, silent calls, robocalls, and repeated calling despite Do Not Call Register registration. The inconsistent nature of reports suggests this number may be shared across multiple operations or actively misused by different callers.
Notably, two contributors identified legitimate market research or political survey activity from 0399775951, indicating the number has been used by genuine survey organisations. However, the majority of reports describe aggressive or deceptive calling tactics that warrant caution.
What Callers from 03 9977 5951 Claim
Several contributors reported callers claiming to represent Melbourne City Council conducting research. One contributor noted the caller became aggressive, yelling "DO NOT HANG UP" when they expressed disinterest. Another reported the caller already knew their name despite the alleged survey purpose, yet referenced outdated address information (the contributor hadn't lived at that location for 4 years).
A separate report describes a caller with a heavy accent attempting to fish for personal information, consistent with impersonation scam patterns. Contributors also flagged the caller's knowledge of their names as a red flag, suggesting possible data breach sourcing.
Silent Calls and Robocall Activity
Multiple contributors experienced silent calls from 03 9977 5951. One reported a silent caller who hung up immediately when answered at dinner time. Another received calls where the caller hung up without speaking. A particularly concerning report described robocalls from 0399775951 occurring non-stop over two consecutive days on both personal and landline phones.
One contributor received a call on Sunday with no voicemail message left, and another identified the call as potential spam from a telemarketer or election pollster.
Do Not Call Register Violations
Three separate contributors reported receiving calls from 03 9977 5951 despite being registered on the Do Not Call Register. This repeated violation suggests the caller either has legitimate exemptions (political surveys, charities, debt collection) or is deliberately ignoring the register. One contributor explicitly noted "whoever's behind this isn't following rules."
It's worth noting that political surveys are exempt from the Do Not Call Register, which may explain some calls from 0399775951, though the aggressive tactics and impersonation claims suggest not all activity is legitimate polling.
