WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why am I receiving calls from 07 2114 8579 about solar rebates?
Callers from 07 2114 8579 (0721148579) are using the Federal Government solar rebate scheme as a pretext to initiate contact with householders. This is a common sales tactic to generate leads for solar companies or to harvest contact details for later marketing. The government itself does not cold-call about rebates - these callers are third-party companies exploiting awareness of legitimate government schemes.
Is 0721148579 a legitimate government number?
No. 07 2114 8579 is a Queensland local service number registered to Symbio Networks, a telecommunications provider. The Australian government does not contact householders unsolicited about solar rebates via cold calls. If you're interested in checking rebate eligibility, contact the relevant state government authority or Clean Energy Regulator directly rather than responding to inbound calls from 0721148579.
What should I do if the caller from 07 2114 8579 already has my details?
