Solar Panel Impersonation Reports for 07 3544 2254
Five contributors have reported suspicious activity from 07 3544 2254 (also written as 0735442254), with a clear pattern of callers claiming to represent solar panel companies. The number, allocated to a local service provider in Queensland (NetSIP Pty Ltd), has attracted reports describing impersonation tactics, robocalls, and unsolicited contact despite Do Not Call Register registration.
The most concerning aspect of calls from 0735442254 is the caller's knowledge of personal information. One contributor reported receiving a call from a woman with an Indian accent who greeted them by name and asked about solar panels, claiming to represent "Smart Choice" - a company with no verifiable online presence. Another similar report described identical behaviour from 07 3544 2254, where the caller knew the recipient's name before introducing herself, raising questions about data sourcing.
What Callers from 07 3544 2254 Say
Contributors who answered calls from 07 3544 2254 report consistent messaging around solar panel interest. One caller claimed to have spoken with the contributor previously about solar panels, despite the recipient insisting no such conversation occurred. The caller persisted with questions about whether the recipient had solar panels installed.
When asked for company details, callers from 0735442254 provided the name "Smart Choice" but contributors were unable to find any legitimate business registration or online presence for this company. The caller's familiarity with the recipient's name before introduction, combined with the non-existent company name, suggests either data harvesting or deliberate misrepresentation.
One contributor reported an automated robocall from 07 3544 2254 that played a recorded message saying only "Goodbye" before disconnecting - a tactic sometimes used in callback scams or to verify active phone numbers for targeted campaigns.
Report Patterns and Timing
Five separate reports span from 6 to 9 January 2026, with calls arriving during both business hours and early morning times. Three contributors answered the call directly, two missed it or received robocalls. One contributor noted they would not normally answer unknown numbers but did so because they were expecting a National Broadband Network technician visit, making them vulnerable to the initial approach.
The frequency of reporting within a four-day window, combined with the consistency of the "Solar Choice" or "Smart Choice" company reference and callers knowing recipients' names, suggests either a coordinated campaign or a recycled contact list being worked by the same operation.

What Our Users Reviewed
Says they are calling about solar panels I was interested in and she had spoke to me before but I said I was busy at the time which wouldn't have happened. If it was a telemarketer calling I would have told her I wasn't interested. SPAM - blocked number.
Picked up and an automated, recorded message said "Goodbye". Very suspicious.
Probable scammer doesn't leave message.
I usually don’t answer unknown calls but I am e petting an National Broadband Network technician and thought it might be him. A lady with an Indian accent asks how I am and knows my name. Then asks if I have Solar Panels. I asked the name of her company and she said Smart Choice but I couldn’t find a Google reference for it. I advised her that I am on the Do Not Call Register and that it was illegal for her to call me. She couldn’t hang up fast enough.
I have now blocked the number and will report to DNC Register.
Woman with Indian accent greeted me by name, asked about solar panels, said she was from Smart Choice but I couldn't find them online

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does the caller from 07 3544 2254 already know my name?
Multiple contributors reported that callers from 0735442254 greeted them by name before introduction, suggesting the number is part of a campaign using purchased or stolen contact lists. This is a common tactic in targeted scams where knowing your name builds false familiarity and trust. Never assume a caller is legitimate because they know your personal details - independently verify any business they claim to represent.
Is 'Smart Choice' or 'Smart Choice Solar' a real company?
Contributors who received calls from 07 3544 2254 asked this question and could not find any legitimate business registration or online presence for a company by this name claiming to provide solar panels. If a company claims to represent a solar provider, search the Australian Business Register (ABR) independently or contact the provider directly using their official website - never use contact details provided by an incoming caller claiming to work for them.
What does the robocall message 'Goodbye' from 0735442254 mean?
One contributor received an automated recorded message saying only "Goodbye" from 07 3544 2254. This type of call can serve multiple purposes: confirming your number is active for targeting future scams, testing whether you'll answer, or attempting to trigger a callback to a premium service. Do not return calls to numbers that call you with only robotic messages.
Can I block 07 3544 2254 on my phone?
Yes. All contributors who identified 0735442254 as problematic blocked the number on their phones. Most smartphone operating systems allow you to block specific numbers through your phone's settings or call app. After blocking 07 3544 2254, future calls from this number will typically go straight to voicemail without ringing.
I missed a call from 07 3544 2254 - should I call back?
No. Do not return calls to 0735442254 if you don't recognise the number or if it's calling from an unexpected context. One contributor noted they almost engaged because they were expecting an NBN technician, making them vulnerable. If a legitimate business needs to contact you about solar, they will call back, send email, or contact you through official channels - not from an unregistered company name like those reported from 07 3544 2254.
Is this number genuinely from Queensland?
The number 07 3544 2254 (0735442254) is allocated to a local service provider in Queensland, but this does not mean the person calling is actually in Queensland or that the number is being used legitimately. Scammers routinely use Queensland numbers and may be operating from overseas call centres, purchasing access to local number ranges to appear more trustworthy to Australian recipients.
