Silent Call and Personal Information Scam Reports for 0405 342 673
Contributors have reported 22 incidents involving 0405 342 673 (also written as 0405342673), with two distinct patterns emerging. The most common behaviour is silent calls where the line goes dead immediately upon answer, accounting for 6 reports. Additionally, 4 contributors report aggressive attempts to extract personal information, often paired with impersonation claims. The number is registered to a Vodafone mobile account, yet when recipients attempt to return calls, they receive an out-of-service message, a classic indicator of fraudulent or spoofed activity.
The behaviour described across these 22 reports to 0405342673 suggests coordinated scam activity rather than a legitimate business. Contributors note the caller would not identify themselves, used poor call quality or unclear audio, and persisted with repeated calls despite non-engagement.
What Callers from 0405 342 673 Do
Silent call reports from 0405 342 673 describe callers who simply remain on the line without speaking. One contributor noted the experience as "just hanging there like a ghost", while another reported "nobody on the line when I answered". These calls appear designed to confirm active phone numbers for resale to other scammers.
When 0405342673 callers do engage verbally, they employ aggressive information-gathering tactics. Two separate reports describe callers "trying to get personal information", with one contributor stating the caller "hounded me trying to get my name and push me to say yes". A third report indicates a caller "claimed to be from health insurance" but could not be clearly understood due to poor audio quality.
Impersonation attempts have also been reported. One contributor stated a caller "claimed to be from Commbank, sounded professional", while another described a caller attempting to pitch "Vodafone or something" despite the poor call quality making details unclear. A health insurance deal pitch was also logged, suggesting the number may be part of a rotating impersonation operation.
Call Patterns and Contributor Experiences
Multiple contributors reported receiving repeated calls from 0405 342 673. One stated "keeps calling", and when attempting to call back, discovered the number returned an out-of-service message. This disconnect-on-callback pattern is a strong indicator of call spoofing or number masking.
Call timing data shows activity across multiple months from September 2025 through March 2026, with no clear peak period. Reports came via both answered calls and missed calls, suggesting the caller is attempting to establish contact through multiple attempts. Several contributors noted attempting to engage or call back, only to find the number defunct or non-responsive.
The mix of silent calls, impersonation attempts, and personal information requests across 22 reports indicates 0405342673 is likely used as part of a broader scam operation, with different tactics being tested on different recipients.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why do I get silence when I answer 0405 342 673?
Six contributors have reported silent calls from 0405 342 673 (0405342673) where the caller remains on the line without speaking. This is a common scam tactic used to verify that your phone number is active and that you will answer calls. The scammer can then resell your confirmed number to other scam operations, or use it for later contact attempts. Do not engage - simply hang up immediately.
What happens when I call 0405342673 back?
Multiple contributors who attempted to return calls to 0405 342 673 report that the number either goes to an out-of-service message or disconnects. This is a sign of call spoofing or number masking, where scammers use temporary or fake numbers to hide their real identity. Never call back - if you're concerned about a legitimate call, use the official phone number from the organisation's website or your statements.
Is 0405 342 673 a real Vodafone number?
0405342673 is registered as a Vodafone mobile number, but community reports indicate it is likely compromised, spoofed, or part of a scam operation. The fact that callbacks result in out-of-service messages and that the number exhibits classic scam patterns (silent calls, personal information requests, impersonation) suggests the number is not being used legitimately by Vodafone. Vodafone numbers can be hijacked or used fraudulently.
Why is someone claiming to be from Commbank when calling 0405 342 673?
One contributor reported a caller from 0405 342 673 who claimed to be from Commbank and sounded professional. This is a common impersonation tactic where scammers spoof caller ID or simply lie about their identity to gain trust and extract information or money. Real banks will never cold-call you asking for personal information. Hang up and call Commbank directly using the number on the back of your card or their official website.
What personal information are callers from 0405342673 trying to get?
Four contributors report that callers from 0405 342 673 (0405342673) were attempting to obtain personal information, including names, addresses, and financial details.
