Silent Calls and Nuisance Reports for 0420 104 704

Contributors have reported 12 separate incidents involving 0420 104 704 (also written as 0420104704), with a clear pattern of nuisance and silent call activity. Three distinct reports mention the caller answering but remaining silent for several seconds before hanging up, a common tactic used in robocall and callback scam operations. One contributor noted they now have a growing blocked list due to repeated calls from this number, while another reported receiving 2-3 consecutive calls in rapid succession.

Beyond silent calls, 0420104704 has been flagged for aggressive behaviour and attempted impersonation. One contributor received a mouthful of swear words upon answering, while another reported a caller claiming to be from the "Australian Information Line" with a distinctly international call centre background. A separate report describes a scam call where the caller claimed to want to review the recipient's superannuation details - a known impersonation tactic targeting financial information.

What Callers from 0420 104 704 Do

The behaviour pattern from 0420104704 is predominantly silent call activity. Multiple contributors report answering only to encounter silence lasting 10-15 seconds before the line goes dead. These silent calls are typical of automated robocall systems testing whether a number is active, or callback scam operations designed to provoke a return call to a premium service.

When callers from 0420 104 704 do speak, reports indicate two distinct approaches. The first involves immediate aggression, with one contributor describing receiving "a mouthful of swear words" - suggesting either deliberate harassment or a system designed to provoke an emotional reaction. The second involves attempted impersonation, where callers falsely claim authority or affiliation. One report mentions a caller introducing themselves as being from the "Australian Information Line," while another describes a caller seeking to "review superannuation details," a classic social engineering approach to extract financial information.

Contributors also report that 0420 104 704 operates as part of a broader pattern of 0420 numbered calls, with one person noting they blocked this specific number only to receive similar calls from 0420 102 805 immediately after. This behaviour pattern is consistent with robocall campaigns using sequential number ranges.

Call Patterns and Timing

Reports span from August 2024 through November 2025, indicating sustained activity over more than a year. The calls arrive across different channels - some answered immediately, others missed entirely without voicemail. One contributor reported receiving calls from 0420 104 704 during the night hours (02:32 and 03:00 UTC, indicating early morning Australian time), suggesting no regard for reasonable calling times.

The frequency pattern is notable: one contributor explicitly stated 0420 104 704 calls "2-3 times in a row," and another mentioned adding it to a growing blocked list, implying repeated contact. The silent call incidents cluster across multiple reports in August and December 2024, suggesting either sustained robocall activity or multiple distinct campaigns using this number.

Interestingly, 0420104704 appears to operate alongside other suspicious numbers. One report mentions receiving both calls from 0420104704 and a separate spam call from 03 5746 4251, while another notes the pattern of sequential 0420 numbers being used in similar campaigns.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0420 104 704

If 0420104704 calls you:

• Do not: Return the call, speak to the caller if they remain silent, or provide any personal or financial information
• Do: Let it go to voicemail immediately, block the number in your phone contacts, and note the call time and date
• If it's a silent call: Hang up immediately - do not stay on the line, do not press buttons, and do not return the call. Silent calls are designed to test active numbers or provoke callback to premium services
