What should I do if 0421 379 306 calls me claiming to be from a bank or government agency?
Do not provide any information. Hang up and independently verify by calling the official number of the organisation they claimed to represent. Legitimate organisations will not be offended by you verifying their identity before sharing details. This is especially important with 0421379306, given the report indicating identity misrepresentation.
Is 0421 379 306 definitely a scam?
One community contributor has reported suspicious behaviour from 0421 379 306, indicating the caller was not who they claimed to be. However, a single report cannot definitively confirm the number is always used for scams. Exercise caution and verify identities independently if this number contacts you.
Can I block 0421 379 306?
Yes. Most smartphones allow you to block numbers directly from your call log. Blocking 0421379306 will prevent calls from reaching you, though determined callers may use different numbers. If calls persist from different numbers, contact your provider (Optus, in this case) about additional call filtering options.
Should I call back 0421 379 306?
No. Do not call back 0421379306. If the caller was misrepresenting their identity (as reported), calling back may reconnect you with a scammer or put you at risk. If the call was important, the caller will leave a voicemail or message with legitimate contact details.
What makes 0421 379 306 suspicious compared to other numbers?
The community report for 0421 379 306 specifically indicates the caller was not who they claimed to be, which is a classic indicator of fraud or impersonation. Many spam or telemarketing calls are unwanted but honest; this number was flagged for active identity deception by the contributor.

Report 0421379306 to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) if you suspect fraud, or ACMA (acma.gov.au) for unwanted calls. You can also contribute a report directly to Reverseau to help other Australians.
