Nuisance Call Report for 04 2280 6719
One contributor has flagged 04 2280 6719 (also written as 0422806719) as a nuisance call. The report describes a call that disconnected immediately when answered, a pattern often associated with callback scams, robodiallers testing active numbers, or automated systems filtering for engaged lines.
The call came from an Optus mobile number, which means it originated from an Australian mobile service rather than a fixed line or overseas gateway. This detail alone does not indicate legitimacy - mobile numbers are frequently spoofed or used by scammers.
What Happened When the Call Connected
The contributor who answered 0422806719 reported that the call dropped as soon as they picked up. No message was left, no callback occurred, and no follow-up contact was attempted. This immediate disconnect is typical of several call patterns: robodiallers cycling through number lists to verify which numbers are active, callback scams testing whether a number answers before triggering a return call prompt, or systems with poor connection quality.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 2280 6719
If 0422806719 calls you:
- Do: Let unknown calls go to voicemail on the first attempt
- Do: Block the number if it calls repeatedly
- Do: Check your phone bill for unexpected charges if you received multiple calls
- Do not: Return the call immediately - callback scams rely on you dialling back
- Do not: Provide personal information if the caller tries again
If the same number keeps calling but hanging up, blocking it will prevent further contact. You can block 04 2280 6719 through your phone's settings or contact your provider, Optus, for assistance.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did 04 2280 6719 hang up when I answered?
The contributor who reported 0422806719 experienced the same immediate disconnect. This typically indicates either a robodial system testing whether your number is active, a callback scam checking for engaged lines, or poor connection quality. Scammers often hang up on the first call to verify the number works, then call back later when they're ready to run their scam.
Should I call back 04 2280 6719?
No. Do not return a call to 0422806719 unless you initiated the original contact. Callback scams specifically rely on people redialling the number. If it was a legitimate business, they will call you again with a message or voicemail.
Is 04 2280 6719 from Optus customer service?
The number is allocated to Optus Mobile, but this does not confirm it is Optus customer service. Mobile numbers can be spoofed, and scammers frequently use legitimate carrier allocations in their caller ID. If you need to contact Optus, use the official contact number on your bill or the Optus website, not a number that called you.
What is a callback scam?
Callback scams work by calling a number once and hanging up. When you call back out of curiosity, you're connected to a scammer running a fake tech support, ATO, NBN, or delivery scheme. The initial hang-up from 0422806719 is a red flag for this tactic.
Can I block 04 2280 6719 on my phone?
Yes. On most Australian phones, you can block 0422806719 directly in your contacts, call history, or phone settings. You can also contact Optus and ask them to block the number at the network level, though this is less common for mobile-to-mobile calls.
What should I do if 04 2280 6719 keeps calling?
Block the number immediately and report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au. If the calls are frequent and harassing, you may qualify for additional protections. Keep a record of the date, time, and frequency of calls from 0422806719 to provide to ACMA.
