Suspicious Call Report for 0423 372 522
One contributor has flagged 0423 372 522 (also written as 0423372522) as suspicious following a missed call. The call was brief, lasting only seconds, with no voicemail message left behind. This calling pattern is commonly associated with scam operations testing active numbers or telemarketing campaigns.
The number is registered to Optus Mobile, an Australian mobile provider. The lack of follow-up message is a typical indicator that the call may have been automated or part of a broader dialling campaign rather than a legitimate personal contact attempt.
What This Call Pattern Suggests
When 0423372522 called, the contributor received only a short ring before the line disconnected. No identification was provided, and no voicemail was left despite having the opportunity to do so. Contributors often observe this behaviour from robocall systems that automatically dial numbers and drop the line if voicemail is detected, or from scammers testing whether a number is actively monitored before launching a full social engineering attack.
The absence of any message or callback number makes it impossible to determine the caller's intent from this single incident, but the pattern itself warrants caution.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0423 372 522
If 0423 372 522 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, answer if it rings again, or engage with any follow-up contact
- Do: Let missed calls go to voicemail, block the number if it calls repeatedly, and report it if the pattern continues

Should I be worried about a missed call from 0423 372 522?
A single missed call with no follow-up is low risk, but the calling pattern reported for 0423 372 522 (brief ring, no message) is typical of scam or telemarketing operations. If the number calls again, block it and monitor for repeated contact.

Yes. On most Australian mobile phones, you can block 0423372522 by selecting the call in your call history, tapping the info icon, and choosing 'Block this Caller' or similar option. The steps vary by phone type, but the blocked number will no longer be able to reach you.
Is 0423 372 522 a real Optus number?
