Unknown Caller Reports for 04 2383 1273
A single contributor has flagged 04 2383 1273 (also written as 0423831273) as an unknown caller making repeated contact. The report indicates the contributor received two calls from this number in a single day, with one call arriving at 10:40pm - an unusual time for legitimate business contact. The contributor had no prior knowledge of who was calling and found the persistence concerning enough to report the number to Reverseau.
The number is registered to Optus Mobile, suggesting it is a mobile phone rather than a business landline. This doesn't automatically indicate malicious intent, but the late-night timing and lack of caller identification raise legitimate questions about the caller's purpose.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 2383 1273
If 0423831273 calls you:
- Do not: Answer calls from unknown numbers or return the call immediately without verification
- Do: Let unknown calls go to voicemail, allowing the caller to leave a message explaining their purpose
- Do: Block the number if calls continue after voicemail requests to stop contacting you
- Do: Verify any callback requests through official channels - never call a number provided by the caller
If the caller leaves a voicemail claiming to represent a bank, government agency, or service provider, independently verify the contact using official contact details from the organisation's website or your account statements. Legitimate organisations will not pressure you during callback conversations or demand immediate payment.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I answer if 04 2383 1273 calls me?
It's safer to let the call go to voicemail initially. If the caller has a legitimate reason to contact you, they'll leave a message explaining their identity and purpose. This approach protects you from accidental engagement with persistent unknown callers like 0423831273 while still allowing genuine contacts to reach you.
Why would someone call at 10:40pm from 04 2383 1273?
The late-night call timing reported for 0423831273 is unusual for most legitimate business contacts, which typically operate during standard business hours. This pattern can indicate either a scammer operating across time zones, a debt collector attempting contact, or someone with legitimate but non-urgent reasons calling outside normal hours. Always verify the caller's identity independently before engaging.
Is 04 2383 1273 definitely a scam?
Based on the single report received, 0423831273 is an unknown caller making repeated contact - but there's insufficient evidence to confirm it's a scam. The contributor simply reported receiving two calls without knowing who was calling. If you receive calls from 04 2383 1273 and the caller makes suspicious claims (demanding payment, requesting personal details, or threatening legal action), that would indicate scam activity worth reporting.
Can I block 04 2383 1273 on my phone?
Yes. Most smartphones allow you to block specific numbers directly. For 0423831273 on iPhone, open the recent call, tap the info icon, and select 'Block this Caller.' On Android, open the call log, long-press the number, and select 'Block number.' If you're on Optus (the same provider), you can also use Optus' built-in call blocking features through your account settings.
What if 04 2383 1273 leaves a voicemail claiming to be from my bank?
Never call the number back or click any links in an associated message. Instead, hang up and independently contact your bank using the number on your bank card or official website. Scammers spoofing bank numbers often pose as fraud investigators requesting verification details. Your legitimate bank will never ask you to confirm passwords, PINs, or full credit card numbers via voicemail or unsolicited calls.
Where can I report 0423831273 if I receive repeated unwanted calls?
Report to Reverseau (reverseau.com.au) to help other Australians identify this caller. If the calls become harassing or threatening, report to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) at acma.gov.au. If the caller makes scam-related claims, also report to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au. Each report strengthens the community understanding of 04 2383 1273's behaviour.
