Silent Call Reports for 04 3455 9622
A single contributor has reported receiving a silent call from 04 3455 9622 (also written as 0434559622). The call lasted only one ring before disconnecting, with no voicemail or follow-up contact. This pattern is characteristic of callback scams, where callers use automated systems to ring numbers once, hoping recipients will return the call and incur charges or be connected to a paid service.
The number is allocated to Optus mobile, indicating it may be a legitimate mobile device that has been compromised or spoofed for scam purposes. One-ring disconnects are a common tactic used to trigger curiosity-driven callbacks.
Callback Scam Risk with 0434559622
Silent calls from 04 3455 9622 pose a specific risk: if you return the call, you may be connected to a premium service line or international number, resulting in unexpected charges on your phone bill. The deliberate one-ring pattern is designed to create just enough curiosity to prompt a callback without establishing actual communication.
Callers using this tactic often rely on the fact that people instinctively return missed calls, especially from numbers that appear to be local Australian mobiles rather than obvious spam.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would someone call 04 3455 9622 and hang up after one ring?
One-ring disconnects are a callback scam tactic. The caller uses an automated system to ring numbers once, hoping you'll return the call out of curiosity. If you call back 0434559622, you may be connected to a premium service or international number that charges you money. The single ring is intentional-it's designed to trigger a response without establishing real contact.
Is 0434559622 definitely a scam?
One community report indicates a silent call pattern consistent with callback scams, but a single report doesn't confirm malicious intent with certainty. However, the one-ring-then-disconnect behaviour from 04 3455 9622 is a recognised scam tactic. If the number calls again or follows this pattern repeatedly, it's safer to treat it as suspicious and block it.
Should I call back 04 3455 9622 to find out who it is?
No. Do not return the call to 04 3455 9622 or 0434559622. Callback scams depend on recipients returning the call, which can result in unexpected charges. If you're curious who called, you can search the number on Reverseau or ask friends, but do not dial it yourself.
What charges might I face if I call back 0434559622?
If you return a call to 04 3455 9622 and it connects to a premium service or international number, you could be charged per minute at rates significantly higher than standard calls. Some callbacks are routed to paid information lines or international dialling services. Check your Optus bill for any unusual charges and contact Optus immediately if you spot them.
How do I block 04 3455 9622 on my phone?
On most Australian phones, you can block 0434559622 by going to your phone's Call Settings or Contacts app, finding the number 04 3455 9622, and selecting 'Block' or 'Add to Blocked List'. You can also contact your provider Optus to block the number at network level, which prevents it from reaching your phone at all.
Can I report this to Optus since 04 3455 9622 is an Optus mobile?
Yes. Contact Optus customer service and report the silent call from 04 3455 9622. While the number is allocated to Optus, it may be spoofed or the device may have been compromised. Optus can investigate and may be able to block 0434559622 at the network level. Also report the incident to ACMA and Scamwatch for national tracking.
