Robocall Recorded Message Reports for 0466 272 367

Two contributors have reported receiving automated calls from 0466 272 367 (also written as 0466272367) featuring a recorded message offering language options. The calls appear to originate from an Optus mobile number, and the pattern suggests a mass robocall campaign using a spoofed or similar-looking caller ID.

What makes this suspicious is the caller ID manipulation. Contributors noted that 0466 272 367 appears to have reversed the last six digits of a similar number, a common tactic used in spoofing attempts to evade identification or make the number seem legitimate at first glance.

What the Recorded Message Says

The robocall from 0466 272 367 plays a generic automated message stating: "For assistants, to speak with a customer service representative, please press 1 for English service or press 2 for Chinese service." The message was left as a voicemail and later converted to text.

This type of prompt is typical of callback scams or unsolicited sales campaigns. By asking callers to press a button, the system confirms the number is active and potentially records the interaction for targeting future calls. The bilingual option may indicate targeting of broader demographics or international fraud operations.

Call Patterns and Contributor Reports

Both reports about 0466 272 367 describe identical experiences, suggesting automated delivery via robocall infrastructure rather than individual operator calls. The consistency indicates this is a coordinated campaign using message-to-text conversion, where voicemails are automatically transcribed and logged by recipients.

The use of an Optus mobile number (0466 272 367) adds a layer of deception, as many consumers trust mobile numbers more than obvious commercial lines. Scammers frequently exploit this by purchasing bulk SIM cards or spoofing legitimate provider numbers.
