Impersonation Reports for 0468 010 699
Two contributors have reported suspicious activity from 0468 010 699 (also written as 0468010699), an Optus mobile number. The reports indicate a pattern of impersonation attempts combined with aggressive calling behaviour designed to catch recipients off-guard.
One contributor received a call from 0468 010 699 where the caller claimed to represent a meal delivery service and alleged that the recipient's payment card was at risk. This type of impersonation is commonly used to trick people into disclosing sensitive financial information or clicking malicious links. The caller's claim about card risk is a recognised social engineering tactic intended to create urgency and bypass normal caution.
Repeated Calling Pattern from 0468 010 699
A separate report about 0468010699 describes a suspicious calling pattern that triggered an alert on the recipient's phone. The caller from 0468 010 699 attempted to reach the number, but when it went to voicemail, they immediately disconnected without leaving a message. This behaviour - attempting contact and hanging up instantly when not answered - is consistent with automated systems testing active numbers or social engineering campaigns identifying targets.
The combination of repeated attempts and immediate hang-ups when reaching voicemail suggests the caller is not attempting genuine communication but rather testing whether the number is monitored or identifying which calls are likely to be answered.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did 0468 010 699 hang up when my call went to voicemail?
One contributor reported this exact behaviour from 0468010699 - the caller attempted contact but disconnected immediately when reaching voicemail. This pattern suggests an automated system or social engineering campaign testing whether the number is active and monitored, rather than attempting genuine communication. Scammers often use this tactic to identify working numbers before escalating to full impersonation attempts.
What should I do if 0468 010 699 claims my meal delivery card is compromised?
A contributor received exactly this claim from 0468 010 699, claiming to represent a delivery service with card fraud concerns. This is a recognised impersonation tactic. Do not provide any card details or passwords. Hang up immediately and contact your card issuer directly using the number on the back of your card - never use contact information provided by the caller. Real payment services contact you through secure channels, not unexpected calls.
Is 0468 010 699 a legitimate business number?
No. 0468010699 is registered as an Optus mobile number, not a business line. Legitimate meal delivery services and financial institutions use business phone numbers and official channels. The reports indicate this number is being used for impersonation scams, not legitimate business purposes.
How many people have reported 0468 010 699?
Two contributors have reported activity from 0468 010 699 so far. While this is a smaller number of reports, both describe impersonation attempts and suspicious calling behaviour, establishing a clear pattern of misuse rather than isolated incidents.
Should I block 0468 010 699 on my phone?
Yes. Block 0468010699 immediately after you encounter the call. Repeated blocking of the same number signals to your phone's security systems that it's unwanted, and most modern phones will automatically filter future calls from this number to spam/blocked folders.
What information should I never give to 0468 010 699?
Never provide: full payment card numbers, expiry dates, CVV security codes, PIN codes, passwords, personal identification numbers, date of birth, driver's license details, or banking credentials to any caller from 0468 010 699 or similar unknown numbers. Legitimate organisations will never request these details via unsolicited calls.
