Robotic and Spam Calls from 04 6802 6998

Six contributors have reported repeated calls from 04 6802 6998 (also written as 0468026998), an Optus mobile number, with a clear pattern of unwanted contact. Three reports are flagged as spam, while three remain uncertain about the caller's identity. The common thread across all reports is persistent calling with minimal or no communication, and at least one confirmed instance of a robotic voice on the line.

One contributor who finally answered after multiple attempts from 0468026998 encountered a robotic voice that was difficult to understand. They speculated the calls might be from UTAS (University of Tasmania), though this remains unconfirmed. The lack of voicemail messages combined with repeated callback attempts suggests either an automated system or a caller deliberately avoiding leaving identification.

Call Patterns and Repeated Contact

Contributors report that 04 6802 6998 has called multiple times without leaving voicemail messages. One contributor received calls twice within a single week in late January. Another experienced several calls over a three-day period in early February before deciding to answer. When one contributor tried calling back the number 0468026998, they received an engaged signal, preventing callback verification.

The calling behaviour from 04 6802 6998 appears systematic rather than sporadic. Multiple missed calls without voicemails, combined with the robotic voice experience, suggest an automated dialling system or a calling campaign rather than a personal contact attempt. One report mentions an initial greeting message saying 'this is the initial greeting' with no name or organisation identified.
