Robocall Reports for 04 6805 5368

Two contributors have flagged calls from 04 6805 5368 (also written as 0468055368) involving suspicious voicemail messages. One recent report describes a voicemail leaving an automated prompt saying 'press 1 for English' - a common robocall tactic used in scam campaigns.

The second report mentions receiving a call to 0468055368 that left a voicemail, though the contributor's voicemail service wasn't activated so the message couldn't be heard. The pattern of leaving voicemails combined with the robocall behaviour suggests this number may be part of an automated dialling campaign.

What Callers from 04 6805 5368 Do

The robocall from 04 6805 5368 uses a recorded message instructing recipients to press a number to proceed - in this case, 'press 1 for English'. This type of prompt is impossible to execute on a voicemail system and serves as a filtering mechanism to identify active phone numbers. The immediate disconnection when the contributor rang back 0468055368 suggests the system is designed to avoid direct contact.

This behaviour is typical of scam robocalls that use automated systems to blast hundreds of numbers quickly. The Optus mobile origin of 04 6805 5368 indicates the number may be spoofed, as legitimate businesses don't typically use this tactic.

Report Patterns

Both reports about 04 6805 5368 arrived via voicemail, suggesting the callers deliberately left messages rather than waiting for answers. This is consistent with robocall campaigns that aim to create multiple touchpoints. The back-to-back timing of the two reports to 0468055368 (19-20 April) indicates this number may be actively dialling during this period.

Understanding Robocall Tactics

Robocall campaigns using 'press 1 for English' prompts are designed to verify active phone numbers for future scam targeting.

These robocalls often precede more targeted scam attempts like fake bank alerts, tax office impersonations, or tech support scams. Contributors who engage with the initial 0468055368 robocall often report follow-up calls from different numbers within days.
