One contributor reported repeated calls from 04 6808 9968 (0468089968) with no voicemail left. Mobile number showing suspicious behaviour.
Repeated Calls from 04 6808 9968
A contributor has flagged 04 6808 9968 (also written as 0468089968) for repeated calling behaviour without leaving any message or attempting contact via text. The caller rang multiple times while the recipient was unavailable, but when called back, the line produced only beeping sounds before disconnecting. This pattern of repeated attempts combined with an unresponsive callback suggests deliberate evasion rather than a legitimate missed call.
The number is registered to Optus Mobile as a mobile service, which makes it less immediately obvious as a business line. The lack of voicemail or follow-up message is notable, as legitimate callers typically leave some form of contact request.
What Callers from 04 6808 9968 Do
According to the report, the caller from 0468089968 engaged in persistent calling without establishing any communication method. When the recipient attempted to return the call to 04 6808 9968, they encountered only beeping tones and line failure. This non-standard response when called back suggests the number may be spoofed, using a callback scam technique, or deliberately set up to evade direct contact.
The contributor's assessment that this behaviour aligns with scammer tactics appears reasonable given the pattern of repeated contact with no legitimate communication attempt.
What to Do If You Receive Calls from 04 6808 9968
If 04 6808 9968 calls you:
- Do not: Answer unknown numbers, return the call, or engage if they do speak
- Do: Let the call go to voicemail, block the number immediately, and mark it as spam
- Do not: Try calling back if you don't recognise the number, as this may confirm your line is active
- Do: If the calls persist, document the dates and times, then report to ACMA
Repeated calls without voicemail are a common tactic used by scammers to either trigger a callback or wear down your defences through annoyance.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would a scammer call repeatedly without leaving a voicemail?
Repeated calls without messages are often used to either provoke a callback (which confirms your number is active and monitored) or to frustrate you into answering. The contributor's experience with 04 6808 9968 not responding normally when called back suggests the number may be part of a callback scam or spoofed identity.
What does it mean when I call back 0468089968 and only hear beeping?
Beeping sounds when calling back to 04 6808 9968 indicate the line is either disconnected, not a genuine phone number, or programmed to produce non-voice responses. This is a red flag for spoofed numbers or scammer tactics designed to prevent legitimate callback attempts.
Should I answer if 04 6808 9968 calls again?
No. The pattern reported from 04 6808 9968 - repeated calls with no voicemail and unresponsive callback - is not typical of legitimate callers. Answering confirms your number is active and monitored, which is exactly what repeated-call scammers want.
Can Optus Mobile block calls from 0468089968?
You can block 04 6808 9968 directly through your phone settings or contact Optus to report the number. However, most repeated-call scammers cycle through similar numbers, so blocking one number may not stop all calls. Report to ACMA and Scamwatch for broader network-level action.
Is 04 6808 9968 a legitimate Optus customer number?
The number 0468089968 is registered as an Optus Mobile service, but this doesn't guarantee it's legitimate. Scammers frequently use or spoof real mobile numbers. The contributor's experience with repeated calls and non-responsive callback from 04 6808 9968 strongly suggests misuse.
What should I do if 04 6808 9968 keeps calling after I block it?
Persistent calling from 04 6808 9968 even after blocking is worth reporting directly to ACMA at acma.gov.au with dates, times, and a description of the repeated-call pattern. Keep a log of each attempt. You can also report the harassment to your local police and to Scamwatch.
