Repeated Call Pattern Reports for 0468 218 148
Two contributors have flagged 0468 218 148 (also written as 0468218148) for unwanted contact behaviour. The most detailed report describes a persistent calling pattern where callers attempt to reach the recipient repeatedly, cycling through different phone numbers before eventually escalating to mobile contact attempts.
One contributor noted that calls from 0468 218 148 and associated numbers follow a deliberate strategy: initial contact attempts from landline numbers in the 0468 2** range are followed by a shift to mobile numbers when previous attempts go unanswered. On the day of reporting, this contributor received six consecutive calls from mobile numbers starting with 0420 122 and 0420 123, indicating an organised calling campaign rather than random contact.
What Contributors Are Experiencing
The calling behaviour associated with 0468 218 148 suggests a coordinated contact strategy designed to increase the likelihood of reaching someone. One contributor reported that after periods of no answer from the original 0468 2** landline format, callers switch tactics and begin calling from mobile numbers, which are less likely to be automatically filtered or blocked.
A contributor receiving calls from 0468 218 148 described the pattern as frequent and escalating in nature. The shift from landline to mobile contact attempts indicates the caller is not simply auto-dialling a list, but rather following up with persistence when initial contact fails. This behaviour is characteristic of scam or unwanted sales operations that use multiple numbers to circumvent blocking and filtering.
Report Patterns and Timing
The contributor who experienced calls from 0468 218 148 reported the pattern occurring today, with multiple calls received in close succession. The strategy of using related number sequences (0420 122 *** and 0420 123 ***) alongside the original 0468 218 148 suggests the caller has access to a block of numbers rather than a single contact point.
One contributor flagged 0468 218 148 without providing specific details, but the pattern described in the more detailed report indicates this is not an isolated incident or accidental misdial. The deliberate escalation from landline to mobile contact attempts, combined with the frequency of calls, suggests systematic unwanted contact activity.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0468 218 148
If 0468 218 148 calls you:
- Do not: Answer the call, return any call, or engage with the caller
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately, and note any related numbers that contact you
- Consider: Diverting all unknown and private numbers to voicemail to prevent repeated interruption
- Record: Keep a log of when calls occur and which numbers are used, as this helps identify calling patterns
If you receive multiple calls from 0468 218 148 or related numbers in succession, do not assume the caller will stop after one attempt. The pattern reported suggests persistence is part of their strategy, so blocking should happen after the first unwanted call.

I'm going to try diverting all unknown numbers to voicemail and record the international 3-tone sound for a disconnected number.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why do callers from 0468 218 148 switch from landline to mobile numbers?
According to reports about 0468 218 148, the shift from landline numbers to mobile numbers appears deliberate. One contributor described receiving calls from 0468 2** landlines, and after no answer, the caller switched to contacting from 0420 mobile numbers. This escalation pattern suggests the caller is not using a simple automated dialler, but rather following up with alternative numbers when initial attempts fail. This is a known tactic to bypass call filters and increase contact likelihood.
Should I answer if 0468 218 148 or related numbers call me?
No. Contributors flagged 0468 218 148 specifically because of unwanted repeated contact. Even if you do not recognise the number, answering confirms your number is active and monitored, which typically encourages further calls. The most effective response is to let the call go to voicemail and block the number immediately. If you receive multiple calls from 0468 218 148 or associated numbers, do not engage.
What should I do if I receive calls from multiple numbers related to 0468 218 148?
One contributor reported receiving six consecutive calls from numbers starting with 0420 122 and 0420 123 after the initial contact from 0468 218 148. If you experience this pattern, block each number as it contacts you and keep a record of the sequence. Report the pattern to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and Reverseau, including all numbers used and the timeframe over which they contacted you. Coordinated calling campaigns are more likely to be actioned when multiple numbers in a sequence are reported together.
Is 0468 218 148 a confirmed scam number?
The reports about 0468 218 148 describe suspicious behaviour and unwanted repeated contact, but contributors did not provide details of actual scam claims (such as demands for money, impersonation, or threats). However, the deliberate escalation pattern and persistence reported suggest this is not legitimate contact. If you answer a call from 0468 218 148 or related numbers and the caller makes any demands or claims, record those details and report to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Why are multiple numbers being used instead of just 0468 218 148?
Using multiple numbers is a strategy to evade blocking and call filtering. Contributors familiar with 0468 218 148 may block it, but new numbers starting with 0420 122 or 0420 123 can bypass that block. This method, reported for 0468 218 148 and its associated numbers, is typical of operations relying on high-volume contact despite frequent rejections. It also makes it harder for users to identify the source as a single coordinated campaign.
How can I prevent calls from 0468 218 148 and related numbers?
Block each number individually as it contacts you, and consider diverting all unknown numbers to voicemail. One contributor experiencing calls from 0468 218 148 planned to use a voicemail greeting that mimics a disconnected number, which may discourage future contact. On most Australian phones, you can block numbers through Settings or by using your carrier's call filtering service. Report the numbers to the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) and ACMA (acma.gov.au) so your preferences are recorded with authorities.
