Repeated Calls from 0468 248 860
Three contributors have reported activity from 0468 248 860 (also written as 0468248860), with a clear pattern of repeated unwanted contact. The most recent report describes four separate calls in a single day from variations of the 0468 number range, each with slightly different digits. One contributor noted that their phone's spam detection automatically blocked the call from 0468 248 860 and directed it to voicemail without the caller leaving a message.
The behaviour of calling multiple times from sequentially varied numbers is a hallmark of automated spam dialling systems. Contributors report the same routine repeating across dates, suggesting a coordinated spam campaign rather than individual calls.
What Callers from 0468 248 860 Do
When 0468 248 860 reaches a line, the caller typically does not leave a voicemail message. One contributor described receiving the call and having it automatically flagged as suspected spam by their phone's built-in detection system. Another contributor reported that after blocking 0468 248 860, similar calls continued to arrive from numbers with the same 0468 prefix but different final digits.
The lack of any message content makes it impossible to determine the intended scam type from the reports, but the systematic approach of calling from multiple related numbers suggests a deliberate spam operation designed to bypass blocking attempts.
Call Patterns and Timing

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 0468 248 860 keep calling with different final digits?
Automated spam systems often use number variation tactics to bypass call-blocking software. When you block 0468 248 860, the system dials from 0468 248 861, 0468 248 862, and so on. Each slight variation appears as a 'new' number to your phone's blocker. One contributor reported four calls from the 0468 range in a single day, confirming this pattern is active with this number range.
Should I answer a call from 0468 248 860 to find out who it is?
No. Contributors report that 0468 248 860 does not leave voicemail messages and the calls appear to be automated. Answering confirms your number is active and monitored by a person, which can increase future call volume. Let it ring through to voicemail and block the number instead.
Is 0468 248 860 a legitimate business number?
There is no allocation data (service provider or business name) associated with 0468 248 860 in the reports. Combined with the pattern of repeated calls with no message left, this strongly suggests the number is being used for spam purposes rather than legitimate business contact.
What's the purpose of calls from 0468 248 860 if no message is left?
Without a message, the exact intent is unclear from the reports, but the automated pattern suggests one of several possibilities: testing whether your number is active (for targeted spam), attempting to trigger a callback (callback scams), or part of a mass spam dialling campaign. The key is that legitimate callers typically leave a message.
Can I report 0468 248 860 to the Do Not Call Register?
You can register your number at donotcall.gov.au, which applies to legitimate telemarketers. However, spam and scam operators often ignore the Do Not Call Register. Blocking 0468 248 860 directly on your phone and reporting to ACMA at acma.gov.au is more effective for this type of activity.
If I block 0468 248 860, will the calls stop?
Blocking 0468 248 860 will prevent calls from that specific number, but one contributor reported that blocking only prompted calls from similar variations (0468 248 XXX). You may need to block multiple related numbers or use a third-party call-blocking app that can block entire number ranges or similar patterns.
