WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did the caller from 0468 249 105 hang up when I answered?
One contributor reported this exact behaviour from 0468249105. The immediate hang-up suggests either an automated robocall system validating whether your line is active, or a callback scam probe. Legitimate callers always leave a voicemail message or speak when you answer. If 0468 249 105 calls again, block the number.
Is 0468249105 a scam number?
Based on the single community report for 0468 249 105, it shows nuisance call behaviour (answering then hanging up immediately) rather than active scam content. However, this pattern can precede scam activity. If 0468249105 calls you again with an actual pitch or threat, report it to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Should I call 0468 249 105 back?

What does it mean if a caller hangs up from 0468249105?
A hang-up from 0468 249 105 when you answer can mean the automated system behind 0468249105 is testing whether your number is still in use, or it could be a callback scam validating the line. Once they confirm an answer, they may call back later with a scam pitch. Block 0468 249 105 if it repeats.
