Suspicious Activity Reports for 0468 253 123
Two contributors have reported activity from 0468 253 123 (also written as 0468253123) that raises questions about the caller's intent. The reports describe an unusual pattern: callers appear to disconnect or remain silent when recipients attempt conversation, suggesting the calls may be automated screening, silent testing, or deliberate evasion tactics.
One contributor noted a distinctive behaviour from 0468 253 123 - the caller will not respond to questions or conversation. According to this report, attempting to engage the caller results in the line going dead. This type of behaviour is consistent with either robocalling systems that disconnect when they detect a live person answering, or callers deliberately avoiding identification.
What Contributors Experienced
The first report about 0468 253 123 came from someone who answered the call. Rather than hearing a sales pitch or request, the caller remained silent or disconnected when the recipient tried to speak. The contributor's observation - "Never say anything - they will hang up" - suggests the caller may be testing whether the number is active and monitored, a tactic sometimes used in callback scams or list verification.
A second report about 0468253123 describes an unexpected incoming call that went unanswered. The contributor received the missed call without any voicemail message left behind, which is consistent with automated or silent calling patterns.
Call Patterns and Timing
The two reports for 0468 253 123 span early June 2026, with one call answered during the day and one missed call. Neither contributor reported multiple repeated calls from this number, though the small sample size means patterns remain unclear. The lack of voicemail messages and the silent/disconnect behaviour suggest these may be automated systems rather than traditional telemarketing calls.

Is 0468 253 123 a known scam number?
Two reports exist for 0468 253 123 (0468253123), but they describe unusual silence and disconnects rather than a typical scam pitch.

Why does 0468 253 123 hang up when I try to speak?
The silent or disconnect behaviour reported from 0468 253 123 could indicate several things: an automated system detecting a live person and routing accordingly, a deliberate tactic to avoid identification, or a list verification call testing whether your number is active. Do not return the call.
Should I block 0468 253 123?
Yes. If 0468 253 123 calls you unexpectedly and the caller is silent or hangs up when you speak, blocking the number is appropriate. There is no legitimate reason for a real business or service to call and disconnect when you answer.
What should I do if 0468 253 123 keeps calling?
If you receive repeated calls from 0468 253 123 (0468253123), block the number in your phone settings first. Then report the ongoing calls to the ACMA at acma.gov.au or to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au. Provide details of when calls occurred and what happened when you answered.
Is 0468 253 123 a callback scam setup?
The silent or disconnect pattern from 0468 253 123 reported by contributors is consistent with callback scam testing, where automated systems call to verify active numbers before scammers attempt contact later.
