Community report for 04 7250 6613 (0472506613): A Telstra mobile number flagged for mysterious calls asking to chat, then disconnecting when questioned.
Suspicious Activity Reported for 04 7250 6613
A contributor has flagged 04 7250 6613 (also written as 0472506613) for unusual call behaviour. The Telstra mobile number called asking to chat, but when the recipient questioned the caller's identity, the call was disconnected immediately.
This type of behaviour can indicate several possibilities: reconnaissance calls used to verify active phone numbers, callback scams designed to catch people off guard, or simply unsolicited contact from an unknown party. The abrupt hang-up when asked for identification is the key concern, as legitimate callers typically provide their name and purpose upfront.
What the Contributor Experienced
The call to 04 7250 6613 came through with no explanation of purpose. When the contributor asked who was calling, rather than answer, the caller disconnected. This pattern matches evasive calling behaviour where the caller may be testing whether the number is actively monitored or gathering information for later contact attempts.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 7250 6613
If 0472506613 calls you:
- Do not: Engage with vague callers, confirm your identity, or agree to "chat" without knowing who they are
- Do: Let unknown numbers go to voicemail, ask the caller to identify themselves and their organisation, verify any claim independently using official contact details
- If repeated: Block the number in your phone settings and report it to your carrier
- If they claim to be from a company: Hang up and call the organisation directly using a number from their official website, not any number the caller provides

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would someone call and disconnect when asked who they are?
This behaviour often indicates the caller was conducting reconnaissance - testing whether your number is active and monitored. Some callback scams use this tactic to verify numbers before follow-up attempts. The report about 04 7250 6613 shows exactly this pattern: vague initial contact followed by disconnection when challenged.
Is 0472506613 definitely a scam?
Based on the single report, we cannot confirm it is a scam, only that the behaviour is suspicious. The caller asked vaguely to 'chat' without identifying themselves or their purpose, then hung up when questioned. This alone warrants caution, but legitimate callers occasionally display unprofessional behaviour too. If 04 7250 6613 calls again and provides clear identification of themselves and their organisation, you can verify independently before engaging.
What should I do if 04 7250 6613 calls me again?
Answer briefly without volunteering information. If asked to chat without explanation of who is calling or why, request their name and organisation. Ask them to call back on a verified contact number for that organisation. Do not stay on the line with someone who will not identify themselves. If calls from 0472506613 continue, block the number and report it to ACMA and your phone provider.
Could this be a wrong number or accidental call?
Possibly, though the deliberate hang-up when asked for identification suggests otherwise. Accidental callers usually apologise and explain when questioned. The pattern on 04 7250 6613 - vague greeting followed by immediate disconnection when challenged - is consistent with intentional evasive behaviour rather than a mistake.
How do I report this number to authorities?
You can report 0472506613 to the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) at acma.gov.au, or to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au if you believe it is part of a scam. Contact your phone provider, Telstra, to notify them of the activity on their network. You can also report your experience with 04 7250 6613 directly on Reverseau to help other Australians.
Should I block 0472506613 now or wait?
If the single call from 04 7250 6613 was unsettling or the behaviour felt evasive, blocking now is reasonable. You can always unblock later if needed. If you choose to keep the line open, ensure you never confirm personal details, bank information, or identity to unidentified callers. A second call from 0472506613 with the same pattern would justify immediate blocking.
