Silent Call Reports for 04 8003 4381
Six contributors have reported activity from 04 8003 4381 (also written as 0480034381), with a notable pattern of silent or abruptly terminated calls. One contributor explicitly flagged a silent call from 0480034381 where the caller knew their first name before hanging up - a common callback scam indicator. This particular report about 04 8003 4381 suggests potential data harvesting, as callers possessed personal information before engagement.
The mix of reports about 0480034381 reflects both suspicious behaviour and at least one legitimate contact. A contributor confirmed the number belongs to an alarm monitoring company, though this doesn't explain the silent call and callback attempts logged by other contributors to 04 8003 4381.
What Callers from 04 8003 4381 Attempt
Contributors report distinctive calling behaviour from 04 8003 4381. One report describes a caller who remained silent for over a minute, then asked "hi yeah is this..." using an incorrect name before hanging up immediately when questioned. Another contributor noted receiving a call from 0480034381 where the caller knew their first name, then disconnected without explanation.
A separate report mentions repeated calls from multiple 0480 numbers, with callback attempts that yielded no connection - a classic callback scam pattern where scammers dial large batches of numbers, hang up, and wait for callbacks to confirm active numbers. One contributor simply blocked 04 8003 4381 without engagement, describing the interaction as untrustworthy enough to warrant immediate action.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports span several months in 2025, with calls arriving across different times of day. One call from 04 8003 4381 came in early morning (6:35 AM), while another reached a contributor at 9:45 AM. The silent call to 0480034381 lasted over a minute before the abrupt verbal exchange, suggesting a potential auto-dialling system that connects to agents inconsistently.
Contributors describe call frequency varying from isolated incidents to repeated contact from similar 0480 numbers. The pattern of multiple 0480 calls reported by one contributor, combined with failed callback connections, indicates possible batch calling campaigns rather than individual errors.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does it mean if 04 8003 4381 calls but says nothing?
Silent calls from 0480034381 are often callback scam indicators. Scammers dial large batches of numbers, disconnect, and monitor which ones generate return calls to confirm active targets. Contributors report this exact behaviour with 04 8003 4381 - silence followed by hang-up, sometimes after the caller states an incorrect name. Do not call back.
Why did the caller from 04 8003 4381 know my first name?
One contributor received a call from 0480034381 where the caller knew their first name before disconnecting. This suggests the number is being used for targeted contact campaigns using harvested personal data. This is a red flag for scam activity - legitimate alarm companies would identify themselves immediately, not remain silent and hang up.
Is 04 8003 4381 a legitimate alarm monitoring company?
One contributor confirmed 0480034381 belongs to an alarm monitoring company and marked it legitimate. However, other reports from 04 8003 4381 describe silent calls, incorrect name-matching, and callback scam patterns inconsistent with normal alarm company operations. If you expect a legitimate alarm call, verify independently by ringing the company's main number from their website rather than returning a call to 04 8003 4381.
Why do I keep getting calls from different 0480 numbers?
A contributor reported repeated calls from multiple 0480 numbers with failed callback connections. This pattern suggests batch calling campaigns where scammers dial thousands of numbers from a range. The 0480 prefix in this case relates to a satellite provider (Pivotel), and the batch calling behaviour indicates your number may have been obtained through data harvesting or listed on a scraped contact list.
What should I do if I already called back 04 8003 4381?
If you called back 0480034381 and spoke to someone, do not provide any further information. Hang up immediately and block the number. If you shared personal details (name, address, date of birth, financial info), monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and consider contacting your bank. Report the call to ACMA at acma.gov.au so this pattern from 04 8003 4381 is tracked.
How do I block 04 8003 4381 on my phone?
