A contributor noted that calls are not limited to 04 8004 4693 alone-multiple numbers starting with 0480 044 xxx have called the same person repeatedly.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 8004 4693

If 04 8004 4693 calls you:

• Do not: Engage with claims about electricity or gas discounts, return the call, or provide personal information
• Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately, and note whether similar calls come from related numbers starting with 0480 044
• If it's silent: Hang up at once-silent calls are often used to verify active numbers for later targeting
• Verify independently: If the caller claimed to be from your electricity or gas provider, contact that provider directly using the official number on your bill-never use a number the caller provided
