04 8004 5013 (0480045013): 5 reports of robocalls, survey spam, and callback requests from a foreign call centre. Callers difficult to understand, often silent or no message left.
Robocall and Survey Spam Reports for 04 8004 5013
Five contributors have reported calls from 04 8004 5013 (also written as 0480045013), with the majority involving automated or difficult-to-understand foreign call centre activity. Two distinct patterns emerge: robocalls leaving only voicemail noise or silence, and callback requests disguised as market research surveys.
The number is allocated to a satellite mobile service provider, which is unusual for typical survey or call centre operations. This allocation suggests either spoofing of the number or a legitimate but poorly managed commercial operation.
What Callers from 04 8004 5013 Say
One contributor picked up a call from 0480045013 and spoke with someone claiming to represent a marketing research company. The caller asked if the recipient had seven minutes available for a survey about politics. When the contributor declined, the caller thanked them and ended the call politely.
Other contributors experienced robocall activity from 04 8004 5013 with no identifiable message content. One report describes voicemail left by the number containing only call centre background noise with no actual message. Another contributor who answered received a call from what they described as a foreign call centre with hard-to-understand audio quality.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports for 0480045013 span from June to December, indicating sporadic rather than persistent calling behaviour. One contributor received multiple calls on the same occasion from 04 8004 5013 before blocking the number. Most calls resulted in either no message left or vague voicemail content, suggesting mass dialling rather than targeted contact attempts.
Three contributors did not answer the calls from 04 8004 5013, and no voicemail or message was left in those cases. This pattern is consistent with robocall systems testing whether numbers are active, rather than genuine attempts to deliver a message.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 8004 5013
If 04 8004 5013 calls you:
- Do not: Answer callbacks to unknown numbers, provide personal information to unsolicited callers, or feel obligated to complete surveys from unexpected calls
- Do: Let calls go to voicemail, block the number immediately if it calls repeatedly, and verify any legitimate survey requests independently by calling the organisation's published number
- Be aware: Survey scams sometimes transition to phishing or credential theft after initial contact, so even apparently benign survey requests should be declined if unsolicited

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 04 8004 5013 a legitimate survey company?
One contributor reported a polite interaction with someone claiming to conduct political surveys from 04 8004 5013, but multiple other reports describe robocalls with only noise or silence. The mix of legitimate-sounding survey requests and obvious robocall activity suggests either inconsistent operation or number spoofing. If you receive a survey request from 0480045013, verify it independently by contacting the research company directly using a phone number you find yourself, rather than relying on contact information provided by the caller.
Why does 04 8004 5013 leave voicemail with only noise?
Robocall systems often use mass dialling to verify whether numbers are active and monitored. When a call from 04 8004 5013 reaches voicemail or an answering machine, the system may record background noise or leave no message at all. This is not a technical glitch but an intentional pattern used to identify numbers to target with follow-up attempts. Contributors who received such calls from 0480045013 reported blocking the number to prevent further contact.
Should I call back a number that called me from 04 8004 5013?
No. Callback requests embedded in robocalls are a common scam tactic. Even if the initial call from 04 8004 5013 appeared to be from a survey company, returning a call means you confirm your number is active and monitored, increasing the likelihood of further unwanted calls from 0480045013 or similar numbers. One contributor who answered a call from this number found it difficult to understand due to poor audio quality, a typical marker of overseas call centre spoofing.
What should I do if 04 8004 5013 keeps calling?
Block the number immediately in your phone settings. If 0480045013 continues to call from different numbers, report the pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au and register on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. One contributor received multiple calls from 04 8004 5013 before blocking, indicating the number may be programmed for repeat attempts. Each report to ACMA strengthens the case against persistent robocall operations.
Can I report 04 8004 5013 to the Do Not Call Register?
Yes. Register your phone number at donotcall.gov.au to opt out of unsolicited marketing calls and surveys, including those from 0480045013. While this won't stop calls that have already been dialled, it makes it illegal for legitimate survey companies to contact you in future. If you continue receiving calls from 04 8004 5013 after registering, report this breach to ACMA, as it indicates deliberate violation of the Telemarketing Industry Standard.
Why is 04 8004 5013 registered to a satellite mobile provider?
The unusual allocation of 0480045013 to a satellite mobile service provider rather than a standard telecom suggests either spoofing (where the true originating number is masked) or a legitimate but atypical operation. Multiple contributors described the call centre as foreign and difficult to understand, which is consistent with overseas call centre spoofing. If you believe 04 8004 5013 is being spoofed, report this to ACMA at acma.gov.au with details of when the call occurred and what was said.
