Spam Reports for 04 8004 8101
Two contributors have flagged calls from 04 8004 8101 (also written as 0480048101) for suspicious behaviour. The reports indicate a pattern of unsolicited contact with at least one call involving a dubious offer.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do if 04 8004 8101 offers me a discount on my electricity bill?
Do not engage with the offer or provide any personal or account information. Hang up and contact your electricity provider directly using the number on your bill or their official website to verify if they initiated contact. Legitimate providers will not cold-call with discount offers, and unsolicited billing discounts are a common scam tactic. Block 0480048101 to prevent further calls.
Why did 04 8004 8101 call but leave no voicemail?
Missed calls with no message from 0480048101 typically indicate either automated dialling systems testing for active numbers, or spam filtering attempts. These calls rarely have legitimate purposes. If 04 8004 8101 continues to call without leaving messages, block the number and report it to ACMA.
Is 0480048101 a legitimate business number?
The number 04 8004 8101 is registered to Pivotel Satellite, a satellite communications provider. However, community reports suggest it has been used for suspicious calls offering electricity discounts. The legitimate registration does not guarantee the number hasn't been spoofed or misused. Always verify any business claim independently by calling the official number on your bill.
Can I block 04 8004 8101 on my phone?
Yes, you can block 0480048101 on most mobile phones. Check your phone's settings for call blocking options, or contact your mobile provider for assistance blocking 04 8004 8101. Blocking prevents further calls from this number, though scammers often use different numbers for subsequent attempts.
Should I report 0480048101 to the police?
If you believe 04 8004 8101 attempted to defraud you or scam you, report the details to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au. For serious fraud, you can also contact your local police or report online at cybercrime.gov.au. ACMA also accepts reports of unwanted calls at acma.gov.au, which helps track patterns across multiple numbers.
Why are there only 2 reports for 04 8004 8101?
Low report numbers don't indicate a number is safe. Many spam and scam calls go unreported because people simply hang up or ignore them. If 0480048101 has called you with a suspicious offer, contributing your report helps other Australians identify the number and protect themselves. Even a few reports can reveal patterns of misuse.
