WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 04 8084 0962 a legitimate health insurance company?
One contributor traced a call from 04 8084 0962 claiming to be from Aussie Assure Health Insurance back to a garage in Cranbourne, indicating the caller was impersonating the real company. The legitimate Aussie Assure uses different contact numbers. Always verify by calling the company directly using their official website number, never using contact details provided by the incoming caller from 0480840962.
Why do I receive silent calls from 0480840962?
Two contributors reported picking up calls from 04 8084 0962 to complete silence, with no response when they spoke. Silent calls may be automated systems testing whether your number is active, or they could indicate callback scam tactics. Never return a call to a number you don't recognise, even if they called you first.
Should I call back 04 8084 0962?
No. Contributors who called back 0480840962 found it led to unrelated locations or resulted in being connected to the alleged health insurance company (which had actually impersonated itself). Do not return calls to unknown numbers. If you're concerned about a missed call, contact the organisation directly using a phone number from their official website.
Why does 04 8084 0962 keep calling from different numbers?
One contributor noted that 0480840962 and related numbers all contact about the same health cover offer, suggesting a coordinated campaign using multiple phone numbers. This tactic makes blocking harder and increases the chance a call will get through. Block each number as it calls, and report the pattern to ACMA.
I'm on the Do Not Call Register but 04 8084 0962 still called me. What can I do?
A contributor registered on the Do Not Call Register still received a missed call from 0480840962 in November. Report this breach to ACMA at acma.gov.au, as telemarketers and scammers must honour the register. Report to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au as well, especially given the impersonation element.
What should I do if 0480840962 calls about health insurance?
Do not provide any personal, health, or financial information. Hang up immediately. If you have a genuine health insurance inquiry, contact the company directly using a number from their official website, never using details provided by an incoming caller from 04 8084 0962. Block the number and report it to ACMA and Scamwatch.
