A single contributor has reported receiving a call from 04 8115 9894 (also written as 0481159894) that they found suspicious. The call went to voicemail, and the contributor noted the caller's behaviour seemed dodgy, though they weren't certain of the caller's intent or purpose.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does 'uncertain' mean for a report on 04 8115 9894?
The contributor who reported 0481159894 felt the call seemed suspicious or odd but couldn't identify the specific purpose or threat. This could mean the caller hung up without speaking, had a strange tone, or didn't clearly identify themselves. Without more reports or specific details, it's difficult to confirm what 04 8115 9894 was calling about.
Should I answer if 04 8115 9894 calls me?
It's safer not to answer calls from unknown numbers like 0481159894. Let it go to voicemail. If the caller leaves a message explaining who they are and why they called, you can assess whether it's legitimate before calling back. If 04 8115 9894 calls again and you still don't recognise the number, consider blocking it.
Is 0481159894 definitely a scam?
Not necessarily. One report describing a call as 'dodgy' isn't enough to confirm 04 8115 9894 is a scam. The caller could be trying to reach a wrong number, a telemarketer, or a legitimate contact with a poor connection. However, if you receive multiple suspicious calls from 0481159894 or the caller makes demands or threats, treat it as high-risk and report it.
Can I block 04 8115 9894 on my phone?
Yes. Most smartphones allow you to block numbers directly in your contacts or phone settings. If 0481159894 calls again and you feel uncomfortable, blocking 04 8115 9894 will prevent future calls from reaching you. You can always unblock it later if needed.
What information should I provide if I report 0481159894?
When reporting 04 8115 9894 to Scamwatch, ACMA, or Reverseau, include: the date and time of the call, what the caller said (if anything), how they behaved, and what made you suspicious. Specific details help authorities investigate and warn others about 0481159894.
Why is 04 8115 9894 registered as an Optus mobile?
The number 0481159894 is allocated as an Optus mobile service, meaning it was issued by Optus. However, this doesn't tell us who currently owns or controls 04 8115 9894. Scammers sometimes use mobile numbers (legitimate or spoofed) to make calls seem more personal or trustworthy than a business line would.
