Suspicious Activity Reported for 04 8393 8326
Two contributors have reported suspicious calling behaviour from 04 8393 8326 (also written as 0483938326). Both reports describe similar patterns: when answered, there appears to be someone on the line, but the caller either remains silent or hangs up immediately. Notably, attempts to return the call to 04 8393 8326 fail with a message indicating the number doesn't exist or is no longer in service.
The allocation data shows 0483938326 is registered as an Optus mobile number. The combination of one-way calling behaviour (incoming calls work, but outbound calls to this number fail) suggests either a spoofed number, a temporary service, or technical masking of the caller's true identity.
Call Behaviour and Patterns
Both contributors who received calls from 04 8393 8326 report identical suspicious indicators. The caller appears present initially when the call is answered, but either maintains silence or disconnects within moments. This silent-then-hang-up pattern is consistent with several possible scenarios: testing whether a number is active, automated call filtering systems, or deliberate evasion tactics to avoid conversation.
The inability to return calls to 0483938326 is a significant red flag. A legitimate caller should be reachable via callback. When 04 8393 8326 rejects return calls, it suggests the number may be masking the caller's true identity or the service may be designed as outbound-only for deceptive purposes.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 8393 8326
If 04 8393 8326 calls you:
- Do: Let the call go to voicemail if you don't recognise the number
- Do: Block the number immediately after receiving a suspicious call
- Do: Note the date and time of any calls for your records
- Do not: Answer calls from unknown numbers if you're unsure
- Do not: Attempt to return the call if it appears suspicious
- Do not: Provide any personal information if you do answer
Silent or hang-up calls are often part of testing schemes or automated systems. Blocking 0483938326 after the first suspicious call prevents escalation and protects your contact details from being confirmed as active.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why can't I call back 04 8393 8326?
When a number doesn't accept return calls, it's a major warning sign. The number may be spoofed (using a real number as a cover), operating on a one-way calling service, or deliberately masked. Contributors who tried to call back 0483938326 got a 'number doesn't exist' message, which is common with spoofed numbers. Legitimate organisations always provide functional callback numbers.
Is 04 8393 8326 a scam?
Two reports indicate suspicious behaviour rather than a confirmed scam, but the pattern is concerning. Someone answers when you pick up 04 8393 8326, then hangs up-and return calls to 0483938326 fail. This matches tactics used by bad actors testing active numbers or running automated calling campaigns. You should treat 04 8393 8326 as high-risk and block it immediately.
What should I do if 0483938326 calls me again?
Do not answer. If 04 8393 8326 rings again, let it go to voicemail. Do not attempt to call back or engage with the caller. Add 0483938326 to your blocked contacts. If calls persist, file a report with ACMA at acma.gov.au and let your Optus provider know that calls are coming from an allocated Optus number engaging in suspicious activity.
Could this be a robocall or automated system?
Possibly. The pattern reported-someone present then hanging up-could indicate an automated system checking if 04 8393 8326 is answered by a human rather than voicemail. The fact that 0483938326 rejects return calls supports this. Robocalls often use one-way calling systems and may disconnect immediately if a human answers to avoid detection.
Is this number from Optus?
04 8393 8326 is allocated to Optus mobile, but allocation doesn't mean Optus is behind the calls. The number may be spoofed or hijacked. Contact Optus directly at their official number to verify whether 0483938326 is legitimate. Never use a callback number provided by the caller-always ring the organisation's official customer service line.
Should I report 04 8393 8326 to the police?
Suspicious calling behaviour alone may not trigger police investigation, but reporting to ACMA at acma.gov.au is essential. If you believe you're being targeted or harassed, file a report with local police. If the calls are part of a broader scam, report to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
