Spam Reports for 0485 034 813
One contributor has flagged 0485 034 813 (also written as 0485034813) for suspicious calling behaviour. The report describes a missed call with no voicemail left behind, which is a common tactic used by spam operators. When the contributor called back to identify the caller, the number connected to continuous hold music only.
This pattern - an incoming call followed by hold music on callback - suggests the number may be used for automated calling campaigns. The Optus mobile number 0485 034 813 shows no legitimate business identification in the contributor's call log.
What This Spam Pattern Indicates
The hold music callback loop reported for 0485034813 is typical of several spam operations. Callers may be using this tactic to:
- Test whether a number is active and monitored (for sale to other spam networks)
- Screen which calls get returned, then escalate to a live scammer on repeat attempts
- Avoid leaving voicemails that could be reported as evidence
The absence of a message suggests this is likely automated dialling rather than a legitimate business trying to reach the contributor.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0485 034 813
If 0485 034 813 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, engage with hold music, or provide any information if a live person answers
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number immediately, and add 0485034813 to your phone's spam list
- Do not: Assume it's a callback test or customer service issue - legitimate businesses leave messages
If the same number calls repeatedly, contact your mobile provider (Optus in this case) to request the number be blocked at the network level.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did the call from 0485 034 813 have no voicemail?
Spam callers often don't leave messages to avoid creating evidence of contact. The contributor reported that 0485 034 813 never left a message, which is typical of automated dialling campaigns that are testing active numbers rather than attempting genuine communication.
What does it mean when a callback to 0485034813 only plays hold music?
Hold music loops are commonly used by spam operations as a screening tactic. When the contributor called back 0485 034 813, reaching only hold music suggests the number may be used for one-way outbound calling rather than receiving legitimate inbound queries.
Should I answer if 0485 034 813 calls again?
No. The contributor's experience with 0485 034 813 shows this is spam behaviour. Do not answer, return the call, or engage if a live person does answer. Block the number on your phone instead.
Is 0485 034 813 a legitimate Optus number?
While 0485 034 813 is registered to Optus Mobile, the calling pattern reported (missed call, no message, hold music callback) indicates it's being used for spam purposes. Legitimate Optus contacts would leave messages or identify themselves clearly.
Can I get Optus to block 0485 034 813?
Yes. Contact Optus customer service and report the spam calls from 0485 034 813. They can escalate the number for blocking at the network level, which stops calls from reaching you entirely.
Why is only one report showing for 0485034813?
Currently, one contributor has reported 0485 034 813 on Reverseau. If you receive calls from this number, adding your report helps build a stronger pattern and warns other Australians about this spam source.
