Scammers regularly spoof or use mobile numbers to increase answer rates before launching their scam pitch.

Yes - contact Optus to report 0485 090 760 as a scam number. Your provider can flag the number and may be able to help block it for other customers. Also report the call to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) and ACMA (acma.gov.au), which maintain databases of scam numbers and can coordinate action against widespread patterns like the 0485* calls mentioned in the report for 0485090760.
