Impersonation and Silent Call Reports for 04 8593 7567
Seven contributors have reported suspicious activity from 04 8593 7567 (also written as 0485937567), with a pattern of impersonation attempts and silent calls. Two separate reports describe callers falsely claiming to represent legitimate organisations: one claiming to be Access 365 (later verified as fake by Microsoft), and another impersonating a Health Insurance Comparison Service. Additionally, contributors have experienced silent calls where the line goes dead immediately after answering, followed by a hang-up.
The number is registered as a mobile service, yet behaves distinctly unlike a personal call. The combination of impersonation tactics and silent call behaviour suggests this number may be part of a broader calling campaign targeting Australian mobile users.
What Callers from 04 8593 7567 Claim and Do
Contributors who answered calls from 0485937567 describe specific impersonation attempts. One caller claimed affiliation with Access 365, a fraudulent claim that was directly contradicted when the contributor verified with Microsoft. Another caller claimed to represent a Health Insurance Comparison Service, despite the recipient confirming they don't hold health insurance - suggesting the caller was working from a list unverified for relevance.
Silent call patterns are also prominent. One contributor reported answering 04 8593 7567 only to hear dead air followed by immediate disconnection. Several other contributors received missed calls from this number with no voicemail left, a common pattern associated with automated calling systems testing line availability or harvesting active numbers for future targeting.
Call Patterns and Contributor Experiences
Reports span from mid-January to late January 2026, suggesting ongoing activity rather than a one-off incident. Most calls went unanswered and generated no voicemail, indicating either automated systems or callers uninterested in leaving a message. Of the calls that were answered, contributors immediately detected suspicious behaviour: either outright false claims of identity or complete silence.
One contributor noted they received a call from 04 8593 7567 with no message left, describing it as "fishy." Another who answered described the experience as particularly unsettling, receiving only dead air before disconnection. The pattern of missed calls with no voicemail, combined with answered calls featuring impersonation or silence, suggests a multi-pronged approach to maximise contact attempts.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What did callers claim when they reached people from 04 8593 7567?
Two separate impersonation attempts were reported from 0485937567. One caller falsely claimed to be from Access 365, a claim verified as fraudulent when the recipient contacted Microsoft directly. Another caller claimed to represent a Health Insurance Comparison Service despite the recipient not having health insurance, suggesting the caller was using an unverified contact list. Both attempts were designed to appear legitimate to gain trust.
Why do some calls from 04 8593 7567 result in silence or dead air?
Silent calls from 0485937567 are a known tactic where the line connects but produces only dead air before hanging up. This pattern typically indicates either an automated calling system checking whether the number is active, or callers confirming a live person answered before transferring to a scammer. It's a common early-stage spam and scam technique.
Should I call back a missed call from 04 8593 7567?
No, do not call back 0485937567. Calling back a number that uses silent call tactics or impersonation attempts may confirm your number is active and monitored, potentially leading to more calls. Block the number instead and report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
What should I do if I already gave information to a caller from 04 8593 7567?
If you shared personal information with someone claiming to be from 04 8593 7567, contact the organisation they claimed to represent using an official number (not one they provided). Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and consider placing a fraud alert with your bank. Report the call to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and ACMA to help prevent others from being targeted.
How do I block 04 8593 7567 on my mobile phone?
