04 8599 3597 (0485993597): 3 nuisance reports describing silent calls, hang-ups, and robocall recordings saying 'Goodbye'. Mobile number.

Silent Call and Robocall Reports for 04 8599 3597

Three contributors have reported nuisance activity from 04 8599 3597 (also written as 0485993597), a mobile number registered to a satellite provider. The reports centre on silent calls and automated robocall behaviour, with callers either hanging up immediately or playing a recorded message before disconnecting.

The pattern suggests coordinated nuisance calling rather than accidental misdials. One contributor described the phone barely ringing before the caller hung up, while others experienced complete silence followed by a hang-up, or an automated recording saying 'Goodbye' and then disconnection.

What Callers from 04 8599 3597 Do

Contributors who answered calls from 0485993597 consistently reported silence on the line lasting a few seconds before the caller terminated the call. In one case, a contributor received multiple calls throughout a single week from 04 8599 3597, each following the same pattern: silence, then an automated recording saying 'Goodbye', followed by disconnection.

The robocall element suggests this may be part of a callback scam operation, where the goal is to trick recipients into calling back an unknown number. The satellite provider registration is unusual for typical consumer calls, which may indicate spoofing or a spoofed caller ID.

Call Patterns and Timing

One contributor reported receiving repeated calls from 04 8599 3597 throughout an entire week, indicating sustained targeting rather than a one-off incident. The calls came through both as missed calls (where the phone barely rang) and as answered calls where the contributor heard silence or a robocall message.

The variety in hang-up timing - some before the recipient could answer, others after silence - suggests automated dialling scripts designed to test whether a number is active and answered by a real person.

Callback Scam Warning

Silent calls and brief hang-ups are common tactics used in callback scams. The caller's goal is to create a missed call notification, encouraging you to call back 04 8599 3597. When you return the call, you may be connected to a scammer or charged premium rates. Never return calls to numbers you do not recognise, especially those with no voicemail message or unexplained hang-ups.
