Suspicious Activity Report for 04 8613 3828
A contributor has flagged a call from 04 8613 3828 (also written as 0486133828) for suspicious behaviour. The caller rang asking whether the recipient's schedule was free, but the contributor had no prior relationship with the caller and could not identify who they were.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do if 04 8613 3828 asks about my schedule?
Do not answer questions about your availability or schedule from unknown callers. Ask them to identify themselves and their organisation first. If they cannot provide a clear, verifiable identity, end the call. If 0486133828 continues to call asking personal questions, block the number.
Is 0486133828 definitely a scam?
One contributor reported suspicious activity from 04 8613 3828, but a single report does not confirm it is a scam. It may be legitimate contact from an unknown caller, or it could be the start of a scam attempt. Monitor future calls and report additional incidents to help build a clearer pattern.
Why would a caller ask if my schedule is free?
Callers asking about your availability or schedule without identifying themselves are often attempting to gather information about you or determine when you are home and alone. This is a common tactic used in initial contact before escalating to a scam pitch, delivery fraud, or other schemes. Always require identification first.
What do I do if I don't recognise the number calling me?
If 04 8613 3828 or any unknown number calls you, do not automatically answer or share information. Let unknown calls go to voicemail if possible. If you do answer and cannot identify the caller, ask them to state their name, organisation, and the reason for the call. If they cannot provide this information clearly, hang up.
Should I call back 0486133828?
No. Do not call back unknown numbers, including 04 8613 3828. If the call was legitimate, they will contact you again or you can find their official phone number independently and call that verified number instead. Calling back unknown numbers can confirm your number is active and lead to further contact.
Where can I report calls from 04 8613 3828?
You can report suspicious calls from 0486133828 to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au, the ACMA at acma.gov.au, or contribute a report directly on Reverseau. These reports help identify patterns and protect other Australians from the same caller.
