Suspicious Loan Payment Reports for 04 8907 1022
A single contributor has flagged 04 8907 1022 (also written as 0489071022) for a suspicious voicemail claiming a late loan payment with Rapid Loans. The Optus mobile number left a message referencing account issues, which prompted the report to Reverseau.
Because only one report exists for 0489071022, it's important to verify the claim independently. Legitimate lenders typically contact borrowers through official channels and documented phone numbers. If you have an actual loan account, contact your lender directly using the phone number on your loan documents or official website, rather than responding to an unsolicited voicemail from 04 8907 1022.
What the Voicemail from 04 8907 1022 Claimed
The contributor reported receiving a voicemail from 0489071022 mentioning a late payment issue with Rapid Loans. The message did not include specific loan account details in the report, but the call was suspicious enough to warrant flagging.
Voicemails about overdue payments are a common scam tactic. Scammers may reference real or fictitious loan companies and create urgency around supposed debt to pressure recipients into providing personal information or payment details.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 8907 1022
If 04 8907 1022 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, provide personal information, loan details, or payment information in response to the voicemail
- Do: Verify any loan claim independently by calling your lender directly using the phone number on your loan agreement or official website
- Do: Check your online account (if you have one) to confirm whether a payment is actually overdue
- Do: Block 0489071022 if the calls continue or if you confirm no legitimate debt exists
If you do not have a loan with Rapid Loans or any other lender, the call is almost certainly fraudulent.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 04 8907 1022 a real Rapid Loans number?
One contributor reported a voicemail from 04 8907 1022 (0489071022) claiming to be about a Rapid Loans account. However, you should verify this independently. Contact Rapid Loans directly using the phone number on your loan documents or their official website, never by calling back the number in the voicemail. Scammers often impersonate legitimate lenders.
What should I do if I have a loan and receive a call from 0489071022?
If you have an active loan, verify the claim by contacting your lender directly using an official phone number (from your loan agreement, bank statement, or their website). Do not use the phone number from the voicemail. Legitimate lenders will have your account details available and can confirm any overdue payments immediately.
Can I block 04 8907 1022 on my phone?
Yes. If 0489071022 calls again or you've confirmed the voicemail is fraudulent, you can block the number on your mobile. Most phones allow you to block numbers through your call settings or contacts app. You can also report the number to your phone provider, Optus, as a suspicious mobile number.
What if I don't have a loan account with Rapid Loans?
If you have never taken out a loan with Rapid Loans or any lender, the voicemail from 04 8907 1022 is fraudulent. Scammers target people at random, hoping to catch someone who does have a loan or to pressure them into creating a sense of urgency. Do not engage with the caller or provide any information.
Should I call back the number in the voicemail from 0489071022?
No. Never call back an unsolicited voicemail about a debt or account issue. Instead, contact the lender directly using the phone number on your loan documents. Calling back 04 8907 1022 may confirm your number is active and lead to more calls, or connect you directly to a scammer.
Where can I report 04 8907 1022?
Report the call from 0489071022 to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au), ACMA (acma.gov.au), and on Reverseau to warn other Australians. If the voicemail is from an Optus mobile number, you can also contact Optus to report the suspicious activity on their network.
