Spam and Silent Call Reports for 04 8999 0667

Four contributors have reported activity from 04 8999 0667 (also written as 0489990667) over recent months. The reports reveal a mixed pattern: investment-related spam, silent calls with no one on the line, and callback requests. The number is allocated to a mobile service through Pivotel Satellite, though contributors have reported difficulty reaching back when attempting to call the number.

The most recent report from December 2025 describes relentless calling from 0489990667 without accompanying messages, while an earlier report from November documents an unsolicited stockmarket broker pitch. Contributors who answered calls from 04 8999 0667 encountered either aggressive sales pitches or complete silence on the line.

What Callers from 04 8999 0667 Say and Do

One contributor who answered 0489990667 was pitched on stockmarket broker options. When the recipient explained they lacked funds to invest, the caller persisted by reframing the call as a "comparison service," suggesting a scripted response to objections rather than genuine financial advice.

Another contributor experienced a silent call from 04 8999 0667 with no one responding, a tactic often used in callback scams or automated dialling campaigns that drop through to silence when answered.

A third report noted difficulty reaching back after 0489990667 called-attempting a callback returned no service, consistent with callback request scams where the caller avoids incoming calls on the advertised number.

Report Patterns and Timing

The calls span from August 2025 through December 2025, suggesting ongoing activity rather than a one-off incident. Two reports involved missed calls, one where the contributor answered to silence, and one where they engaged with the investment sales pitch. The most recent report in December 2025 describes bombardment with multiple calls but no voicemail or SMS follow-up, a pattern consistent with robocall or callback scam operations that rely on volume and persistence rather than messaging.
