What Contributors Received from 07 2004 8618
One contributor received an SMS from 07 2004 8618 containing the cryptic message 'you want a reference huh', described as having "strange vibes". The ambiguous phrasing offers no context and appears designed to provoke a response or verify the number is active.
A separate contributor reported a call from 0720048618 at 10pm with no voicemail left, just an immediate hang-up. This same contributor notes repeated calls from what they describe as 'the same dodgy lot', with the caller masking their number on each attempt. The pattern of masked numbers combined with intentional non-engagement suggests deliberate evasion.
Call Patterns and Timing
The late-night timing (10pm) combined with masked numbers raises red flags. One contributor reports this is part of a recurring pattern from the same source, indicating persistence rather than a single misdial. The use of number masking is a common tactic to avoid callback identification and tracing.
The SMS from 07 2004 8618 appears separate from the call reports but contributes to an overall picture of evasive contact behaviour. Contributors describe the communication as deliberate rather than accidental contact.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does 'you want a reference huh' from 07 2004 8618 mean?
The SMS from 0720048618 containing this phrase is unclear and appears deliberately vague. It may be an attempt to provoke a response to verify the number is active, or could reference a previous interaction the sender is trying to recall. Either way, the cryptic nature combined with no context is a warning sign. Do not reply to messages from 07 2004 8618.
Why does 0720048618 mask their number?
Callers mask numbers to avoid being identified or called back. One contributor reports repeated calls from what they describe as 'the same dodgy lot' using masked numbers each time. This deliberate evasion is a red flag that the caller is trying to hide their identity, which legitimate businesses do not do. If 07 2004 8618 calls you with a masked number, treat it as suspicious.
Is 07 2004 8618 a scam number?
While only 2 reports exist, the pattern reported suggests evasive behaviour. The cryptic SMS and late-night hang-up call with masked numbers are not typical of legitimate business contact. One contributor describes the caller as 'the same dodgy lot' repeating calls, indicating persistent suspicious activity from 0720048618. Block and report the number if you receive contact.
What should I do if 07 2004 8618 keeps calling?
Block 0720048618 immediately on your phone. If calls from 07 2004 8618 continue after blocking, report the persistent contact to the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au) and file a complaint with ACMA (acma.gov.au). Document each call including time and whether they leave a message. Contributors reporting repeated masked calls from 0720048618 should preserve records for complaints.
Who provides the number 07 2004 8618?
According to allocation data, 0720048618 is a Queensland local service number registered to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd. However, the reported behaviour (masked numbers, hang-ups, cryptic messages) does not match legitimate local business use. If you believe this number is being misused, report it to ACMA along with your experience from 07 2004 8618.
Should I call 0720048618 back if they left a missed call?
No. Do not call back 0720048618. Legitimate callers leave voicemails or identify themselves. The pattern reported from 07 2004 8618 - hang-ups, no message, masked numbers - suggests the caller does not want direct engagement. Calling back could confirm your number is active to someone attempting evasion. Block and ignore instead.
