Suspicious Activity Report for 08 6118 5045
A single contributor has flagged 08 6118 5045 (also written as 0861185045) as suspicious. The report describes a missed call with no voicemail left, which Samsung's built-in fraud detection system flagged as potential fraud. This Western Australian number is allocated to Symbio Networks Pty Ltd as a local service.
The lack of a message combined with Samsung's fraud alert suggests the caller may have been testing the line or attempting contact without leaving identifying information. This pattern is common with scam operations that dial multiple numbers to identify active accounts.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 6118 5045
If 08 6118 5045 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, answer unknown numbers, or engage if you do pick up
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, block the number if it calls again, and trust your phone's fraud detection alerts
- Do: Check your financial accounts and credit file if you're concerned about data compromise
Since the caller left no message, there's no immediate content-based threat visible. However, repeated calls from 08 6118 5045 after blocking suggest persistence typical of scam operations, and you should report it.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did Samsung flag 08 6118 5045 as fraud?
Samsung's fraud detection system analyses call patterns and known scam databases. A flag from 0861185045 suggests the number appears in fraud databases or exhibits suspicious calling behaviour like rapid dialling of multiple numbers without leaving messages. This doesn't guarantee it's malicious, but warrants caution.
What should I do if 08 6118 5045 calls multiple times?
Repeated calls from 0861185045 after you've missed or ignored the first call is a red flag. Block the number immediately in your phone settings and report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au. Do not engage with the caller or return the call.
Is it safe to answer if 08 6118 5045 calls again?
It's generally safer not to answer calls from unknown numbers, especially when Samsung has flagged 0861185045 as suspicious. If you do answer by accident, hang up immediately without providing any personal information. Don't confirm your name, account numbers, or availability.
Why did the caller leave no message from 08 6118 5045?
Scammers often use silent calls or calls with no message to test whether a number is active and monitored. If the call from 0861185045 connects, they know it's a working number and may call back later with a pretext, or sell the number to other scammers.
Could 08 6118 5045 be a legitimate business?
While 0861185045 is allocated to Symbio Networks as a local service in Western Australia, legitimate businesses and government agencies typically leave voicemails or identify themselves. A silent or unidentified call flagged by Samsung suggests the caller isn't operating transparently.
Should I check my accounts if I missed a call from 08 6118 5045?
If 0861185045 called you, review your bank, email, and credit accounts for suspicious activity. Change passwords if you're concerned, and monitor your credit file through equifax.com.au or clearscore.com.au for unauthorised accounts. Report any fraud to your bank immediately.
