08 6304 4100 (0863044100): Contributors report unsolicited health surveys probing personal and financial information, often calling after 6 PM without consent. One report flagged suspicious data gathering tactics.
Health Survey Calls and Personal Information Requests from 08 6304 4100
Eight contributors have reported calls from 08 6304 4100 (also written as 0863044100), a Telstra-listed Western Australian local service number. The pattern is complex: some callers identify as legitimate university research teams, while others conduct unconfirmed health surveys that raise concerns about unsolicited personal information gathering.
The most significant report came from a contributor who described calls from 0863044100 that "started probing about health and income" before the recipient terminated the call, noting "major red flags." This single report explicitly flagged personal information requests as a concerning tactic. Other contributors describe similar health-focused surveys but with varying clarity about legitimacy.
What Callers from 08 6304 4100 Say and Do
Contributors receiving calls from 08 6304 4100 report callers identifying as health service representatives or research companies conducting surveys. The stated topics include mental health and wellbeing assessments and hospital stay inquiries. One contributor confirmed the caller identified as Edith Cowan University Medical Research Survey Centre, a legitimate institution.
However, several reports from 0863044100 describe callers who could not explain how they obtained the recipient's contact details or justify why they were calling. One contributor who is 15 years old received two calls from this number despite never having been to hospital as an adult and never agreeing to participate in surveys. Another adult contributor reported being called about hospital stays despite never having attended hospital and having no record of survey consent.
The concerning report involving personal information requests suggests callers from 08 6304 4100 may shift from identifying as researchers to directly probing health and income details, which differs markedly from standard survey methodology.
Call Patterns and Timing
Contributors report calls from 08 6304 4100 occurring at varied times, with several specifically noting evening hours. One report documented calls "randomly after 6 PM," while another described "repeated calls at unreasonable times" with no voicemail left. This pattern of off-hours contact without voicemail, combined with contributors reporting uncertainty about how the number obtained their details, distinguishes 0863044100 from typical business-hours research outreach.
The timing pattern is particularly notable given that several callers claim affiliation with university or health services, which typically conduct research during standard business hours with prior consent documentation.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 6304 4100
If you receive a call from 08 6304 4100 claiming to conduct health or medical research:
Do not provide personal, financial, or health information to unverified callers, regardless of the stated purpose. If 0863044100 asks about income, hospital visits, or other sensitive details, you are under no obligation to answer.
Verify independently before engaging. If the caller claims affiliation with Edith Cowan University or another research institution, end the call and contact the organisation directly using a number from their official website. Do not use contact details provided by the caller.
Ask for written consent documentation. Legitimate research surveys require prior informed consent. If you did not agree to participate, ask the caller to explain how you were selected and to provide written details of the research project. Genuine researchers can provide this information.
Block the number if calls are repeated or unwanted. If 08 6304 4100 continues calling after you've declined to participate, use your phone's blocking feature or contact your service provider.
How to Report Calls from 08 6304 4100
If you believe calls from 08 6304 4100 (0863044100) involve unsolicited personal information gathering, report them to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). ACMA investigates unwanted calls and can take action against numbers breaching the Do Not Call Register or engaging in predatory practices.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 08 6304 4100 a legitimate research number?
Two contributors identified calls from 0863044100 as legitimate university research, specifically Edith Cowan University Medical Research Survey Centre. However, four other reports describe the same number conducting unsolicited surveys without apparent consent or clear identification. Legitimate researchers provide prior notice, explanation of how you were selected, and written project details. If uncertain, hang up and contact the claimed organisation directly using their official website number, not a number the caller provides. Do not verify legitimacy by calling back 08 6304 4100.
Why did 0863044100 call me about health if I've never been to hospital?
Multiple contributors reported calls from 08 6304 4100 asking about hospital stays despite having no history of hospitalisation or no adult hospitalisation. This suggests the caller may be using outdated, incorrectly matched, or sourced data. It could also indicate the caller is testing contact validity without regard for data accuracy. One 15-year-old contributor received two calls from this number despite having no applicable health history. Do not assume accurate caller records justify providing personal information.
Should I be concerned about the personal information request from 0863044100?
Yes. One report specifically flagged that callers from 08 6304 4100 began "probing about health and income" with the contributor noting "major red flags." This differs from standard survey methodology, which typically asks specific predefined questions rather than open-ended probing about sensitive financial data. Legitimate researchers do not ask about income unless that is the explicit, disclosed purpose of the research. If 0863044100 shifts from survey claims to probing your financial or health details, terminate the call and report it.
Why do calls from 08 6304 4100 come after 6 PM?
One contributor reported calls from 0863044100 occurring "randomly after 6 PM," and another described "repeated calls at unreasonable times" with no voicemail. University and health service research teams typically operate during business hours and leave voicemail if no answer. Off-hours calling without voicemail is a common pattern of unsolicited or predatory callers testing number validity. If 0863044100 repeatedly calls outside business hours without clear identification or purpose, this is a signal to block the number and report it.
How did 0863044100 get my phone number if I never consented to surveys?
Multiple contributors reported receiving calls from 08 6304 4100 without any record of agreeing to participate in surveys. This suggests the number may have sourced contact details from third parties, purchased contact lists, or accessed databases without proper consent framework. One contributor asked the caller directly and received no clear explanation. You have the right to know how an organisation obtained your number. If 0863044100 cannot explain this transparently, you can request removal from their contact list and report the call to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
What should I do if 08 6304 4100 calls again?
Do not provide any personal, financial, or health information to 0863044100. If you did not consent to the survey, simply state: "I did not agree to this call and do not wish to participate" and hang up. Block the number using your phone's built-in blocking feature. If calls continue after you have declined, report them to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and lodge a Do Not Call Register complaint at donotcall.gov.au if you are registered. Consider reporting your experience on Reverseau to help other contributors understand the pattern of calls from this number.
