Spam (possibly scam) call.

Do not answer or call back.

I received a call feom this number a couple of days ago- the caller let the phone ring only a few times before hanging up without leaving a message.

Typical behaviour of a spam/scam caller, hoping we would call them back.

The phone provider is Netsip, one of several well known providers of prolific scam/spam callers.

AVOID!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do callers from 08 6401 4050 hang up without speaking?

Callback lure scams deliberately use this tactic. The caller from 08 6401 4050 (0864014050) rings just long enough to trigger a missed call notification, then disconnects before you answer. The goal is for you to call back out of curiosity, at which point the scammer can attempt to deceive you or commit fraud. Never return calls to numbers you don't recognise.

Is 0864014050 a legitimate Perth business?

No. The number 08 6401 4050 is allocated to Netsip Pty Ltd, a provider reported by contributors as a source of prolific scam and spam operations. Legitimate businesses identify themselves and leave voicemail messages. The lack of identification and the deliberate hang-up behaviour from 0864014050 confirm this is not a genuine inquiry.

What should I do if I already called back 08 6401 4050?

If you called back 0864014050 and provided any personal information (name, address, bank details, card numbers), contact your bank immediately and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. If you provided no information, simply block 08 6401 4050 and do not answer future calls from this number. Report it to ACMA at acma.gov.au.

Can I block 08 6401 4050 on my phone?

Yes. Most phones allow you to block numbers directly. On Android, open the call log, find 08 6401 4050, tap the three dots, and select 'Block number'. On iPhone, find the number in your call history, tap the 'i' icon, scroll down, and tap 'Block this Caller'. You can also report 0864014050 as spam during the blocking process.

Why does 0864014050 keep calling if no one answers?

Callback lure scams use automated dialling systems that systematically call phone numbers. The system doesn't care whether you answer or not - the objective is to generate missed calls. Each unanswered call creates a missed call notification, increasing the chance you'll call back. Blocking 08 6401 4050 will prevent most future calls from this number.

Should I report 08 6401 4050 to ACMA?
