Callback Lure Scam Report for 62768315
A single contributor has reported 62768315 as a callback lure scam. This is a common scam tactic where callers deliberately miss-call targets, hoping they will curiosity-driven return the call and incur charges or connect to a fraudulent service.
The contributor who received a missed call from 62768315 attempted to trace the call's origin by calling back using *31# (the Australian code to hide your own number when returning calls). The callback to 62768315 failed to connect, a pattern typical of numbers used in callback scams where the infrastructure is designed to disconnect legitimate attempts or route calls to premium-rate services.
What This Callback Lure Attempt Indicates
The failed connection when calling back 62768315 is a red flag. Scammers using callback lures often use numbers that appear legitimate or are spoofed Australian numbers, but the backend routing is designed to either charge callers for connection attempts or harvest information from return calls. The fact that 62768315 did not answer when called back suggests the number may be part of a spoofed or disposable number scheme.
What to Do If You Receive a Missed Call from 62768315
If 62768315 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, even using *31# or other call-hiding codes
- Do not: Answer if the number calls again
- Do: Block the number immediately in your phone settings
- Do: Mark it as spam or scam in your phone's native call-blocking feature
- Do: Ignore any curiosity about who called - missed calls from unknown numbers are rarely legitimate
- Do: Report the number to ACMA if you receive repeated calls
Why Callback Lures Work
Callback lure scams exploit natural human curiosity. When someone sees a missed call, the instinct is to call back and find out who tried to reach them. Scammers rely on this behaviour. By using 62768315 or similar numbers that appear vaguely legitimate (not obviously international or toll-free), they increase the likelihood of return calls. The failed connection when you call back 62768315 is intentional - the scam succeeds even if the call doesn't connect, either through premium-rate charging or by validating your number as active for future targeted scams.
How to Report 62768315
If you receive calls from 62768315:
- Report the number to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) at acma.gov.au
- Block the number in your phone's native call settings
- Mark it as spam or scam where available
- Contribute your experience to Reverseau to help other Australians identify this callback lure scam
- Do not engage further with the number or attempt additional call-back attempts

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is a callback lure scam, and why did 62768315 fail to connect when I called back?
A callback lure scam is when someone deliberately misses-calls your phone, hoping you'll curiosity-driven call them back. Scammers use numbers like 62768315 that appear local or legitimate. When you call back 62768315, the connection fails because the scammer's infrastructure is designed to either charge you for the attempt, harvest your number, or simply waste your time and validate your number as active for future scams. The failed connection is intentional.
Is 62768315 a real phone number or spoofed?
The contributor's experience with 62768315 suggests it is either spoofed, disposable, or a non-functional front number used solely for callback lures. When called back using *31#, 62768315 failed to connect entirely, which is typical of scam infrastructure designed to avoid legitimate callback attempts. This pattern indicates 62768315 was not a genuine number trying to reach the contributor.
Should I try calling 62768315 back again to find out who it is?
No. The contributor already attempted to call 62768315 back using *31# and the connection failed. There is no legitimate reason to try again. Repeated attempts to reach 62768315 only validate your number as active and engaged, potentially marking you as a higher-value target for future scams. Block the number and move on.
Why did I use *31# to call back 62768315, and was that the right approach?
The contributor used *31# (the code to hide your caller ID) when attempting to call back 62768315 as a safety precaution - to avoid confirming their real number if the caller turned out to be a scammer. This was a smart approach. However, the best approach is not to call back unknown numbers at all, especially missed calls from 62768315, which are hallmarks of callback lure scams.
What should I do if 62768315 calls me again?
Block 62768315 immediately in your phone's native call settings or third-party blocking app. Do not answer, do not call back, and do not engage. If 62768315 or similar numbers continue to call you repeatedly, report the pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au. You can also report it as spam on Reverseau to alert other Australians.
Could 62768315 be a legitimate caller trying to reach me?
Unlikely. Legitimate callers who reach voicemail leave a message explaining who they are and why they called. If 62768315 called and left no message, just a missed call notification, it is consistent with callback lure scam behaviour. The failed connection when the contributor called back 62768315 further confirms this was not a legitimate caller trying to reach them.
