Multiple daily calls from numbers in the 0480012xxx series persist despite blocking, often without voicemails and flagged as spam. Reports highlight harassment tactics linked to superannuation insurance scams or government fund cancellation threats, with some callers harvesting voice data. Answering leads to pushy sales pitches, and requests to remove numbers fail. Block all similar numbers immediately and register with Australia's Do Not Call Register to curb unsolicited contacts. Avoid engaging or sharing info—report to ACMA via their scamwatch site for investigation. Stay silent on pickup to thwart biometric theft, and use call-blocking apps for patterns like this.
Every day, a series of mobile numbers from 04800123XX to 04800124XX show up labeled Australia, never leaving a voicemail. Blocking one just prompts another from the same range.
The same caller contacts me nearly every day.
I receive daily calls from numbers sharing the same prefix, only the last three digits vary.
I continue receiving calls from this line and similar numbers with varying last two digits—always a scam.
Calls keep coming from this number and from similar ones that only differ in the last two digits; I suspect they’re all scam attempts.
Dealing with identical problems daily; the caller shows up as "Australia". After answering once and requesting removal, nothing changed. It’s especially irritating during work hours.
The caller alleged that the Australian government plans to cancel all superannuation funds.
After a month of daily missed calls, I returned the call despite my phone flagging it as spam; the pitch involved vague insurance nonsense. I asked to be removed and blocked the number.
Beware: the callers aim to capture your voice biometrics—stay silent and block the number.
Like the other reports, I get daily calls from 0480 012 xxx with no voicemail. Clearly an amber alert situation.
Since June 2021, I've been bombarded daily by calls from 0480 012 xxx. Blocking them only leads to more attempts – it's exhausting. I just want to answer once and yell 'STOP CALLING ME!'
An unknown caller keeps dialing almost daily; I never answer and no voicemail is left.
Yet another ring from a 04800xxxxx number left no voicemail; it smells like spam.
