Suspicious SMS Report for 0400 368 104

A single contributor has flagged 0400 368 104 (also written as 0400368104) for a suspicious SMS message. The text contained a casual greeting of 'hey there' with no context or clear purpose, raising red flags about the sender's intent.

This type of vague opening is often used in social engineering attempts, where callers or senders try to establish familiarity or curiosity to prompt a response. The contributor's instinct to mark the message as suspicious suggests the greeting felt out of place or unexpected.

What the SMS from 0400 368 104 Contained

The reported message from 0400368104 was minimal: a simple 'hey there' with no additional context, offer, or explanation. This lack of specificity is characteristic of probe messages, where senders test whether a number is active or whether recipients will engage. Once contact is established through a reply, the sender may escalate to more sophisticated scams or social engineering tactics.

The vagueness of the message makes it difficult to categorise the exact intent, but the contributor's assessment that it 'looks sus' reflects the common experience of receiving unexplained texts from unknown numbers. Without additional context or follow-up messages from 0400 368 104, the exact nature of the threat remains unclear.
