What should I do if 0400411383 texts me a birthday offer?
Do not click any links or reply to the SMS from 0400411383. Block the number immediately, then forward the message to 0429 999 888 (ACMA's SMS reporting service).

How did 0400 411 383 get my phone number and birthday?
Scammers using SMS tactics like birthday texts often obtain contact details from data breaches, purchased contact lists, or publicly available information (social media profiles, online directories). The fact that 0400411383 had access to your phone number and knew it was your birthday suggests either a data breach or a third party sold your information. Report this to the relevant organisations and monitor your accounts for unauthorised activity.

No. Legitimate businesses and services do not typically send unsolicited birthday texts from random mobile numbers. If you receive a birthday offer from 0400 411 383 or similar unknown numbers, treat it as spam or fraud. Telstra legitimate communications come from known business numbers with proper branding, not generic mobile numbers like 0400411383.
What if I already clicked a link in the SMS from 0400 411 383?
If you clicked a link in a suspicious SMS from 0400411383, monitor your accounts closely for unauthorised activity.

Report the incident to cyber.gov.au and ACMA (0429 999 888).
Should I report this number to ACMA or just block it?
