Suspicious SMS Messages from 0400 562 774

Three contributors have reported receiving unsolicited SMS messages from 0400 562 774 (also written as 0400562774). The messages are brief and generic, with no clear purpose or sender identification.

The vague nature of messages from 0400562774 suggests the sender is testing whether the number is active and monitored. Contributors noted these messages come from numbers not saved in their contacts, and the casual tone ("How are you?", "Hi again") creates false familiarity to lower the recipient's guard.

What Messages from 0400 562 774 Contain

One contributor received an SMS saying "How are you?" from 0400 562 774. The contributor correctly identified this as suspicious since anyone they genuinely know would appear as a saved contact.

Two other contributors reported receiving "Hi again" messages from 0400562774. Both noted they had not met anyone new and had no legitimate reason for an unknown number to contact them in this manner. The repetition of this specific message across multiple contributors suggests a coordinated campaign rather than isolated incidents.
