Uncertain Activity Report for 0400 848 662
A single contributor has flagged 0400 848 662 (also written as 0400848662) for suspicious behaviour. The report describes receiving a call from this Telstra mobile number, and when the contributor attempted to call back to verify the caller's identity, the number connected to someone claiming it was a wrong number.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why did the call back to 0400 848 662 result in a wrong number response?
The contributor's experience suggests several possibilities. The caller may have dialled the wrong number initially, or 0400848662 may have been spoofed (displayed on caller ID but not the actual source of the call). Some calling systems are designed to mask their true number, so a callback to the displayed number may not reach the actual caller. This is a red flag for potential scam or spoofing activity.
Should I trust a call from 0400 848 662 if I don't recognise the number?
No. If you do not recognise 0400 848 662, let the call go to voicemail or don't answer. If the caller is legitimate, they will leave a message explaining the purpose of the call. You can then independently verify by contacting the organisation they claim to represent using a number from their official website, rather than relying on callbacks to 0400848662.
Is 0400 848 662 definitely a scam?
Based on available reports, there is one report describing uncertain activity from 0400 848 662, but no definitive scam confirmation. The contributor's experience of reaching a wrong number when calling back is unusual and warrants caution. If you receive a call from 0400848662, apply general safety practices: verify the caller independently and do not share personal information.
What should I do if 0400 848 662 calls me multiple times?
If 0400848662 calls you repeatedly, particularly after you've hung up or not answered, block the number on your phone. Most modern phones allow you to block contacts directly in your phone settings. If the calls become harassing or threatening, contact your local police and report the number to the ACMA at acma.gov.au.
