Suspicious Activity Reports for 0402 508 076

Three contributors have reported suspicious contact from 0402 508 076 (also written as 0402508076) over the past two weeks. The reports describe a pattern of initial phone contact followed by SMS messages, with at least one report mentioning a phishing link included in the message. The number is registered to an Optus mobile service.

The activity flagged by contributors suggests coordinated contact across multiple channels. One report specifically noted that after an initial call, an SMS arrived stating 'this is your initial breeder' - unusual phrasing that does not match legitimate business communication. Another contributor reported the caller asked for their name before abruptly hanging up, then called back twice in succession.

What Callers from 0402 508 076 Do and Say

Based on community reports, callers from 0402508076 employ a two-step contact strategy. The initial call is brief and appears designed to verify the line is active and obtain personal details. One contributor described being asked directly for their name before the caller disconnected.

Following the call, contributors received SMS messages from 0402 508 076 containing the phrase 'this is your initial breeder'. This terminology is inconsistent with standard customer service or legitimate organisation contact. One report indicates the SMS included a phishing link, suggesting the message was designed to direct recipients to a fake website or capture further personal information.

The callback behaviour noted in one report - calling back twice after initial hang-up - suggests systematic targeting rather than accidental dialling.

Report Patterns and Timing

Reports for 0402 508 076 span from late February to early March 2026. Two reports came through SMS channel contact, while one contributor answered the call directly. The rapid succession of multiple calls to the same recipient (as described in one report) indicates the caller may be working through contact lists systematically.

The timing of reports suggests ongoing activity. The most recent report arrived on 8 March, indicating 0402508076 remains active.
