CoinSpot Impersonation Scam Calls from 0404 263 167

Contributors have reported automated scam calls from 0404 263 167 (also written as 0404263167) falsely claiming to be from CoinSpot, Australia's cryptocurrency exchange platform. The calls use robocall technology to reach multiple recipients and employ social engineering to extract sensitive financial information.

The scam targeting 0404263167 specifically attempts to manipulate recipients into believing there is an urgent account security issue with their CoinSpot wallet. Callers request passwords and convince victims to transfer funds to what they claim is a "secure wallet" for protection - a classic credential harvesting and fund theft tactic.

One contributor noted this is part of a larger coordinated spam campaign, referencing over 20 related numbers used for similar cryptocurrency impersonation scams throughout 2026. The pattern suggests organised scam infrastructure targeting Australian crypto investors.

What Callers from 0404 263 167 Claim

Automated messages from 0404 263 167 claim to represent CoinSpot's fraud prevention team. The caller never identifies as a legitimate CoinSpot representative - instead using generic "prevention" messaging to create false urgency.

The specific tactics used by 0404263167 include:

• Claiming urgent account security threats requiring immediate action
• Requesting CoinSpot login credentials (username and password)
• Instructing victims to transfer cryptocurrency to a "secure wallet" supposedly controlled by CoinSpot
• Using robocall automation to mask the caller's identity and location

A key red flag in these calls from 0404 263 167 is that legitimate CoinSpot staff will never ask for passwords or direct fund transfers over the phone. Any such request is definitively a scam.

Report Patterns and Timing

Reports about 0404 263 167 span early January 2026, with at least one call received on 12 January and another on 13 January. Both contributors answered the calls, indicating the scammers are using active dialling rather than one-way broadcast messages.

The Vodafone mobile number 0404263167 appears to be part of a rotating set of spoofed or compromised numbers. A contributor reported seeing over 20 related mobile numbers all attempting the same CoinSpot impersonation scam, suggesting the scammers cycle through numbers to avoid rapid blocking by carriers and ACMA.
