Is 0405 352 339 dangerous?
Based on the single community report for 0405352339, the observed behaviour (brief disconnecting call) is suspicious but not necessarily dangerous in itself. However, it indicates the number may be part of a callback scheme. The safest approach is to not return calls to numbers you don't recognise.
