WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why am I receiving car insurance renewal messages from 0409 121 912 when I don't have a car?
The caller behind 0409 121 912 (0409121912) is using generic contact lists without verifying whether recipients actually own vehicles or have insurance. One contributor received a renewal notice despite their car being written off four years earlier. This confirms the caller is conducting mass spam campaigns with no personalisation or legitimate customer verification.
Is 0409 121 912 a real car insurance company?
No. Three community reports about 0409 121 912 confirm this is spam impersonation, not legitimate insurance correspondence. Real insurers contact existing customers using verified contact details and can provide your actual policy number and personal information when you call them back. If you're unsure, hang up and call your insurer directly using the number on your policy or their official website.
What should I do if I already replied to a message from 0409121912?
Do not engage further with 0409 121 912 or follow any instructions in messages from 0409121912. Block the number immediately. Do not send any personal information, bank details, or payment information. If you clicked a link or provided details, monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and contact your bank if needed. Report the number to ACMA at acma.gov.au and Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Can I block 0409 121 912 on my phone?

Should I report 0409 121 912 to my car insurance provider?
If you have existing car insurance, it's worth informing your provider that scammers are impersonating insurance companies using the number 0409 121 912. However, your primary action should be reporting 0409121912 to ACMA and Scamwatch. Your insurer will not contact you unexpectedly about renewals - they send official letters and contact you via registered channels.
Why do scammers target car insurance customers?
Car insurance is mandatory for registered vehicle owners in Australia, making insurance renewal a believable trigger for contact. Scammers sending messages from 0409 121 912 rely on this assumption to seem legitimate. Because most motorists do have active insurance, generic messages claiming renewal increase the chance someone will engage. Contributors reporting 0409121912 received these messages regardless of their actual insurance status, confirming the spam is mass-targeted without verification.
