0409 593 783 - 0409593783: Mobile number, provided by Telstra Limited

Seriously, just got a call from 409593783 and it's definitely a scam. Avoid this one like the plague!

Cheers for the warning! This one's definitely dodgy. Stay away, folks!

Just a heads up, folks – this number might seem a bit dodgy, but it’s likely the real deal if you’ve used hotdoc for a quick Telehealth appointment. I got a message from them after seeing a doc in Sydney. So if you're expecting something medical, it might be legit!

Got this dodgy message that claimed to be from a doctor at a clinic we actually visit. Problem is, we’ve never seen that doctor before! Totally a scam, especially since the URL looked completely off. No way was I clicking on that link!

Got a text that claims to be from HotDoc, asking me to confirm an appointment for a skin check in Brisbane. News flash: I don’t even live there! Looks dodgy, mate. Keep your guard up!

Ugh, this number keeps bombarding me with texts! On 5 Aug 2025, I got a message confirming an appointment for "Isabella" – I texted back that they have the wrong number! Get a grip, people!

Heads up, everyone! This number sent out a sketchy link to an online medical booking service, but used legit details about actual medical centres. Feels like they’re trying to swipe patient info or mess with other booking sites. Keep your eyes peeled for this one!

I received a message reminding me to confirm my doctor's appointment for tomorrow. It seemed legitimate, although some comments suggest that others may also use this number.

I received a text message reminding me of an appointment at Allcare Medical Centre in Adelaide, but I live in Western Australia and did not make any appointment there, so this seems suspicious.

I received a text message asking me to confirm an appointment for a young family member at our local general practitioner (GP). However, we had not scheduled any appointment, which raised my concern about the legitimacy of the message.

I received a call regarding appointments for our region specifically in Karoonda, Mannum.

I received a text message requesting payment for a phone consultation that I never had. This is definitely a scam.

I received a text message confirming my doctor's appointment for tomorrow. Since I had arranged this appointment myself, I believe this confirmation service is commonly used by doctors' offices to keep patients informed. I have previously received similar texts from an old doctor's surgery I attended, so this seems legitimate.

This number is from "HotDoc" website. It is a confirmation of a doctor's appointment. It is completely legit. I have booked a phone appointment with my doctor and received a confirmation on this number.

This is a spam call that involved harassment. The caller asked aggressively, "Do you need to see a doctor today?" and used offensive language.

I received a text message claiming that Dr. Jonathon Forrester is back at St John Cockburn, focusing on men's health, elderly care, skin cancer checks, and chronic disease management. It included a link to book appointments and a phone number to call for more information, stating not to reply to the SMS. I have never used this practice before, do not know this doctor, and I’m not male.

This number is not a scam; it is used by legitimate healthcare professionals, specifically doctors. It can be considered trustworthy.

I received a message on my mobile and email reminding me of my doctor’s appointment tomorrow and asking if Medicare could cover today’s visit. I confirmed with my doctor’s secretary that they made the contact, so I consider this number to be completely legitimate.

The SMS message I received simply said, "HI, Click here." It did not include any identifying information about the sender. I will not engage with this type of message!

Is a scam I have two message today saying I have a booking to see my doctor and then a e mail for same booking.

Definitely a scam! Asking me to fill out a patient registration form for a doctors surgery I haven't been to in over ten years! I wonder how much info they are hacking along with our phone numbers!

Definitely fishy, text received for someone not my name as a reminder about a medical appointment tomorrow (31/1/24) in Mackay, somewhere I've never been and live approx 2000km away. I suspect the link provided may be phishing or linked to virus/malware.

Dear patients, we regret to inform you that starting February 1, 2024, our clinic will no longer offer after-hours services. Our operating hours will be Monday to Friday, from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Kind regards, Lyndoch Medical Hub.

I received a message reminding me about a doctor's appointment, and based on the context, I believe this number is legitimate.

Scam. A reminder to use my dental extras, listing a dentist and phone number 70+km away I’ve never been to. Oh, and I don’t have dental extras either.

After seeing that otheres said it was legit, this was from my local GP announcing Shingles vaccinations free for over 65's.

This is legit and is used by hotdoc to confirm if you are attending an upcoming doctors appointment that you have booked. All good.

I got a call that was supposedly a reminder for a doctor's appointment in Brisbane, but I live in Victoria. This clearly seems like a scam attempt.

I received a text message that appears to be from the HotDoc app, which I have never signed up for. The message mentioned a clinic I have never visited. After contacting the clinic directly, they confirmed that I was not in their system and that they had received similar inquiries from several other people about the same issue today. This suggests that my information may have been compromised.

Is not a scam is indeed connection for appointments for Doctor Service HOT DOG.

This number is safe, and expected.

It's from Hotdoc sending a message confirming my doctor's appointment. The link is safe, it's just to confirm my attendance to my upcoming appointment.

Most doctor surgeries use Hotdoc to manage their patient's appointments.

Having the Hotdoc app makes it much easier to make and manage doctors appointments. I use Hotdoc a lot these days, and it makes it much easier, especially when there's a huge queue on the phone, and you have to wait ages, or when the surgery is closed, you can just open the app, select the doctor, and select the available time, and press ok, and usually the appointment is made, and for some, approved on the spot.

Appears to be a SMS scam pretending to be "North Dandenong Clinic" with suspicious link.

Actually it is not a scam. I rang my doctor to check. It is a message from hotdoc and is automated and sent when your doctor logs in your appointment. Just ring your doctor to confirm your appointment and ask if you are worried and don't click on the link.

SCAM. Pretends to confirm a doctors appointments. Asks you to click on a link. Don't.

SCAM ALERT!!! Pretends to confirm a doctors appointments. Asks you to click on a link. Don't.

It's a scammer number.

Don't be taken in, it is definitely a scam.

I think its a scammer because when I tried to call the number to confirm the appointment it was out of reach.

Its supposed to be from a medical centre I go to in Perth but I don't believe that. I will update post when I ask them myself about it.

Just doctors appointment scheduler number.

"General Practice" number taking about vaccine updates and a suspicious link.

I received a reminder for an upcoming appointment at my medical clinic, which appears to be legitimate.

This number belongs to the appointment scheduler for Top Health Doctors located in Brisbane. I've had prior dealings with them, and everything seems to be legitimate with my appointments.
