Four contributors have reported activity from 0409 612 698 (also written as 0409612698), a Telstra mobile number. The reports reveal a mix of suspicious missed calls and at least one spam call involving unrealistic energy savings claims.

Energy Discount Spam from 0409 612 698

One contributor who answered a call from 0409 612 698 reported the caller claimed to be an energy expert offering a guaranteed discount. This type of claim raises immediate red flags, as legitimate energy providers do not cold call with guaranteed savings offers. The caller from 0409612698 was using a classic too-good-to-be-true tactic typical of energy retail scams that attempt to switch customers to inferior plans or extract payment for non-existent services.

Missed Calls and Silent Activity

Three separate contributors reported missed calls from 0409 612 698 with no voicemail left behind. One contributor received the call on 2 February 2026, another on 5 February 2026, and a third on 16 February 2026. The timing and repeated pattern of calls without messages suggest automated or intentional contact fishing for call-backs. Contributors described the behaviour as suspicious, with one noting the caller "didn't bother to leave a message."

This pattern of calling without leaving information is common in callback scams, where the goal is to get you to ring back an expensive number or be transferred to a fraudulent operation.
