Three contributors have reported activity from 04 1958 1148 (also written as 0419581148), a Telstra mobile number. While one report indicates a legitimate survey call from Dorevitch Pathology, two separate reports describe suspicious SMS messages that raised significant concerns.

What Callers and Messages from 04 1958 1148 Claim
One contributor reported receiving an SMS from 04 1958 1148 referencing a DNA order from police, which they described as feeling "off" and suspicious in nature. The message lacked expected official formatting or verifiable details typical of legitimate law enforcement communications.
Another report detailed SMS messages from 0419581148 containing access codes and text notifications, with the contributor expressing concern about possible links to police impersonation. The unsolicited nature of these codes and the vague reference to police activity triggered alarm bells for the recipient.
In contrast, one contributor reported receiving what appeared to be a legitimate survey call from this number following a visit to Dorevitch Pathology, suggesting the number may occasionally be used for genuine business purposes.
Mixed Report Pattern
The three reports from 04 1958 1148 paint an inconsistent picture. One legitimate contact from a pathology service contrasts sharply with two suspicious SMS interactions. This mixed pattern could indicate the number has been spoofed for suspicious purposes, or it may represent legitimate business use alongside fraudulent activity by others.
The presence of access codes and the specific mention of police connections in the SMS reports suggests potential impersonation of official authorities. Contributors who received these messages from 0419581148 expressed genuine concern about the authenticity and intent behind the communications.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 04 1958 1148 definitely a scam number?
Not necessarily. One of the three reports about 04 1958 1148 indicates legitimate survey contact from Dorevitch Pathology. However, the other two reports describe suspicious SMS messages with police impersonation claims and access code requests. The number may be legitimate but spoofed by scammers, or it could be occasionally misused. If you receive a call from 0419581148, verify independently before trusting the caller.
Why did I receive texts from 04 1958 1148 about DNA orders and police?
One contributor reported receiving SMS from 04 1958 1148 claiming a DNA order from police with access codes. This is a common impersonation tactic. Police do not contact citizens this way. These messages are almost certainly fraudulent attempts to obtain personal information or trick you into providing access credentials. Do not engage with messages from 0419581148 making official-sounding claims.
What should I do if 0419581148 asks for access codes in an SMS?
Do not provide any access codes, passwords, or authentication details to 0419581148 or any unverified caller. This is a red flag for fraud or impersonation. Legitimate organisations never request sensitive codes via unsolicited SMS. Delete the message immediately, forward it to 0429 999 888 to report spam, and block the number.
Could 04 1958 1148 be spoofed by someone else?
Yes, this is very possible. Phone numbers can be spoofed to appear as if they're calling from a legitimate business or authority. If you received suspicious messages from 0419581148 involving police claims or access codes, it's likely the number was spoofed by a scammer. Report it to ACMA and your provider regardless.
