One Reverseau contributor identified 0420 101 559 (0420101559) as scam activity. While this is a genuine community report, having only one report means the number's pattern is not yet fully established. If you receive a call from 0420 101 559 and the caller makes suspicious claims, hangs up unexpectedly, or asks for personal or financial information, treat it as a potential scam and hang up immediately.
What should I do if I already gave information to someone who called from 0420101559?
If you provided personal, financial, or identity information to a caller from 0420 101 559, contact your bank and relevant service providers immediately to report the incident. If you disclosed passwords, tax file numbers, or other sensitive data, contact Services Australia at servicesaustralia.gov.au or the relevant government agency. Consider placing a fraud alert with your credit provider and monitor your accounts for unauthorised activity.
How can I block 0420 101 559 on my phone?
Most Australian mobile phones allow you to block numbers directly. Open your phone's call history, find the entry for 0420 101 559, and select 'Block' or 'Add to reject list'. You can also check your mobile provider's app (Telstra, Vodafone, optus, etc.) for advanced blocking features. For persistent unwanted calls from 0420101559, your provider may offer additional call filtering options.
Should I call back 0420101559 to find out who it is?
No. Do not call back 0420 101 559. Returning calls to unknown numbers, especially those flagged for scam activity, can confirm your number is active and lead to more unwanted contact.

If you need to verify a caller's identity, independently look up an official phone number for the organisation they claim to represent and contact them directly.
What information should I include when reporting 0420 101 559 to authorities?
When reporting 0420101559 to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) or ACMA (acma.gov.au), include: the date and time you received the call, what the caller claimed, any specific words or phrases they used, whether they asked for personal or financial information, and how the call ended. The more detail you provide about 0420 101 559, the better authorities can identify patterns and protect other Australians.

The fact that 0420 101 559 is provisioned through this provider does not guarantee legitimacy. A single contributor flagged 0420101559 as scam activity, so treat this number with caution regardless of the underlying provider.
