Health Insurance and Scam Reports for 0420 112 353
Six contributors have reported calls from 0420 112 353 (also written as 0420112353), flagging a mixed pattern of unsolicited health insurance sales pitches and suspicious activity. The number appears to be part of a broader 0420 series calling campaign - one contributor specifically noted receiving calls from multiple related numbers including 0420110100, 0420110190, 0420959265, 0420110274, 0420110306, 0420110334, 0420112341, 0420110409, 0420110094, 0420110002, 0420112319, and others, suggesting a coordinated calling operation.
The variety of reports about 0420112353 indicates inconsistent caller behaviour. Some contributors who answered calls from 0420 112 353 encountered salespeople pushing private health insurance plans, while others received missed calls with no voicemail left behind. One contributor who rang back 0420 112 353 after seeing it flagged online received a prerecorded message stating the line was not active, delivered in an American woman's voice - a classic indicator of spoofed or robocall infrastructure.
What Callers from 0420 112 353 Say
Contributors who answered calls from 0420 112 353 report straightforward sales pitches for private health cover. One described the caller as 'a bloke trying to flog me private health cover', while another noted the caller 'wants to sign me up to a different health plan'. These are classic telemarketing tactics, though the combination with the broader 0420 series activity and the inactive line message raises additional concerns about the legitimacy of the operation behind 0420112353.
The prerecorded 'line not active' message encountered when calling back 0420 112 353 is particularly noteworthy. Legitimate Australian businesses typically do not use American-accented automated messages, and the inactive message contradicts the fact that the number actively called out. This pattern suggests potential number spoofing, where callers use a fake caller ID to mask their true origin.
Call Patterns and Timing
Community reports for 0420 112 353 indicate calls occurring throughout the afternoon and evening. One contributor specifically noted that 0420 series numbers kept ringing 'after 3pm', and had already reported the issue to their telco. Another report came in late evening (just after 9pm), with the remaining reports spanning early morning and daytime hours.
The pattern of missed calls with no voicemail left is consistent across multiple 0420112353 reports, suggesting an automated or semi-automated dialling system rather than genuine sales calls requiring connection. The contributor who checked online after a missed call from 0420 112 353 found 'a bunch of people had looked it up that week', indicating this number generates regular search interest and multiple simultaneous reports.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0420 112 353
If 0420 112 353 calls you:

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 0420 112 353 a legitimate health insurance company?
Based on community reports, 0420112353 appears to be a telemarketing operation rather than a direct health insurance provider line. The fact that calling back 0420 112 353 triggers an 'inactive line' prerecorded message in an American accent strongly suggests number spoofing. Legitimate Australian health insurers do not use spoofed numbers or fake voicemail systems. If approached via 0420 112 353, contact your chosen health provider directly using their official website number.
Why am I getting calls from multiple 0420 numbers if 0420 112 353 is one number?
One contributor reported receiving calls from at least 12 related 0420 series numbers alongside 0420 112 353, indicating a coordinated telemarketing or scam network using multiple spoofed caller IDs. This is a common tactic to evade blocking - when a recipient blocks one number, the operation simply calls from another. Report all 0420 series numbers to your telco and ACMA to help stop the broader campaign.
What does it mean when 0420 112 353 calls but leaves no voicemail?
Multiple contributors reported missed calls from 0420 112 353 with no voicemail. This pattern is typical of automated dialling systems used by telemarketing operations and scams. Legitimate businesses usually leave a message if they want to reach you. The lack of voicemail combined with repeated calls suggests an automated 'dialler' checking which numbers are active, rather than genuine sales attempts.
What should I do if I already gave personal information to a caller from 0420 112 353?
If you provided personal details (name, date of birth, insurance details, bank information) to someone claiming to call from 0420 112 353, contact your health insurer directly to confirm no unauthorised account changes were made. Monitor your bank and credit card statements for unusual activity. If you suspect fraud, report it to your bank and consider placing a fraud alert with credit reporting bodies. You can also report to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Why do callers from 0420 112 353 say it's an inactive line when you call back?
The prerecorded 'inactive line' message is a red flag for number spoofing. Scammers and telemarketing operations often use fake caller IDs so calls appear to come from a legitimate number while the actual call originates elsewhere. When you call back the spoofed number (0420112353), it either rings inactive or connects to an unrelated service. This tactic makes the operation harder to trace and block.
Should I register with the Do Not Call Register to stop calls from 0420 112 353?
Yes, registering at donotcall.gov.au is a good first step for any unsolicited calls, including those from 0420 112 353. However, scammers and illegitimate telemarketing operations may ignore the register. The Do Not Call Register is most effective against compliant businesses. For persistent calls from 0420112353, also report to ACMA (acma.gov.au), block the number in your phone, and ask your telco to investigate the 0420 series network.
