Suspicious Activity Reported for 0420 122 645

Three contributors have reported suspicious and nuisance calls from 0420 122 645 (also written as 0420122645).

The reports about 0420122645 suggest this number may be probing active phone lines rather than attempting a specific scam or sales pitch. The initial pause before the caller spoke, combined with the subsequent message attempt, indicates potential automated or semi-automated calling activity.

What Callers from 0420 122 645 Do

Contributors who answered calls from 0420 122 645 experienced similar patterns. One report described a noticeable pause or delay before hearing a greeting - 'hello my name is oliver' - delivered with an Indian accent, followed immediately by disconnection.

Call Patterns and Characteristics

The three reports of 0420 122 645 span early to mid-August 2026, with calls occurring at varying times including late evening. Two calls went unanswered and produced no voicemail, while one was answered. The behaviour of hanging up when encountering a non-English response suggests some level of targeting or filtering rather than completely random autodial activity.

The follow-up SMS after the call attempt is noteworthy - it indicates the caller retained the number they dialled and attempted direct contact via text. Contributors did not receive responses to their replies, suggesting the SMS was part of an automated process rather than a genuine inquiry.
