Suspicious Call Reports for 0420 123 398

Two contributors have reported receiving calls from 0420 123 398 (also written as 0420123398) that displayed hallmarks of spam or scam activity. Both reports involved missed calls with no voicemail message left, a common pattern used by automated or spoofed calling systems.

One contributor noted that 0420123398 appeared similar to another suspicious number ending in 405, suggesting a possible pattern of related spam sources operating across sequential or similar number ranges. The lack of message left is typical of scammers testing whether numbers are active before attempting more elaborate contact attempts.

Call Patterns Observed

The two reports for 0420 123 398 both describe missed calls rather than direct contact. One call came in early morning (around 5:37 AM), while the other occurred mid-morning (around 8:49 AM). Neither caller left a voicemail, and both contributors chose to block the number to prevent further contact.

This pattern of silent or no-message calls is frequently associated with either automated spam diallers or scammers conducting initial reconnaissance on phone numbers before attempting follow-up contact with a prepared script.

Why This Number May Be Suspicious

Several factors from the community reports suggest caution with 0420 123 398. The absence of a voicemail message is a key indicator that the caller may not be a legitimate business or organisation.
