- Suspicious
One report for 0423 428 413 (0423428413): caller claiming name 'Ralene' but repeatedly asking for 'Lockie', exhibiting unusual behaviour.
Suspicious Activity Reported for 0423 428 413
A contributor received a call from 0423 428 413 (also written as 0423428413) in early January 2026 and reported suspicious behaviour from the caller. The person on the line claimed their name was 'Ralene' but repeatedly asked for someone named 'Lockie' instead. The caller's speech patterns were rambling and disjointed, with the contributor noting they sounded under the influence during the conversation.
The call came through to a mobile number on the Optus network. The behaviour described - inconsistent naming, persistent requests for a different person, and unclear speech - suggests this may be a misdirected call, an attempt to locate someone using an outdated or incorrect number, or potentially someone in an intoxicated state making random calls.
What Happened During the Call to 0423428413
According to the report, the caller introduced themselves as 'Ralene' but the primary focus of the conversation was asking for 'Lockie'. The contributor answered the call, which meant they were able to hear the full conversation. The caller's speech was described as rambling - not following a clear script or coherent purpose - and the contributor's assessment that they sounded under the influence suggests slurred or unfocused speech patterns.
This differs from typical scam or spam calls, which usually follow a structured script or clear objective. The disorganised nature of the call and the apparent confusion about who the caller was trying to reach point toward either a wrong number situation or someone making calls without a particular agenda.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0423 428 413
If 0423 428 413 calls you and the behaviour seems unusual or uncomfortable:
- Do: Let the call go to voicemail if you don't recognise the number, hang up immediately if the caller seems distressed or incoherent, and block the number if calls continue
- Do not: Engage in extended conversation with someone who is unclear or rambling, provide personal information, or feel obligated to help them find someone
- Consider: If the caller is clearly in distress, you may briefly ask if they need emergency help, but do not facilitate contact with other people on their behalf
