Uncertain Activity Reported for 04 2999 2365
A single contributor has reported receiving an SMS from 04 2999 2365 (also written as 0429992365) containing only the message 'you there' with no further context. The message arrived without any identifying information about the sender or purpose of the contact. This Telstra mobile number has been flagged by the community as exhibiting uncertain behaviour.
The vague nature of the message 'you there' is consistent with contact probing - where callers or senders attempt to verify whether a phone number is active and monitored by a real person.

- An initial contact from an unknown sender testing response
The lack of any identifying information in the message from 04 2999 2365 makes it difficult to determine whether this is malicious activity, a misdirected message, or part of a larger campaign. Contributors who receive similar vague SMS messages are advised to treat them cautiously.
