Mixed Report Activity for 0435 198 767

The mobile number 0435 198 767 (also written as 0435198767) has received two community reports with conflicting patterns. One contributor confirmed the caller was their FedEx delivery driver in Australia, while another reported receiving a ring-and-drop call that they flagged as suspicious.

This Optus mobile number shows the kind of mixed activity that can occur when legitimate service providers share similar numbers with nuisance callers, or when numbers are reassigned between different users over time.

What Contributors Reported About 0435 198 767

One contributor identified an incoming call from 0435 198 767 as their FedEx delivery driver attempting to contact them about a package delivery in Australia. This suggests the number may be legitimately used by delivery personnel.

However, a separate contributor reported receiving a ring-and-drop call from 0435198767 - a pattern where the caller rings once and hangs up before the call can be answered. The contributor flagged this behaviour as suspicious, which is a common nuisance tactic used to trigger callback scams or verify active phone numbers for later targeting.

Understanding Ring-and-Drop Patterns

Ring-and-drop calls from 0435 198 767 are concerning because they often indicate the number may be part of a callback scam operation. When you return the call to an unknown number after it rings and disconnects, you may reach a premium-rate service or scam operation. The fact that one contributor already identified 0435198767 with this behaviour suggests it warrants caution if you receive similar calls.

The legitimate FedEx report about 0435 198 767 may indicate the number was previously used by delivery drivers, or it could represent a one-off legitimate use before the number was reassigned or misused by others.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0435 198 767
