A separate report mentions a caller asking "weird questions about reproduction" to a veterinary practice.
What Callers from 04 3544 1270 Have Done
The calls from 04 3544 1270 share concerning characteristics. One report identifies the caller as someone named "Harley Walden" making repeated calls with "creepy stuff," with police involvement mentioned. Multiple contributors describe the behaviour as "creepy" or a "prank call," with one characterising the caller as a "pervert ringing out of the blue."
The impersonation tactic appears in at least one documented case where the caller claimed veterinary clinic affiliation before asking inappropriate questions. The specificity of some inquiries (referencing actual vet practice operations and animal reproduction topics) suggests the caller may have targeted veterinary clinics or individuals working in animal care.
