Abusive and Threatening Call Reports for 0452 234 157
Fourteen contributors have reported calls from 0452 234 157 (also written as 0452234157) involving aggressive, abusive behaviour and explicit threats. This Vodafone mobile number exhibits a distinct pattern of harassment targeting small businesses and individuals, with callers frequently making profanity-laden threats, attempting to obtain personal information, and referencing social media accounts.
The reports suggest a coordinated harassment campaign. Multiple contributors report that callers reference their Facebook, Instagram, or other online presence, often with false or misleading claims about the source of their contact details. One contributor reported the caller claimed to have found their number on an adult website, while another described a caller who falsely accused them of making social media claims they never made.
What Callers from 0452 234 157 Do and Say
Contributors consistently describe callers from 0452234157 as extremely aggressive and verbally abusive from the outset. One report details a caller who repeated back the contributor's name and business name after they answered, then launched into profanity-laden abuse. Another contributor received multiple calls where the person was "extremely abusive" and made a direct threat to "burn down my business."
Several calls appear designed to provoke or intimidate. One caller from 0452 234 157 accused a workshop of falsely claiming to be a licensed auto electrician on social media, which the recipient denied. Another ranted about hiring practices, accusing the business of "slave labour" while swearing heavily. A contributor reported the caller threatened to contact police, then abruptly hung up.
Some callers from 0452234157 attempt to extract personal details before becoming abusive. One report describes a caller posing as a customer who asked about the business address and social media, then became hostile when asked for their own details. Contributors also report callers asking where their business was located, suggesting reconnaissance activity.
Notably, at least two contributors received calls where the person made strange or out-of-place comments before the abuse began. One caller made an inappropriate remark about an Australian accent, while another called twice looking for accommodation then switched to shouting and swearing.
Report Patterns and Timing
Reports for 0452 234 157 span from June 2025 through March 2026, with the heaviest clustering between June and July 2025. The number appears to target businesses and individuals with online presence, particularly those who have posted job advertisements or business listings on social media platforms.
Call methods vary: most reports involve answered calls where abuse occurs immediately or after minimal conversation. One contributor received a voicemail consisting solely of profanity. Another reported receiving repeated calls from the same number, each time with the caller being "extremely abusive."
Several reports directly link the calls to social media activity. One contributor noted they started receiving dodgy calls after posting a Facebook ad. Another reported that after posting on Facebook, their partner received a call from someone "yelling like a lunatic." This suggests the caller may be monitoring social media platforms and targeting users who post business-related content.
