Suspicious SMS from 04 5800 3176
A single contributor has reported receiving a suspicious SMS message from 04 5800 3176 (also written as 0458003176). The message contained the phrase 'See you soon', which is particularly concerning because the contributor had no prior contact with the sender and did not recognise the number.
This type of message is commonly associated with several scam or manipulation tactics: the sender may be attempting to establish false familiarity, testing whether the number is active, or setting up for follow-up contact. The vague nature of 'See you soon' without context suggests the sender is either attempting to confuse the recipient or probe for a response that indicates engagement.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What does 'See you soon' from an unknown number mean?
This vague message from 04 5800 3176 is often used by scammers to create false familiarity or confusion. The sender may be testing whether you'll respond, attempting social engineering, or preparing a follow-up scam. Do not assume you know the sender or that you've met them before - it's a common manipulation tactic. Block the number 0458003176 and do not reply.
Should I call back the number 04 5800 3176 to ask who it is?
No. Calling back 0458003176 confirms your number is active and monitored, which can lead to more calls or messages. Scammers often use callback tactics to engage targets. Instead, block the number and report it to ACMA via scamwatch.gov.au.
Is 04 5800 3176 a legitimate Telstra customer service number?
No. While 0458003176 is registered as a Telstra mobile number, the suspicious SMS pattern reported by the contributor suggests it is not an official Telstra service number. Legitimate Telstra contact numbers begin with 1300 or 13. Do not engage with this number.
What should I do if I already replied to the SMS from 04 5800 3176?
If you replied to 0458003176, monitor your phone and email for follow-up contact. Block the number immediately and do not engage further. Watch for phishing emails or calls that follow. Consider reporting the number to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and changing your privacy settings on social media, as scammers may use replies to research targets.
Can I report this number to my phone provider?
Yes. Contact Telstra directly (as the provider for 04 5800 3176 / 0458003176) and report the suspicious SMS. You can also file a report with ACMA at acma.gov.au or forward the message to 0429 999 888. This helps block the number across the network and protects other Australians.
Why does 04 5800 3176 only have one report?
This number may be newly active, recently acquired by a scammer, or used sporadically. A single report doesn't mean it's safe - it indicates early detection by a community contributor. If you receive similar contact from 0458003176, please report it on Reverseau to help identify patterns and protect others.
