WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would police call from a mobile number like 04 6782 8009?
Legitimate police inquiries typically come from official station landlines, not random mobile numbers. Scammers use mobile numbers like 0467828009 specifically because they appear less official and are harder to trace. Real police will not initiate contact about legal matters via an unsolicited call to a mobile number without prior warrant service.
What should I do if 04 6782 8009 calls asking for someone else?
Hang up immediately. Do not confirm whether that person lives at your address or provide any information. If the call seems urgent or threatening, independently verify by calling your local police station's published number. Scammers use names to establish familiarity and extract information from whoever answers.
Is 0467828009 definitely a scam?
One contributor reported this number claiming to be Mitcham Police in a way that seemed suspicious to them.

Never provide: your full name or address confirmation, date of birth, driver's license or passport details, bank account numbers, credit card information, or PIN codes.
