Suspicious Calling Patterns for 04 8500 1273
Three contributors have reported activity from 04 8500 1273 (also written as 0485001273), with two flagging the number as having suspicious calling characteristics. This Optus mobile number has triggered phone security warnings, though the situation is mixed - one report confirms legitimate contact from Youfoodz delivery service, while others describe odd voicemail content and suspicious calling behaviour detected by handset security features.
The distinction here is important: 04 8500 1273 appears to be a mobile number that may be generating suspicious calling patterns through automated dialling or unusual contact attempts, but legitimate businesses may also use it for customer contact.
What Callers from 04 8500 1273 Say
One contributor who received a voicemail from 0485001273 reported unusual content mentioning "initial breeding" - a phrase that doesn't align with normal customer service communication. This same call triggered the contributor's phone security system to flag it as suspicious.
However, another contributor confirmed that Barbara from Youfoodz delivery service legitimately uses 04 8500 1273 to contact customers about food orders. This contributor was expecting the call and recognised the caller, indicating the number serves both legitimate and potentially problematic purposes.
Report Patterns and Timing
Reports about 0485001273 cluster around early April 2026, with calls occurring in the evening hours (between 8pm and 10pm). Two of the three contributors noted their phones automatically flagged 04 8500 1273 as having a dodgy or suspicious calling pattern before they answered, suggesting the number may be making frequent outbound calls in quick succession.
The mixed nature of reports - two suspicious, one legitimate - suggests this mobile number may be shared between different callers or used for both legitimate delivery notifications and unwanted automated calls.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 04 8500 1273 a scam number?
Not definitively. While 0485001273 has been flagged twice for suspicious calling patterns, one report confirms it's used by Youfoodz for legitimate delivery notifications. The number appears to be generating automated or rapid-fire calls that trigger phone security warnings, but some of these calls are legitimate business contact.

Why does 04 8500 1273 keep calling me?
Community reports suggest 0485001273 makes calls using robocall patterns detected by phone security systems. If you're receiving repeated calls from 04 8500 1273, it could be legitimate delivery notifications if you've ordered from Youfoodz. If you haven't placed any orders, the calling pattern indicates automated dialling that warrants blocking the number.
What was the weird voicemail message from 0485001273?
One contributor reported a voicemail from 04 8500 1273 mentioning "initial breeding," which doesn't match standard customer service communication. This unusual phrasing, combined with the phone's suspicious calling pattern flag, led the contributor to avoid returning the call. Without additional context, the purpose of this message is unclear.
Should I answer calls from 04 8500 1273?
If your phone flags 0485001273 as having a suspicious calling pattern, let it go to voicemail first. If you're expecting contact from Youfoodz (Barbara's team uses this number), you can answer.

How do I block 04 8500 1273?
On most Australian phones, you can block 0485001273 directly from your call history or contacts. Open the call log, find 04 8500 1273, and select 'Block' or 'Add to Blocked Numbers.'

Is 04 8500 1273 a Youfoodz number?
