Silent Calls and Suspicious Activity from 04 8585 4375

Nine contributors have reported calls from 04 8585 4375 (also written as 0485854375) over the past several months. The reports paint a mixed picture of silent calls, automated messages, and persistent contact with unclear purpose. One contributor experienced a minute of silence before the caller hung up. Another received an automated Mandarin-language message lasting nearly two minutes over a noisy background. A third noted the caller has phoned seven times since late March, describing a male with an accent attempting "to pull a fast one," suggesting attempted deception or impersonation.

The number is registered to a mobile service provider (Pivotel Satellite), making it particularly difficult to verify legitimacy through normal channels. The inconsistent patterns across reports - from silent calls to repeated contact attempts to automated messages - suggest this may be a rotating campaign using multiple tactics rather than a single caller with a genuine purpose.

What Callers from 04 8585 4375 Do

Reports describe several distinct call behaviours from 0485854375. Silent calls where the caller or system hangs up after establishing connection are the most straightforward red flag. One contributor reported answering to total silence lasting approximately 60 seconds before disconnection.

When callers do communicate, they've used Mandarin-language messages and calls. One contributor received an extended voicemail in Mandarin, while another experienced repeated evening calls with callers speaking Chinese who never left intelligible messages. A contributor who picked up heard an automated response in Chinese, consistent with a robocall system.

Where human contact has occurred, one contributor described a male caller with a noticeable accent who has phoned seven times since March, framing the behaviour as suspicious and attempting deception. The persistent pattern - multiple calls within short timeframes - distinguishes this from single nuisance attempts.

Call Patterns and Timing

Contributors report calls from 04 8585 4375 arriving at various times, with some clustering in evenings and at least one incident on a Saturday night involving three calls. One report noted repeated contact spanning from March through August, suggesting sustained campaign rather than isolated incidents. Another contributor described receiving four calls since April with a consistent pattern of concern.

The mix of channels - some reaching voicemail, others reaching answering contributors, and some hanging up before pickup - suggests automated dialling attempting to maximize contact attempts across different times and connection states. One contributor reported calls arriving in weekly bursts, then long gaps, then resumed activity.
