A second contributor reports receiving calls claiming to offer discounts on electricity bills, with the caller providing no verifiable company name or legitimate offer details. This same contributor notes the calls have recurred over years, indicating either a persistent scammer using the number or multiple scammers cycling through the same mobile.

One contributor received a call from 04 8585 5457 that triggered their phone's scam detection, prompting them to call back to confirm. After returning the call to 0485855457, they confirmed scam activity, though they did not specify what additional information was revealed.

Report Patterns and Contributor Experiences

The four reports span almost a year, from January 2025 to November 2025, suggesting ongoing or recurring misuse of this mobile number. Two contributors did not answer their calls from 04 8585 5457, while two did answer and experienced different outcomes. One heard only silence and a beep before disconnection.
