One contributor confirmed receiving a call from 04 8588 6423 identifying as Clever Contacts Charity and assessed it as legitimate fundraising activity. However, if you're unsure about any charity call, independently verify by looking up the organisation's official number and calling back rather than using a number provided by the caller.
Why did I miss a call from 0485886423?
Another contributor reported missing a call from 0485886423 without additional details. If the call was important, the caller will typically leave a voicemail message.

What should I do if I don't recognise the caller from 04 8588 6423?

Can I trust the caller ID showing 04 8588 6423?
Caller ID can be spoofed by scammers to appear as legitimate numbers. Even if 04 8588 6423 displays on your phone, the actual caller may be impersonating the real organisation. Always verify independently by hanging up and calling the organisation's official number from their website before providing any information.
Should I give personal details if 0485886423 calls claiming to be a charity?
Legitimate charities do not request sensitive personal information, banking details, or payment information during cold calls. If a caller from 0485886423 asks for these details, hang up immediately. Verify the charity's details independently and contact them directly if you wish to donate.
