What to Do If You Receive a Call from 04 8599 3842

If 04 8599 3842 calls you:

• Do not: Call the number back, engage with automated prompts, or stay on the line if you hear silence or dead air
• Do: Let the call go to voicemail, block 0485993842 immediately, and mark it as spam or scam in your phone settings
• Do not: Provide any personal information if someone does speak, even if they claim to be from a legitimate company
