Health Insurance Spam Report for 04 8599 4285
A single contributor has flagged 04 8599 4285 (also written as 0485994285) for an unsolicited health insurance sales call. The caller claimed to be making an informational call about private health insurance options, but the contributor found the approach suspicious enough to report the number.
The call came from a mobile number allocated to Pivotel Satellite, and the caller's strong accent raised immediate red flags for the recipient.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Should I answer calls from 04 8599 4285?
It's safer to let calls from 04 8599 4285 go to voicemail. If you do answer and the caller makes unsolicited claims about health insurance or other products, you can hang up at any time. The single contributor who answered this number found it suspicious, so declining unknown calls is a sensible precaution.
Is 0485994285 a legitimate insurance company?
There is no indication that 0485994285 is affiliated with any legitimate insurance provider. Genuine private health insurers do not typically make cold calls claiming to offer informational calls about coverage. If you need health insurance information, contact your preferred insurer directly using their official contact details from their website.
Why is the caller's accent relevant?
The contributor specifically noted the caller's strong Indian accent as part of their suspicion about the call from 04 8599 4285. While accent alone is not proof of fraud, unsolicited health insurance calls from overseas call centres are common spam tactics. Combined with the vague nature of the "info call" pitch, the contributor's concerns were reasonable.
What should I do if 04 8599 4285 calls me multiple times?
If 0485994285 continues to call despite you not engaging, block the number on your phone. You can also report the repeated calls to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and register your number with the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au). Document the dates and times of calls for your records.
Can I find out who owns 04 8599 4285?
The number 04 8599 4285 is registered as a mobile number with Pivotel Satellite. However, mobile numbers can be spoofed or used by call centres operating overseas. Simply knowing the provider does not confirm the caller's true identity. If you're concerned about a call, verify the caller independently rather than relying on the displayed number.

You can submit a report for 0485994285 directly on Reverseau to help warn other Australians about this number.
