08 6214 2329 (0862142329): 8 reports of suspicious Perth calls asking for unknown people, requesting callbacks, and accessing personal data from 'Caspar' database.
Suspicious Activity Reports for 08 6214 2329
Eight contributors have reported suspicious activity from 08 6214 2329 (also written as 0862142329), a Perth-based local service number. The reports reveal a pattern of callers asking for people by name without explaining who they are or how they obtained the recipient's contact details. What stands out is the variety of names mentioned across different reports - Jeramy, Brandon, Trent, Demi, and Brendan - suggesting either contact list harvesting or wrong-number targeting at scale.
One report indicates particular concern: a caller claimed to have sourced the contributor's full name and mobile number from a database called 'Caspar', describing it as 'dodgy'. This suggests potential data broker involvement or unauthorised access to personal information. The Perth number 0862142329 appears to be using this harvested data to make contact.
What Callers from 08 6214 2329 Say and Do
Callers from 08 6214 2329 typically adopt one of two approaches. Some leave voicemails mentioning Krishna business, a relative, or specific names without identifying themselves or their organisation. Others answer and ask to speak to individuals the recipient has never heard of. One contributor reported the caller saying 'told them to shove off', indicating the caller persisted despite obvious confusion.
The callback scam pattern is evident in multiple reports. After an initial call with no message, recipients receive SMS texts from numbers or names like 'Demi' asking them to call back about someone - Brandon, Brendan, or Trent. One contributor noted receiving both a call and a follow-up text from 0862142329 using this callback request tactic. This two-step approach (call + SMS callback request) is characteristic of scams designed to get recipients to initiate contact, potentially incurring costs or enabling further social engineering.
Report Patterns and Timing
The 8 reports span from July 2024 to November 2025, with clustering around August to September 2025. Reports come primarily via voicemail and answered calls, with at least two instances including accompanying SMS follow-ups. One contributor mentioned 'repeatedly called and left messages' from the Perth number, suggesting persistent contact attempts from 08 6214 2329.
Contributors note the number provided no clear business name, organisation affiliation, or reason for contact. Searches for information about the number yielded nothing, as one contributor stated: 'can't find info about them online'. This lack of verifiable information, combined with the data broker reference, indicates deliberate obfuscation of caller identity.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 08 6214 2329
If 08 6214 2329 calls you:
- Do not: Confirm your identity, agree to callback requests via SMS, provide personal information, or return the call
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, ask the caller to identify their organisation and purpose before engaging, verify any claim independently using official contact details, and block the number if calls persist
- If they mention a person you don't know: Do not confirm or deny knowing that person - this is a common social engineering tactic to validate your contact details
- If they mention data sources like 'Caspar': Do not engage - hang up immediately and report to the ACMA
What to Do If You Receive an SMS from 08 6214 2329 or Associated Numbers
SMS messages asking you to call back about an unknown person (Brandon, Brendan, Trent, etc.) are callback scam indicators:

- Do: Delete the message, block the sender, and report it to 0429 999 888 (ACMA's spam reporting service)
- If you receive both a call and SMS: This coordinated approach is a strong scam indicator - report both contacts to authorities

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What is the callback scam pattern I'm seeing with 08 6214 2329?
Contributors report receiving calls from 0862142329 followed by SMS texts from 'Demi' or similar asking to call back about someone (Brandon, Trent, Brendan). This two-step approach - call + SMS callback request - tricks you into initiating contact. Scammers use callbacks to validate your number, potentially charge call costs, or engage you in further social engineering. Never call back a number that initially called you without confirming the caller's identity through official channels.
Why does 08 6214 2329 mention names I don't know?
Multiple reports show callers from 0862142329 asking for people like Jeramy, Brandon, or Trent that recipients have never heard of. This indicates either: wrong-number targeting at scale, contact list harvesting where the caller doesn't know which names belong to which numbers, or deliberate social engineering to see if you'll engage. One contributor was told the Perth number sourced their details from a 'Caspar' database, suggesting purchased or unauthorised access to personal data. Do not confirm or deny knowing anyone mentioned by callers from 08 6214 2329.
Is 08 6214 2329 a legitimate Perth business?
No evidence suggests 0862142329 is a legitimate business. Contributors who received calls from this Perth number attempted to find information online and found nothing. The caller provides no organisation name, business purpose, or verifiable credentials. Combined with reports of multiple unsolicited calls asking for unknown people and mentioning unauthorised access to data ('Caspar' database), the number shows characteristics of a scam operation, not a legitimate local service.
What should I do if 08 6214 2329 mentions a data source like 'Caspar'?
Hang up immediately. One contributor reported a caller from 0862142329 claiming to have accessed their full name and mobile from a 'Caspar' database. This indicates either unauthorised data broker access or stolen contact lists. Do not engage further. Report to ACMA at acma.gov.au, mention the 'Caspar' database reference, and lodge a report on Reverseau to warn other Australians. If the caller obtained personal details without your consent, also notify ReportCyber at cyber.gov.au.
