Silent Calls and AGL Impersonation from 08 6458 5248

Five contributors have reported suspicious activity from 08 6458 5248 (also written as 0864585248), a Telstra number allocated in Western Australia. The pattern involves callers with knowledge of recipients' names, repeated contact attempts within short timeframes, and deliberate silence when calls are answered. One contributor noted the caller claimed affiliation with AGL, the energy provider, despite using aggressive repetition tactics after being told they were unavailable.

The repeated-call pattern and silent-call behaviour suggest this number may be engaged in contact-probing or verification activity rather than straightforward telemarketing. Contributors report receiving multiple calls from 0864585248 within 24-48 hour windows, with callers sometimes using pre-recorded voice prompts when connections are made.

What Callers from 08 6458 5248 Do

Contributors describe several distinct patterns from 08 6458 5248. One caller claimed to represent AGL and had the recipient's full name correct, then attempted to direct them toward some unspecified promotion before the call was disconnected. Another report describes total silence on the line when the call was answered, with the caller appearing to listen but not speak or disconnect.

The most aggressive pattern involved four separate calls within two days from this number. When the recipient answered one of these calls from 08 6458 5248, they encountered silence, and the caller rang again approximately one hour later despite being explicitly told the recipient was busy. In each instance, the caller failed to leave a voicemail explaining their purpose.

A separate contributor received two calls in one afternoon, with the first going unanswered and the second connecting directly to a recorded voice when picked up. This auto-dialled pattern, combined with the knowledge of personal names, distinguishes 0864585248 from typical silent-call patterns and suggests the caller may be attempting contact verification or call-back confirmation.

Call Patterns and Timing

Contributors report concentrated calling windows rather than sporadic contact. One report specifically mentions four calls within two days, while another describes two calls in a single afternoon. The calls appear to cluster around business hours based on report timestamps, with calls received during morning (early 3am) and late morning periods (6am, 12pm).

One contributor noted that this number appears frequently on external call databases, with 32 reports recorded in a one-month period on another platform. This volume, combined with the spoofed-number indicator mentioned in that report, suggests 0864585248 may be part of a larger campaign rotating through various contact patterns. The caller's knowledge of personal information before or during calls indicates data sourcing from somewhere outside the call itself.
