Caution: repeated rings from 086‑228‑4010 are likely unsolicited telemarketing. These calls often hang up quickly, offer vague plans, and may claim to be Telstra or a reseller. To protect your data, never share personal details such as birth dates or account numbers with unknown callers. Register the number on the national Do Not Call list, use your phone’s block feature, and file a complaint with the ACCC or your telecom provider’s abuse desk. If the calls persist, consider contacting the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman for an investigation. Staying vigilant and limiting exposure are the best ways to curb unwanted outreach.
