Wine Concierge Spam Reports for 0420 101 062

Nine contributors have flagged 0420 101 062 (also written as 0420101062) for unwanted calls related to wine concierge services. Five reports specifically identify the caller as operating a wine concierge business, with at least one contributor noting the company was using the name 'Wine Concierge Club'. A notable pattern emerges across multiple reports: this operation appears to be using multiple phone numbers within the same range, with one contributor mentioning they blocked five different 0420101*** numbers in a single day.

What distinguishes this campaign is the aggressive persistence despite explicit requests to stop. One contributor clearly communicated they weren't available to take a call and provided the best time for future contact, yet the caller continued the pitch rather than respecting that boundary. Another report notes that the operation previously operated from different numbers (03 9970xxxx range) before shifting to the 0420101*** range in mid-January 2024, suggesting an intentional strategy to evade blocks and reporting.

What Callers from 0420 101 062 Do

Contributors describe two distinct caller behaviours from 0420101062. The majority follow a telemarketing script: they call unsolicited, identify themselves as representing a wine concierge service, and attempt to pitch their service despite clear signals from the recipient. One contributor reported a caller identified as 'Matt from the wine concierge' who proceeded with his sales pitch even after being told it wasn't a good time.

More concerning is a separate report describing threatening language. One contributor received a call from 0420 101 062 where the caller threatened to involve police, with the contributor assessing the call as likely scam behaviour. This suggests the operation may employ intimidation tactics beyond standard sales pressure.

Additionally, three contributors received calls from 0420101062 that left no voicemail, indicating either automated checking or deliberate evasion of evidence trails.

Report Patterns and Timing

The calling campaign targeting 0420 101 062 shows clear evolution over time. Early reports from late 2023 identified Wine Concierge Club calls. By mid-January 2024, contributors noted the operation had shifted from their previous 03 9970xxxx phone numbers to the 0420101*** range. This timing coincides with reports suggesting the old numbers had been blocked.

Call frequency appears significant, with one contributor reporting they blocked five different numbers from the same range within a single day. The calls occur across various times, including early morning hours (01:04 UTC, 02:05 UTC, 03:51 UTC), suggesting no respect for reasonable calling windows. The mix of answered calls, missed calls, and no-message calls indicates a combination of live agents and automated dialling.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0420 101 062

If 0420 101 062 calls you:

• Do not: Engage with the pitch, provide personal details, or agree to callbacks
• Do: End the call immediately, block the number, and note the exact date and time
• Important: Be aware this operation uses multiple numbers in the 0420101*** range - block all similar numbers if they call repeatedly
• If threatened: Do not comply with any demands, end the call, and report to authorities

Why This Matters

The behaviour pattern from 0420101062 - shifting phone numbers to evade blocks, continuing pitches despite clear rejection, and at least one report of threatening language - suggests this operation deliberately ignores consumer protection rules. The use of satellite mobile services (Pivotel) makes the operation harder to trace through standard telecom infrastructure, a common tactic employed by persistent spam campaigns.
