• Legit
• Suspicious
• Uncertain

0420 101 866 (0420101866) has 6 community reports: one legitimate PCYC lottery call, but also suspicious voicemail behaviour with impersonation patterns and repeated missed calls without messages.

Mixed Reports for 0420 101 866

The mobile number 0420 101 866 (also written as 0420101866) has generated six community reports with notably conflicting patterns. One contributor confirmed a genuine call from PCYC about lottery tickets, describing it as legitimate and for a good cause. However, the remaining five reports paint a different picture, with suspicious voicemail tactics, repeated unanswered calls, and impersonation behaviour suggesting potential scam activity on this number.

This split between legitimate and suspicious activity is unusual. It may indicate the number has been used by multiple callers, or that 0420101866 has been compromised for fraudulent purposes despite legitimate historical use.

Suspicious Voicemail Behaviour from 0420 101 866

One contributor reported particularly suspicious voicemail tactics from 0420 101 866. The caller did not leave a standard message with their name or reason for calling. Instead, they repeatedly said "hello" as if unaware they were speaking to a voicemail system. When the caller attempted to speak directly to the recipient, they mispronounced the person's name with what the contributor described as a clear Indian accent, with audible office background noise consistent with call centre operations.

This pattern - failure to properly identify oneself, awkward voicemail behaviour, and mispronunciation of names - aligns with common impersonation tactics reported on 0420101866 and flagged as consistent with known scammer behaviour on Reverseau.

Call Patterns and Frequency from 0420 101 866

Multiple contributors reported receiving repeated calls from 0420 101 866 without leaving messages. One contributor stated they received 10 calls in a single week from this number. Others noted that 0420101866 either reached their voicemail or was blocked by their phone's filtering system, with no follow-up messages left. The pattern of repeated attempts without substantive communication is a common trait of systematic scam dialling campaigns.

A contributor mentioned they could not eliminate the calls, suggesting they had attempted to block or report 0420 101 866 but continued to receive contact attempts.

Company Name Uncertainty

One contributor recalled the caller mentioning a company name they believed to be either "Kalkine" or "Calcine," but expressed uncertainty about the exact name. This vague recollection, combined with the suspicious voicemail and repeated calls from 0420101866, suggests the caller may have been deliberately unclear about their identity.
