Nuisance Calls from 0420 142 484

Two contributors have reported nuisance activity from 0420 142 484 (also written as 0420142484). The reports indicate calls from Clever Contacts, a charity fundraising organisation, with patterns of repeated contact and difficulty unsubscribing from their calling list.

One contributor who answered a call from 0420 142 484 noted they were rung on behalf of a charity but found themselves unable to unsubscribe from future contact.

What Callers from 0420 142 484 Say

The contributor who answered stated the caller identified as representing Clever Contacts and was calling on behalf of a charity. The caller did not leave voicemails on subsequent attempts, despite the recipient not answering. One report mentions the caller said they would text but no SMS followed.

The repeated nature of calls from 0420 142 484 without clear messaging or voicemail suggests an automated or high-volume calling campaign rather than a single follow-up attempt.

Call Patterns and Timing

The second contributor reported receiving calls from 0420 142 484 over several weeks, with contact attempts occurring during both morning and evening hours. No specific time concentration was noted, but the frequency increased enough to prompt the contributor to report the number to Reverseau. The lack of voicemail messages despite multiple rings suggests calls may be automated or part of a high-volume batch dialling operation.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0420 142 484

If 0420 142 484 rings you:

• Do: Let it go to voicemail if you don't recognise the number, as legitimate organisations typically leave messages
• Do: Block the number on your phone if calls persist after you've declined to engage
• Do: Request removal from their calling list explicitly if you do answer, and ask for confirmation in writing if possible
• Do not: Assume silence on the line means the call is safe to answer or return
• Do not: provide personal or financial information to unsolicited callers, even if they claim to represent a charity

Unsubscribing from Charity Fundraisers

If you've answered calls from 0420 142 484 and wish to stop receiving contact, clearly state you wish to be removed from their calling list. Ask for the organisation's name (in this case, they identify as Clever Contacts) and request written confirmation of removal. Document the date and time of your request. If calls from 0420 142 484 continue after you've requested removal, this becomes harassment and can be reported.
