Is 04 8085 7086 a scam or just spam?
Based on the single report, 0480857086 appears to be unwanted telemarketing (spam) rather than a financial scam.

However, scammers sometimes use similar tactics, so if you receive a call from 04 8085 7086 and suspect fraud, report it to Scamwatch.
Why is 04 8085 7086 using a Pivotel satellite number?
Pivotel is a legitimate Australian satellite phone provider, but the use of a satellite number for telemarketing is unusual. This could indicate the caller is spoofing or using a less common service.

What should I do if 0480857086 calls me about lottery prizes?
Hang up immediately. Lottery scams often target people with promises of prizes they never entered. If 04 8085 7086 calls claiming you've won a lottery, this is almost certainly a scam. Do not provide any personal or financial information, and report the call to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
