Spam and Silent Call Reports for 04 8085 7840
Three contributors have reported activity from 04 8085 7840 (also written as 0480857840), with a mixed pattern of silent calls and lottery-related contact. The most detailed report indicates a connection to Mater Lotteries, with a contributor noting they had already made a payment but continued to receive calls from this number alongside contact from different mobile numbers.
The remaining reports describe a frustrating pattern of missed calls with no voicemail left, suggesting either automated dialling or deliberate silent contact. This behaviour has prompted at least one contributor to block 0480857840 entirely.
What Callers from 04 8085 7840 Leave Behind
One contributor reported being called by someone claiming to represent Mater Lotteries. This contributor had already sent money to the organisation previously, but the caller persisted despite this. What makes this report notable is the mention of contact arriving from multiple different mobile numbers, suggesting either a coordinated operation or a data harvesting issue.
The other two reports about 04 8085 7840 mention no message was left on either occasion, despite the calls reaching the contributors' phones. One noted the calls were missed, while another explicitly blocked the number after receiving contact with no voicemail.
Call Patterns and Contact Methods
The three reports span several months, with the most recent callback attempt logged in September 2025. Two of the three reports describe missed calls with no message, a pattern that often indicates either low-quality automated systems or deliberate silent contact tactics. The fact that 04 8085 7840 is a mobile number (allocated to Pivotel Satellite) rather than a fixed line is noteworthy, as legitimate lottery organisations typically use registered business lines.
The timing of reports and the connection to multiple different phone numbers in one contributor's experience suggests this may not be an isolated incident from a single caller.

If 04 8085 7840 calls you:
- Do not: Return the call, engage with voicemail requests, or provide any personal or banking details

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why do I keep getting missed calls from 04 8085 7840 with no voicemail?
Two contributors reported this exact pattern from 0480857840 - calls with no message left. This behaviour is common with spam operations that use automated diallers to test active numbers, or with callback scams trying to trigger a return call. Blocking 04 8085 7840 is recommended if you do not recognise the caller.
Is 04 8085 7840 really from Mater Lotteries?
One contributor reported contact mentioning Mater Lotteries, but the caller was using a mobile number (04 8085 7840 is allocated to a satellite provider). Legitimate Mater Lotteries contact would come from their official registered business line. If you suspect fraud, verify the claim directly by calling Mater Lotteries using their official website phone number.
What should I do if someone from 0480857840 says I owe money?
Do not engage. Hang up immediately and do not provide any personal or financial information. Contact the supposed organisation directly using a phone number from their official website. Scammers often use threats and urgency to bypass your caution. If you believe this is a scam, report it to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
Can I block 04 8085 7840 permanently?
Yes. Both iOS and Android phones allow you to block numbers directly. If you receive repeated calls from 0480857840 after blocking, this may indicate multiple callers using different numbers, and you should report the pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au.
Why is 04 8085 7840 a mobile number instead of a business line?
The number 0480857840 is allocated to a satellite provider. Legitimate business operations, especially lotteries or government services, typically use fixed landlines or registered business mobile numbers. The use of a satellite mobile for outbound contact is unusual and a potential warning sign.

Three contributors have reported activity from 04 8085 7840 (0480857840) on Reverseau.
