0485 835 067 (0485835067): Contributors report persistent calls from a wildlife charity using multiple numbers after being blocked for donations.
Repeated Calls from 0485 835 067
Four contributors have reported calls from 0485 835 067 (also written as 0485835067), with a clear pattern of repeated contact and call cycling. Three reports specifically mention the caller persisting after being blocked, rotating to different numbers to continue donation solicitation. One contributor received multiple silent calls in a single day from this number with no voicemail left.
The common thread across reports of 0485835067 is aggressive persistence. Contributors describe a wildlife charity that continues calling despite explicit rejection, and when blocked, simply rings from alternative numbers. This call cycling behaviour - where an organisation rotates between multiple phone numbers after each block - creates a pattern of harassment that goes beyond standard telemarketing.
What Callers from 0485 835 067 Say
Reports indicate callers from 0485 835 067 are soliciting donations for a wildlife charity. One contributor noted the caller was 'super pushy' with donation requests. When contributors blocked the number, the same organisation simply switched to calling from different numbers rather than respecting the rejection.
Several contributors received calls from 0485835067 with no message left. One report from today describes multiple missed calls with complete silence - no greeting, no message, just repeated attempts to reach the person. This silent calling combined with the rotation to new numbers suggests deliberate evasion of block lists.
Call Patterns and Timing
The most recent report about 0485 835 067 indicates the caller made multiple attempts in a single day with no voicemail left. Other reports show this number has been used repeatedly over the past week, with contributors mentioning they've already blocked previous numbers from the same organisation.
This is a mobile number (Pivotel satellite provider), which is unusual for charity fundraising and may indicate the caller is deliberately using a personal or regional number to bypass automated filters. The pattern of rapid repeat calls followed by number rotation suggests a coordinated fundraising operation rather than a one-off mistake.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0485 835 067
If 0485 835 067 calls you:
- Do: Block the number immediately and note the date and time
- Do: If they call from another number claiming the same charity, block that too and report the pattern
- Do: Request removal from their calling list explicitly if you answer
- Do not: Engage with donation requests after you've declined once
- Do not: Return calls from numbers you don't recognise, especially those using call cycling
If the same organisation continues calling from multiple numbers after you've blocked them, this crosses from sales persistence into harassment. Keep records of all numbers used and the dates of calls.

Won't stop ringing. Blocked it and they started calling from hidden numbers instead
Called many times todat, say nothing, no messages.
Wildlife charity being super pushy, already blocked another number from them
After blocking them for donations, they just ring from a different number
Nothing left, no callback
Got a call from this number today, bothering me
Woman asking about superannuation insurance, knew my name, asked about last employer then hung up, didn't say who she was
Asian accented lady calling about insurance through super being cancelled. Wanting to gather information to see if I am affected. I'm not. So it is a cold call gathering personal information, like am I "gainfully employed", for unknown purposes.
Most likely leads to a scam.
A lady having accent talked about my super and wanted my information, like employment, age, etc. I hung up. It may be a scam.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 0485 835 067 keep calling after I've blocked it?
Multiple contributors report that when they block 0485835067, the same organisation simply calls from a different number rather than respecting the block. This 'call cycling' is a deliberate evasion tactic where a single organisation rotates between multiple phone numbers to reach people who've rejected previous calls. If this is a registered charity, this behaviour may breach fundraising codes.
Is 0485 835 067 a legitimate charity?
Reports describe 0485 835 067 as a wildlife charity, but the aggressive call cycling and silent calls suggest questionable practices. Legitimate charities respect Do Not Call requests and don't rotate numbers to bypass blocks. Before supporting any charity, verify their registration on the ACNC website at acnc.gov.au using their legal name.
What should I do if I've already answered a call from 0485835067?
If you answered and provided personal information to 0485 835 067, monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. If they requested payment details, contact your bank immediately. Block 0485835067 and any other numbers from the same organisation, then register on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au to reduce future calls.
Why is 0485 835 067 a satellite mobile number and not a landline?
The unusual choice of a Pivotel satellite mobile number (0485835067) instead of a standard landline is suspicious for a charity fundraising operation. Standard organisations typically use geographic or 1800 numbers. This mobile number may be deliberate - harder to identify, easier to rotate, and less subject to standard telemarketing filters.
How many times should I let 0485 835 067 call before reporting it?
You don't need to wait. After the first unsolicited call, you can register on the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. After that, additional calls from 0485835067 breach the code. If they continue after registration, report to ACMA at acma.gov.au immediately rather than waiting for a pattern to emerge.
Should I report 0485835067 as a scam to Scamwatch?
If 0485 835 067 asked for payment or personal financial information under false pretences, report to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au. If it's a registered charity using aggressive call cycling tactics after rejection, report the harassment pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au instead. Both agencies need to know about 0485835067's behaviour.
