0488 830 875 - 0488830875 - Telemarketer or Legit Charity? User Experiences Explored

Mate, you picked the wrong gig if harassing people with unsolicited calls was your job. Just because someone bought once doesn’t mean they want your annoying follow-ups.

I have supported this charity twice, if they keep calling then I will not support. Don't they realise you only support when you can.

Got sold a ticket once, and now they won’t stop calling me back! At least have the decency to leave a message with who you are and what you want, blokes!

This number is a variation of another one that has consistently been calling me. The first few digits are the same, but the last four numbers differ. I'm blocking this one as well.

This is a scammer pretending to be from Telstra, attempting to deceive people.

I missed a call from this number, and when I let it go to voicemail, it sounded like someone was in a call center. However, they didn't leave me any message, so I have no idea what the call was about.

A real ocker bogan idiot too busy bragging in the background to the other call-centre workers - despite being the one to call ME... Bragging he's gonna score 30 BUCKS.... I'm like who the hell are you?? OH IM FROM MATER HOME PRIZE, and called me by name - I said well I'm obviously not interested so take me off your list, you're incredibly unprofessional and not going to "Score" anything with your trashy tactics...

I asked to speak to a supervisor or manager in charge - suddenly he's all oh well I'd need to confirm your details - when he literally just said my name. Dodgy AF. I called him out and he got rude saying "we raise funds for cancer research" so indignant because he got found out..

I WOULD NEVER DEAL WITH MATER PRIZE HOMES EVER AGAIN after these tactics. I supported them ONCE, and so did my Aunt who passed away. Never again, NO INTEGRITY WHAT SO EVER.

I have requested to be removed from their calling list three times now, but I continue to receive calls. Their persistent harassment has led me to stop purchasing tickets from their organization and support a different one instead.

I am so tired of getting these charity lottery calls. I have donated what I can and you pay the price if you do it once. They just won't leave you alone. Number is blocked.

I wish the caller would leave a voicemail, but instead, I’ve decided just to block their number to avoid future calls.

Can the companies not see how ludicrous this is? If we keep bullying this person, perhaps he’ll quit buying goods from us! It’s such ridiculous behavior!

I just received a call from a woman who was pleading with me to buy tickets for a draw. I suspected it was a scam, so I hung up immediately.

They keep calling repeatedly, trying to sell lottery tickets. It's very annoying, and I had to block their number.

I recently purchased a lottery ticket from Mater Hospital for the first time in a long while. While it supports a good cause, I'm worried about being pressured into buying more tickets in the future.

My smartphone identified this number as “Thomas Direct,” but it flagged the message as spam. I have noticed similar numbers (beginning with 0488...) showing the same spam warning, so I have blocked them.

I have a subscription for their raffle and regularly purchase tickets. If I need more, I prefer to do it through their app instead of receiving repetitive calls about it.

The caller was attempting to sign me up for additional tickets, although I have not expressed interest in this service.

I received a call but didn't answer it. I checked the number here because I've supported Mater in the past. I dislike receiving unsolicited calls, but at least now I know who it was.

I'm really tired of these constant calls! I only buy things when I choose to, and anyone who pesters me just makes me more determined to say no. It's precisely why I rarely answer my phone anymore!

It seems that this number is associated with Mater Lotteries. After missing several calls from them, I called back and initially reached their prize line before being transferred to an operator. In today's climate of scams, I find it concerning that they are using a mobile number and consistently fail to leave any voicemails. Consequently, I've blocked the number to prevent further calls.

While they are persistent callers and not actual scammers, I have purchased tickets from them in the past. However, I have decided to stop buying more, as these callers are not charity workers but commission-based sellers.

They tell you they are from Materlottory. I don't think they are. Why would you give credit card details over the phone to someone you don't know? Buy the ticket online.

The report is incorrect. As mentioned in other discussions, the caller is from Mater Lotteries. It's likely that you have purchased a ticket through them before, and they are trying to sell you additional tickets. While these calls can be annoying, they are not a scam.

As a current subscriber for Mater Lotteries, I receive numerous calls asking me to purchase more tickets. While I understand it's for a good cause, these repeated requests feel like a guilt trip and are becoming quite frustrating!

I continue to receive calls from Mater Lotteries despite having a subscription for my ticket purchases. This is very annoying and it's making me consider canceling my subscription with them altogether.

I am frustrated with the constant calls from this number. If I want to buy a lottery ticket, I will reach out myself!

This number is affiliated with the Mater Lottery, which is selling tickets for their lottery. If you're interested in participating, this could be a legitimate call.

This number called but I do not answer unknown numbers as they are always scam callers. Have blocked it.
