PCYC Raffle Repeated Calling Reports for 0488 835 763

Eleven contributors have reported calls from 0488 835 763 (also written as 0488835763) related to PCYC raffle and lottery ticket sales. The dominant pattern involves repeated calling - contributors who purchased tickets once report being contacted repeatedly via this number and similar numbers, even after explicitly requesting to be removed from contact lists and blocking the number.

Seven of the eleven reports categorise 0488835763 as spam, with several contributors noting that calls continue daily despite their objections. One contributor stated they purchased a ticket once and now face constant harassment from PCYC calling campaigns. The pattern suggests systematic follow-up calling rather than isolated contact attempts.

What Callers from 0488 835 763 Say

Contributors report that callers identify themselves as PCYC fundraising representatives offering raffle and lottery tickets. One contributor noted the caller "indicated he was selling PCYC raffle tickets" when they answered. Another described the approach as a "cold call" despite the PCYC identification.

The calling pattern is deliberate and persistent. Multiple reports about 0488835763 indicate callers ring back within a week of a ticket purchase to offer additional tickets. One contributor stated "calls week after you buy tickets to offer more," showing a clear sales follow-up cycle tied to prior purchases. When contributors declined or said they preferred to buy tickets online, callers persisted with further contact attempts rather than respecting those preferences.

Report Patterns and Timing

Contributors receiving calls from 0488 835 763 report calls arriving across different times, with several noting they received missed calls that went unanswered. One contributor described the number appearing on their phone as "not-for-profit (Charity) number," suggesting caller ID spoofing or display name manipulation.

The most frustrating aspect for contributors is the repeated nature of contact. One report highlighted the core problem: "PCYC keeps calling from new numbers despite being blocked multiple times and asking to be removed from list." This indicates that while 0488835763 itself gets blocked, contributors continue receiving calls from similar numbers, suggesting a coordinated calling campaign with multiple lines. A contributor managing to block the number states they "continue to block" similar numbers as they appear, indicating an ongoing cycle.

Interestingly, Telstra flagged and blocked this number as suspected spam, validating contributor concerns. The mobile number is registered to Pivotel Satellite Pty Limited, though multiple online complaints about 0488835763 and related numbers suggest broader PCYC calling operations.
