Wine Concierge Spam Reports for 04 8995 0968

Multiple contributors have reported persistent spam calls from 04 8995 0968 (also written as 0489950968) and related numbers claiming to represent a Wine Concierge club. Eight spam reports describe a pattern of repetitive, unwanted calls over several months, with contributors receiving calls daily or every other day despite explicitly declining the service. The caller behaviour includes high-pressure tactics and deliberate use of multiple phone numbers to circumvent blocking.

One contributor noted they blocked nearly 10 different numbers from the same company, all starting with the 0489 950 prefix. Another report indicates the caller identified themselves as "Tom from wine concierge club" across multiple calls from different numbers, suggesting a coordinated tactic to avoid being blocked. The persistence of 0489950968 and related numbers even after contributors requested removal indicates systematic non-compliance with Do Not Call preferences.

What Callers from 04 8995 0968 Say

Contributors report receiving calls from someone claiming to represent a Wine Concierge club service. Callers identified themselves by name ("Tom") and organisation, making the caller appear legitimate on initial contact. However, the persistence and refusal to honour opt-out requests reveal the unwanted nature of the contact.

One contributor described the caller as "very pushy," noting they hung up immediately when the recipient declined the offer. Another report highlighted that despite explicitly asking to be removed from the calling list, the Wine Concierge operation continued calling from 0489950968 and multiple other numbers. A contributor who successfully requested removal reported that the company "apologized and complied," suggesting that removal requests were possible but not universally honoured.

Call Patterns and Timing

The calling pattern from 04 8995 0968 is notably persistent. One contributor received multiple calls daily sometimes multiple times in a single day over weeks or months. Another was called every other day consistently. A third report describes being called daily but with no one speaking when the recipient answered, suggesting automated or silent call attempts.

The strategy of calling from multiple numbers starting with 0489 950 appears deliberate. One contributor documented blocking seven different numbers from the same wine service, and another blocked nearly 10. This pattern makes it difficult for recipients to block all incoming calls from the organisation, forcing them to answer new numbers repeatedly. Two contributors reported silent calls where the caller hung up after 10 seconds or remained silent, typical of nuisance robocall patterns.
