If you are a Telstra landline customer & want to block nuisance calls like this one, you now have the option of buying a phone from the Telstra Shop that can do this. The phone itself costs $48 and is well worth the investment. Numbers you BLOCK will hear the following message; CALLS TO THIS NUMBER ARE BEING MONITORED BY TELSTRA GUARDIAN; THE PERSON YOU ARE TRYING TO CONTACT IS NOT ACCEPTING YOUR CALLS, SO PLEASE HANG UP.
People you place in your contacts list will get through as usual but anyone with a private / withheld number or a number that is not in your contacts list will hear this message; CALLS TO THIS NUMBER ARE BEING MONITORED BY TELSTRA GUARDIAN; PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND THEN PRESS # AND WE WILL CONNECT YOUR CALL. You will then have the option of either accepting or rejecting the call.

I have been getting calls from this number, but now i use 'Calls Blacklist' from the android store and added the number to the list now i dont get annoyed by that number.

In many cases this caller is committing an offence under section 474.17 of the Criminal Code Act
Using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence
(1) A person is guilty of an offence if:
(a) the person uses a carriage service; and
(b) the person does so in a way (whether by the method of use or
the content of a communication, or both) that reasonable
persons would regard as being, in all the circumstances,
menacing, harassing or offensive.
Going by posted complaints It appears that they have been committing this offence since at least Jan 2014 with Posts Dec 2014 claiming that after making a report Telstra blocked the calls from their service(as set out in Industry Code Process), If these claims are factual It may be assumed that despite being aware of this behavior since mid Dec 2014 Telstra has continued to facilitate the committing of this Offence in return for financial gain.
They have been allowed to get away with this (Telstra too) because the Industry Code of Practice Process attempts to resolve the complaint without the need to refer it to the Police.
If you have received Unwelcome Communications meeting the Pattern Criteria of 3 call in over 24hrs or within 120hrs or over 10 calls within 24 hrs and you have found these "No Response Hangups" to be Menacing and or Harassing then you are well within your rights to REPORT IT DIRECTLY TO THE POLICE!

Hi I am also having a problem with this number how do I stop this

maybe we should all keep calling that number and hang up before they answer! Drive them crazy!

Can you send me your number for investigation please?

I got 6 calls from this number in a space of 1 hour. I was at work o I didn't answer until the 6th time and they started to talk. I cut them off and told them was at work and to take me off their call list as it was disgusting the amount of calls I had received and I than hung up on them

I called them from a phone box and all you get is an auto answering service, I recorded their message and played it to them next time they called

have you dealt with any government licensed organization recently ( i.e. education, healthcare, or other that is closely monitored by Governmant ......) ?

Been constantly spammed over the last few months. Started again. Told then I had already decided what day I plan to die and have everything pre-paid, party organized etc. The guy hung up on me :)

Block it - I just got one and blocked them on MY Iphone...

me to 7 per day for the last few days - i have marked them do not not answer but im having this with a few different numbers all different area codes

I've been getting calls with no messages left...constantly!! very annoying when you have a business too look after.

Me too I got calls from this number every 5mins from 1pm since now. Soooo annoyed.

I've been getting constant calls from this number for almost a week. Had 13 calls on one day. Sick of it.

Continuous calls at any time of the day. Incredibly frustrating and no messages left

Funeral plan sales

They just don't let up.

I copied your above schpeal & quoted the first sentence to "them" when I answered their 3rd call to my cell phone today. It stopped them in their tracks!

Thanks for your sharing the suggestion, just great. They claimed they worked for a survey for insurance co.(s). Arrg.

I received a call from these people, they've been sold my information and want to do a survey on Funeral Insurance to help save me money.
