Caller: random bs

just block their number on mobiles (I plan to take the call next time and waste a vast amount of their time pretending to be a 67 year old disability pensioner, I am actually 25 and perfectly healthy but I know that will get them excited and willing to waste a few hours)

other than doing something similar to frustrate and annoy them back, please report the number to: https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/report-a-scam

Caller: Telemarketers

This number called me at 7pm. When he said he was from a market research place I asked him to delete my number.

Just got a call & tried to sell me energy plan. Hung up on them

They hang up after I picked up their call and they never stop calling.

Caller: Probably scam

Thank to all the comments it really helps a lot.
I keep having these call almost everyday. Early morning till 9pm at night. Don't know how they have my number even though i don't even go online doing survey or anything. ...
This result in me have to turn my phone on silent 98% of the time.

Caller: ‭(02) 8016 7799‬

Called, I picked up and said hello, no answer. Could hear a lot of background noise, but nothing else, then they hung up. I have blocked this number

Called at 8pm even tho I am on the do not call register . Didn't bother answering ESP knowing it's an interstate number .

Didn’t leave a message.

Scammers, grow up you idiot's.

everyone should block all 02 8016 XXXX numbers... just wasting my time...ring and leave no message

Very annoying calling numerous times of the day. Never leave messages. Told the caller thid morning that I have repeatly asked not to be called and low an behold few hours later another call, needless to say they Copt a sh** load of abuse from me.

This is a dodgy marketing company. Interesting it was with 20 minutes of a well known scam number. Telstra's guardian might be good, however it should be part of the standard service. Telstra knowingly allow these relay calls from overseas (ie India) to relay off this 02 80××××××× number to appear as it is local. In some cases it is probably Telstra selling this as a service to overseas call centres. As such they, and other Australian telcos, are making money selling the relay service and then selling the Gardian product to stop it. Telcos are also making money by allowing SMS's with senders like 'VIP' and 'Lotto' rather than a number to reduce the ability to block. They are allowing this service and no doubt making money. Then selling us a product to stop. For those who are scammed the Telcos are partially responsible.

I do have Call Guardian and I love it, but now they have taken to calling my mobile! This one today from this number is VERY dangerous. Sent me a text message (addressed to dear Judy!!!!) telling me that my $1600 odd is ready to collect, just follow "this" link. I googled the name on the link and it is some crypto coin crowd, Just as well I don't have any of those, or I may have fallen for it!
