OMFG!!!!
I have been receiving calls from these jokers for a couple of weeks now.
Every time I answer, there is no one there and then they just hang up.
I've tried ignoring it, answering the calls, yelling down the phone, nothing seems to make them stop calling!!!!
I finally decided today to start recording a log of how many times they call. Today alone, 6 calls. How the hell am I supposed to run a business when I spend half of my day answering or trying to ignore these calls.
I've already registered my home/work land line and both mobile numbers with the 'Do Not Call Register' years ago and I've just done it again today to make sure. Hopefully it will stop all the unwanted calls.
Who the hell do we report them too? Our phone service provider? The ACMA? The Police?
OVER IT... JUST QUIETLY!!!!
Has any one had any luck in stopping these jokers?

Finally figured out who these clown's are.
They contacted us yet again this morning and a staff member answered the call with a plain "hello".
It was after I spoke to the female that I found out they are trying to sell solar and pushed very heavily the fact of getting the Government rebate of thousand's of dollars.
Told her we lease all our premises and we have our own generator.
She said thanks and hung up.

Recieved a few calls from the above number, when you answer it - it just goes dead; ie they hang up. Having a landline with caller display helps to stop this crap, but as a buisness we answer all calls.

ASIO are tracking this one as a possible covert annoyance call to infuriate the general public.

Im on the do not call! This number keeps calling. Who is it?
Graeme
I am still recieving random calls,they always hang up shortly after I answer,I have rung them back on another phone several times but it immediately disconnects to an engaged signal after one ring.
Soph
But why would a job board contact us? Wouldn't they sift through who to call and who not to? Because I for one definitely am extremely content with my jobs. Still driving me bonkers as they called at 1 something pm today then again just now at 4:14pm!
It seems when I don't answer (as I did what some of you did and saved it as Nuisance Call so I KNOW not to answer) they call back again. If I do answer, they leave me alone till the next day!

Just tried to call, and the number is currently Switched off or Unavailable! Weird.
rona and alexia
we have a lot of numbers that tried to call us we have about 20 -19 times a day so just ignore it if some random number comes up at any times so annoying let the police know it could be a scheme.

i just got a call from this number as well and as soon as i answered it hung up also, i tried calling back and it said it was switched off ? sounds like someone trying to get access to phones and only need people to answer for whatever info they are after ? should be reported somehow ?
