I was previously employed by the highly immoral Insight CFS. Basically what the company is doing is cold calling elderly senile Australians and intimating/pressuring them to purchase raffle tickets via credit or debt card for a charity such as the PCYC or RSPCA etc, which cost $1000.00 dollars or less. I am embarrassed to admit that I once worked for Insight CFS, and I feel so dirty. Hangup, if Insight CFS call you.

This number has rung us 3 times a day for over 5 weeks..what a pain

I have had 6 calls from this number in the last week I am so glad I have call number display as I just ignore them . I wish they would give up as they ring as late as 7.45 at night

Yea I got a call from this number today and they ring once and hang up. I am also on the do not call list, but they just ignore this. However this behaviour is harrassment and should be dealt with by the Police. Craigs story about his Mum being ripped off for $200 by the PCYC is just disgraceful. You need to call the TV stations to put this on the news, to prevent this from happening again. SO PCYC PFO

I've got two missed calls from this number today. When i called back i got an automated service telling me it was the PCYC. I of course called with a private number to avoid giving away my land line. Im calling the police to confirm whether or not they are ac

I hope that I am costing them heaps,,,because they keep calling my fax machine..If I am lucky,one day they will self implode..I wish I knew the personal numbers of these parasites so that I could ring them ever hour 24 hours a day until they finally got the message..bugger off

They ring up and then hang up when you answer. Grubs

Had a missed call from this number today at 5:22 pm I feel harassed because I have a silent number and also on the do not call register. I don't think charity's should be exempt.

Bloody charities exploiting their exclusion from the no-call register.

We should have a no-call register for them too.

I think these people hope you call back sa part of their strategy. Grrrr.

This number has rung several times over the last 2 weeks during the day.
I work nights it wakes me and i answer-they hang up!i rang back and is the PCYC art union Surry Hills on an answering machine!!! grrrrrr!

It's very simple, Insight calls on behalf of many charities, just look at their websitewww.insightcfs.com.auEven though they won't tell you this, or their charity clients, when you donate money to one of their charities, they will sometime down the line take your details and call you for their other charities. It's not really great, and it's illegal. Especially when charities realize you are being now mass marketed to their other causes, and you risk being a lost customer to the first charity you supported because you are now fed up with all these calls coming to you for all different charities, pretty much all the Insight ones.70 cents in each dollar you give to this company goes to the company.The so called hangup's you people are are the sub standard predictive dallier they use. There are two reasons you are being hung up on.1. because the agent is lazy, does not want to speak so hangs up soon as the call comes through.2. because they use a very poor CRM system which they cannot control because it's a UK based CRM system that has been Gerry rigged into a telemarketing system used here.They don't even understand what goes on in the background, thus some of your hangups are technical errors of the dailler.When you get a call from these people, simply tell them you want your number removed totally off their system, you don't want your number called by any of their charities.If your lucky, you will not have some drugged out low IQ agent mess up these instructions and hopefully never get a call from them again.Charities can do better than this company when it comes to making money. Insight is, and will always be a greedy company.Find them on facebook or twitter. Also visit the website as see the people who run this company.

What ever you do, do not give to these animals.My 67 year old mother often gave $20.00 to the PCYC as she felt good that it was helping troubled children.Every second month or so, she liked to give to a few charities,but these days is getting a little forgetful when it comesto her money and budget. My wife and I were beside ourselves last month when we found mum to be with not any food in the house.Somehow, the person from this number PCYC, got $200.00 out of mum, who Is on a single pension. These people are nothing morethan common criminals. How on earth could they think that she couldgive such an amount, when for years she always gave $20.00. My wife has since taken this to our local member of parliament, as the moneywas taken from mums debit card. Be warned.

Just recieved a call from this number, they hung (as other people have stated), as usual I called back and got the PCYC answering machine (how got my number is beyond me as we are not even listed!) I left my name and number and stated that they had hung up as soon as I answered and asked for a call back.A lot of companies do this in the hopes that you will call them back and the don't have to pay for the call charges! Will post more when I get to the bottom of it.

Thanks Gail.We got a call at 7PM this evening from that number and we too are on a do not call register.I think Telstra got burnt a few years ago selling those lists to the scammers.Now days I let it ring through to our answering machine to screen calls like this.If it's a recognisable voice after 6-7 rings such as a relative, I pickup.Also  *10# helps if your a Telstra customer as well.

I donot like this call. I am not sure that how the commpany know my number
