random hang ups whenever I answer. Annoying, and now blocked.

Got another call from (02) 8094 4242 today. I decided not to speak this time and see if they would say anything, but nope after a few seconds of silence... they hung up. I don't understand why these people call so often but decide not to talk. They must enjoy wasting their company's phone bills.

I received a call just then from this number but as soon as I said "hello" they hung up.

OK great thanks for that Moe - good to know for future reference but a shame it wont stop this number from calling me every day!!

I got calls from this number yesterday and chose not to answer because i was unaware of the number. i also recieved income protection info in the mail today so im glad i didnt answer. i hate banks trying to sell you things.thanks for the help everyone

If you call 1300 305 515 and tell them your number they will stop calling. You will also have to call your bank and tell them your number is private and they cannot give it out for marketing purposes.

Got calls from this number at the start of the year now they have started again.Looked it up and got this from another website: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-(02) 8094 4242"It's Avon Insurance.  I get cold called about once every 6 months.  They represent bigger companies who are trying to sell you insurance.  In my case it is always income protection insurance from Commonwealth Bank.  I tell them no every time but they just don't give up.  They will be following up an offer you would have received in the mail.Caller: Avon InsuranceCall Type: Telemarketer"
