Hahaha just rang CNS back and asked if they would like to purchase some insurance from me. Told them about a really good deal currently running. Poor lady on the other end constantly saying sorry until she finally asked straight up if I would like to be put on their do not call register.
See if that works

I am receiving calls from different numbers, even as late as 10 o'clock at night. HOW RUDE! Lucky I was asleep when they called. Going through the same process as everyone else, block them and they call on different numbers. 'The latest one being (02) 8417 5013. Just thought I should let everyone know, just they try to call you from that number.

I usually ask them if they can hold the line for a moment then go for a cup of tea or out shopping, watch tv , etc. One time someone held for 20 minutes.

I had a friend who would asked the foreign caller perform a rude act on him but she kept on asking to access him pc.

bunnings competition

Received a call from Contact Network Services today. Person's name was Aleisha Mathews. She asked me what is more important in this stage of my life; whether it is income protection or funeral insurance. I did not answer but asked her questions such as where her office is (said Melbourne) and its tel. No. (given as (02) 9188 2579) which shows that she was not familiar with Australian tel. numbers. When I questioned why she gave me the area code wrong, she admitted that she is actually calling from New Delhi. I hung up.

Nuisance people. Calls me every day. Now I answer and let them cop the cost. I stay silent and continue with my work. I get the last laugh ha ha ha

Many thanks to the people who sell our personal details without permission to anyone who'll pay.

Just got a call from this number, someone obviously Indian but trying to do an Australian accent. Starts with "GDay, I am from CNS"..... I asked him whether he was trying to fake an Australian accent, "No," he says to which I replied "Are you sure, because it sounds to me like you are"..... Ended up hanging up on him

Thanks everyone - I made the mistake of entering a competition & now I have been bombarded with these calls. Don't answer.

I just registered here, hopefully it stops them!!

I just registered my phone number to https://www.donotcall.gov.au it is free. If they call you again I would advise them that they are breaking the law and then report them to ACMA.

Why isn't the Ombudsman's Office able to stop these nuisances

Just received a call from a mobile 0413 653 390 who was trying to speak in Chinese and hang up, then call again from (02) 8103 1135 , just hang up again

Missed a call so rang it back. Got and automated msg from Contract Services then went to hold before an indian answered.

These people keep calling me asking for a name called Madeline Lance. Initially I kept telling them that they've got the wrong number. But I kept receiving calls from different numbers asking for the same name each time. Now I don't even bother talking. I just hang up and block those numbers. But somehow they manage to call from different numbers still. Very annoying.

Thanks reverse australia for existing. I get phone calls from these type of organizations all the time, I picked up and they hung up always. I've put ALL their numbers on reject list. I wonder how much they get payed to annoy people.

keeps ringing

This is the 6th number they've phoned me on. I only answered once (by accident) and told them I wasn't interested but they keep on trying. I'll add this number to the others I've already blocked. I can't understand what they're saying anyway except for hearing the odd word which makes it clear that they're attempting to sell or scam. Why would I buy insurance from someone with an Indian accent who phones me out of the blue??

The called hanged up when I answered, happened couple times. Lucky I googled and get to see you guys posting. Have blocked the number.
