My phone rang today at 1305 hrs and as i was nearby, I immediately answered only to discover that I had been placed on hold,with moronic recorded message from some guy with an abysmal American accent.His message told me that "'we' know how important your time is and although there might be a short delay in answering your call, it is very important to us and we want to speak with you personally. We will be with you briefly". This was followed almost immediately by another recorded message this time from a female with an equally abysmal American accent. She told me a different but equally moronic and insulting message and assured me that all of their customers receive the same personal service and 'my call' would be answered shortly. I was doing other things so I had the phone on speaker because i was intrigued to find out what organization could be so incompetent in their search for new customers. The 2 recorded messages were replayed constantly with a pause of about 8 seconds between each. This went on for 25 minutes until young sounding man came on the phone to talk to me. He had an extremely heavy accent and I had to get him to spell out all the words that he spoke to me. By and large I did all the talking and asked him a sequence of questions. What was the company name? A. Astron. Where was the company? A.1/3 Victoria Ave Chatswood (Sydney). What was the company involved in? A. Telecommunications. I then told him what had happened with the call and that I could noty believe that any company could attempt to conduct its business in such an incompetent (and probably unlawful) manner. I told him that I would make a formal complaint and intended to take up the matter with the appropriate authorities. He hung up.

Tony you're a bloody beauty! I will be harrasing that number as much as they do me... idiots!

they are not a scam I use them for my nbn connection they are pretty cheap actually.

Called back using reverse look-up - thanks guys for having the list of complaints...
Here's one more...
The number was answered by a foreign sounding female and she said I must have been called by their telemarketing group.
I wish they would understand some people sleep in the day and have answering machines for this purpose. Anyway now that I know - they will never be able to get a sale out of me.
The number has been blocked from my phone...
Good day to all... Debbie

I have been getting calls from these people 2 & 3 times a day for more than a month. I resent having to have a customer wait while I answer a call and then they hang up.
On the occassions when they do answer they will not listen when told I do not wish to deal with them. Today I actually hung up on them.

I have been getting calls from this number several times a day for the last week. I never answer (thank you, CND) but it is very irritating.

These guys are harrasing me, they wont give me a break, they keep on calling and never stop

too calls over two days, very aggressive, indian accent! just hung up.isnt there anyone who can shut these scammers down

so I called Galina,
lol.
nice one for trying to source some info the on the mofos behind this icey cold calling.
That Lady is claiming she no longer works with them,
as she left two years ago! Hmmmmm I dont know......
She has asked we remove her number I told her to come post for herself.
Surely we can do something to stop this??

"Highly Impossible"?????A company that has a past track record of breaking the rules???Just some light reading for you: http://www.acma.gov.au/webwr/_assets/main/lib ... undertaking.pdfLike i said... They (possibly you??) did it before, you really think they wont do it again??to suggest that this blog is "incorrect and laughable" suggests to me that you really are out of touch, but then you worked for astron. Perhaps this is indicitive of the entire staff??

have had two conversations with these people now. get told its Asrton communications and but have been a telemarketing call. after asking them to take me off the list he said no worries. told them my number was on the do not call register. then asked how can you take me off the list without my phone number. was told to wait while he looked into it then 15 minutes of silence. just hung up http://www.acma.gov.au/webwr/_assets/main/lib ... undertaking.pdf more information for people

just found some information about phone number on separate website. hope this helps some people, cause it doesn't help me.
