Caller: Garvan Institute of Research (and sh*thouse call centre systems)

Bombarded in recent times with calls from these jerks that do not connect. Upon me calling them back, it does not let you enter your own number to remove yourself from call list.
I contacted the company direct on (02) 9295 8100, and charmed my way through to Maree, who although sounded nice, has the intellect of a box of nails.
Go fk yourself Garvan Institute!

Calls but doesn’t leave any message, now blocked.

Caller: Did not leave a message

when looked up caller reverse on this number I knew I should not have filled in a Garvin Institute form to download information on Osteoporosis as now they are cold calling. Not happy.

4 messages in 2 minutes from these c unts.

Caller: Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute [Melbourne VIC]

Looking for donations to research cardiovascular disease and to target diabetes, heart disease, obesity and their complications. Very persistent caller - Doesn't want to take NO for an answer. Hung up on him.

Calls but doesn’t leave any message

Claimed to be the Garvin Institute. Phone number 8307 5439 which is almost the same as the number given in previous reports

Caller: Garvan Institute of Research

Answered this unknown (02) 8307 5437 number with 'hello'. An unidentified female immediately asked for me by name. I asked who was calling before providing her with any details. She told me she was calling from the Garvan Institute of Research and that my call was being recorded!! I told her how dare she record me before she had identified herself and had commenced speaking with me. I immediately hung up and blocked the number.

Caller: (02) 9307 5437

Have blocked this number but !!
I’ve had numerous calls from them over numerous months but blocking the number doesn’t seem to work
When do we get to call this am invasion of privacy or harrassment

Caller: Dont know prob garvan

Wont pick up if i don't recognize number n hope they leave a msg but no. I know these callers have a job to do but to keep calling is harassment, they ring home phone 1st then mobile n usually at same times every day. Invasion of privacy n making me paranoid,so i don't answer any calls now. Thankyou for allowing me to comment n it's good to be able to read other peoples comments

I got 4 in 2 hours, 7 (so far) in 2 days but I think you win. I only answer so it stops ringing then I walk away from the phone and hopefully waste their time.

Number is still active. Rang off without leaving a message.

Caller: Garvin Institute

Left no message, when I rang back went to answering machine saying call from Garvin Institute.

Ever since I answered to a survey and said yes once, on a daily basis at times I get bombarded by calls from charity to business (that has no good cause / real aid for the community other than profit). It is frustrating not knowing if the call was legitimate by not answering or constantly checking reverse number look up to block.

I advise other people say no to these surveys as I think they found a means to escape the do not call list. Generous once but get abused by ruthless call centers that do not listen to the word no.

Rang off after a couple of rings, no message. Robot?

(02) 8307 5437 called me 7th February, I didn't answer in time, no message left on voice mail.
