Grrrrrr.... I have a new Telstra prepaid. I have received more Telemarketer calls that genuine calls. Before phoning this number back I thought I would google it.... so glad I did. Rotten time wasting, devious sods. I thought I had hung up on a potential employer the other day because I had received 3 telemarketer calls in a row and then on the 4th one, as soon as I heard the foreign voice I just said politely, "no thanks, not interested, Thank you" and hung up. My gut then said, did you just hang up on the person ringing you back from the job (ironically in customer service - FAIL!). Fortunately it wasnt the employer but I did have to sweat on in for the next 24 hours until they rang.

but they called themselves 'The Consumer Advantage Group"! Surely they're only looking after us? No?? Sigh....

Trying to sell insurance I have had 5 calls in 2 days

this is an absolute scam i had to change my number. every 5 mins they call i answered the call and nothing they just hang up on me and then recently they wiped my whole phone according to clean master app 😲😠😡😣😫

Does anyone know where I can lodge a complaint against Australian Data Services?

Yes it is telemarketing. To your comment, Telstra and Optus are not cancelling their 3G network in November, they are decommissioning the 2G network.

To Steve jacobs, Telstra and Optus are not cancelling their 3G network, only 2G.

I got a call this morning, being a work phone it gets passed around nevertheless I've had it for 12 years and he asked for the original user. He said the list came form Australian Data Services. I suggest you contact them.

I have been blocking these number but they keep calling with a new number every time.

Very persistent Indian call centre trying to sell you insurance. I get calls from them on almost a daily basis even after mistakenly picking up the call one day and then telling them no.

Started to get calls after going through iSelect for private insurance quotes online. Never reveal your real number when searching through iSelect!

...

So over all these calls why can't they just accept the fact that you don't want any insurance

got 3 today from same number....when I told them to give me their credit card details so that I can charge them $19-95 to show them how to get rid of crank calls.....they hung up.....

Said that they were from Clearview insurance selling life insurance. They had my post code. Ignored the fact that I already had life insurance. Gave them fake details. Blocked the number.
