Dont bother answering landline phone due to the high volume of nuisance calls. Thanks a lot Telstra. Do not call register is useless

Caller: Claiming to the Global Shopping

Told me as I was a VIP customer I was entitled to free delivery. Then proceeded to tell me what I could buy. Told her I didn't need to buy anything. She said this is only a short term offer. Told her I don't need to buy anything. She actually thanked me and hung up.

Caller: (02) 9159 7940

Hey do you want to know how these guys work. What they would like you to do is answer your phone. They have a line connection and instantly make several spoof calls to other unsuspecting customers. Telstra will bill you at 84c per call these muppets make. They make 10 calls in a minute that's $8.40. Telstra cannot do anything to prevent this happening. Best thing you can do, set your message bank to 101. These scammers hate that as
1. They can only make one spoof call from message bank to your number
2. They have to go through several menus and options to make that one call, it slows them down disrupts their call process and even though it will still cost you 0.84 cents for the call.

If there is enough people who have the same thing happening maybe Telstra will do something to stop the like of Global Shop direct from stealing from you to make calls to further their own business

They have rung me 8 times over 2 days. I just don’t answer.

Getting a few calls per day from this number on the work landline, when I answer they hang up.

Caller: (02) 9159 7940

another nuisance retard always foreign accent and grbled id

Just hang up when you answer. I dont say anything, they hang up within a second. Does not ring long enough to go the answering machine.

Caller: (02) 9159 7940

I get multiple hang up calls from this number a day.
When I answered and finally had a person on the phone, their pathetic excuse for the hang ups was "its a system problem" and had the balls to say I was wasting their time with questions when they've been wasting my time with hang ups.

I called Global Shop Direct on 1300 792 286 and confirmed that (02) 9159 7940 is their Promotions Team (but you cant find the phone number on their website) Not exactly a great promotional team if they hang up as soon as you answer. When I informed the agent of the multiple hang ups - they sighed

Absolutely appalling Customer Service from a business.

Rang today, I don't answer any phone numbers I do not recognise. Let it ring out.

When I answered they were silent

I too am getting calls from this number. The more people who know about these fools the less they will achieve their goal.

Caller: GLOBAL SHOPPING ? ? ?

Over the past 3-4 weeks, have rung persistently every work day, at least 3-4 times.
Being an (02) NUMBEER, I have got a dose of the "smarts" and don't answer over the years. More importantly the caller only has my phone ring 6 times and then ceases ringing, with no message. People whom I wish to communicate with would at least leave a message.
S.C.A.M. Nuisance Calls, wish the Government/s of the day and other phone companies would legislate to stop this behaviour.

They don't answer, now I let it ring when I see the number.

I did the same as you - however, they have continued to ring and ring - I know the number now and won't answer. I thought No meant No!
