If the company is not a scam why do you hang up as soon as I answer? Same for my in laws.

Why do you live here, then?

I politely tell you "no, and please don't call again". And you call again? Don't get annoyed when I tell you to f*ck off and block your number.

The only morons in Australia are people that work for and operate market research companies. If losers like yourself stopped making unwarranted calls to us, we'd have no problem with you. Get yourself a real job, or try PAYING $$$ to people to do your market research instead of being a tightwad and expecting people to do your 'research' for free.

This company has called a private number!!!! Piss Off...

Sorry, I don't want telemarketers calling my private mobile. I am the do not call list so shouldn't be receiving these calls.

market research agency

Why don't they leave a message?

Working on Sunday morning cold calling people at 9:30am......when normal Australians are at the beach, park, cafes etc. And we're the morons?

Keep getting calls from this number, I just let them go to the answering machine. If they're genuine (which they're not), they'll leave a message. These never leave a message. You'd think they'd give up after a while, idiots

Iam in the do not call register and they still called me. Survey Of behalf of the board that review all the TV channels in Australia according to her . She said she will not ask any specific or personal questions but towards the end of her questions they were all very specific and personal and has nothing to do with any feedback re any channel but rather about you and your family members ... not appropriate or ethical questions and targeted plus very rude person with big mouth and no ears !!! will not accept their calls if i was you

I really don't care who they are, I'm on the "do not call" register but apparently that doesn't matter!!!
And stop calling me in the middle of dinner!!

I suggest we all band together and fry their phone system. If hackers can create computer viruses, why cant they attack telemarketers and self serve checkouts at major grocery stores?

interesting that I'm on the DO NOT CALL REGISTER, and yet I still get calls from this number, Andrew.....
Hence why I have blocked it.

They call all the time, just block them.. they are so annoying

No matter who the company is, if your number is on the "Do Not Call" Register, they should respect is.

Yeah. You're heaps cool.

If it's a mobile they're calling you on (like me) then maybe you have an "auto reject" option you can use :-)

Why I love my new phone - it came up that it was a telemarketer and so I didn't answer and have now blocked them. Sorry to hear your phone number got hijacked and another reason I refuse to answer these calls. It is after 8.00pm and our number is a private number AND I am on the DO NOT REGISTER listing - what part of private phones don't they understand?
Hope your phone is now ok and not getting the scam calls now
