This mob, who give the name Epilepsy Action Australia, call me every second day! I foolishly answered them once, and they had the nerve to say I had previously agreed to help them by buying their tickets, which I had not. I have told them on more than one occasion I am not in a position to help them and stop calling, but they persist. As they are not the official Epilespy organisation I believe they are just scammers, lining their own pockets under the pretence of being a charity

To all those people who have been harassed by frequent calls from (02) 9814 7425, these calls DO NOT originate from Epilepsy Australia.

Epilepsy Australia (www.epilepsyaustralia.net) is the national coalition of Australian epilepsy associations.

Epilepsy Australia does not make random calls seeking donation NOR DO WE EVER SELL RAFFLE TICKETS.

The company responsible is EPILEPSY ASSOCIATION trading as EPILEPSY ACTION AUSTRALIA, based in Epping NSW (www.epilepsy.org.au). May I suggest you contact the CEO Carol Ireland direct at cireland @ epilepsy.org.au and demand that your number to be removed from their list.

If you continue to receive calls, complaints about the way this company does business should be made to the NSW Trade & Investment, Office of Liquor, Gaming a & Racing which also deals with charitable fundraising. You can make a complaint by emailing charity.inquiries @ olgr.nsw.gov.au

This company is NOT affiliated with Epilepsy Australia in any way. There is nothing we can do to stop this company making these calls, and have certainly made our position clear to them that their actions are directly damaging the epilepsy cause and directly affecting support for people living with epilepsy.

Epilepsy Australia has a good name in charitable fundraising and for the work we do, we too are frustrated by the confusion created by this company with a name so close to ours, they are not only damaging our reputation but their method of operation reflects badly on our ethical fundraising methods.

They asked for me by name and when I said who is this they replied Epilepsy Australia.

Called twice on a row...nobody there. Wondered if they might be of these crowds who call's to see if anyone has a computer, then another lot call to offer all sorts of 'assistance'..scammers all!!!!

This number called me today and then hung up...who is it does anyone know...?

Well if they call one more time I am going to call them back and never stop so that get sick of it and hopefully stop

rings and dose not talk

calls all times of day hangs up when answered 23 to 26 Sept

Calls then hangs up immediately when you answer, calls late at night

This number called and hung up when I answered. When I called back they hung up again.

4 calls in 5 days.no messages left

They also call me every night, twice each evening & am also in the west. Any idea?

Just answered - fundraising via lottery tickets for Epilepsy Australia.  I nearly had a fit at the guy!

Keeps ringing at least once a day around the same time.  Thinking I may get Telstra to block them. Been going on for a month or more!!

Hi, see my post below, I range my service provider (Telstra) to stop the calls from their side, and it was free! Good Luck!

thanks graeme-I got a missed call, no message left ,call from this number-an unrecognised one for me as I am in the West.Confirms its not someone I know.
