Just tell lies. I like telling call centres, I'm in the building with you, or, I have warp power if it's electricity sales, or I'm already dead for life insurance. Or I work for that company or a competitor. Or I don't understand your language. Or put a kid on. Or tell them an alien has its fingers in my arse.

Caller: Survey on NSW transport

Left an unintelligible voice message a few days ago. I did catch the part on Survey for NSW transport. They have tried to call daily. Blocked.

Its EY Sweeney conducting 'research'

Just had a call tonight.. She actually sounded annoyed that I answered and she had to talk.. She said survey, I hung up..

How do we know that the ACMA "Do not call register" is sometimes not the source of those pests getting our numbers in the first place. I mean, if the ACMA register was hacked, do you think they would tell you?

Lucky for me I have a call screening facility on my mobile. I just set the recording to leave a message and they have to respond. I have unlimited nationwide call credit so calling back is not a problem for me. However, if they do not even bother to leave a message then I cannot help them...I would leave info as to what service provider has the good deals I currently enjoy however, it would probably be unethical and against this boards policy as it may be misconstrued as advertising. Sorry Folks....

A "missed call" was in our call log. Thanks for the respondents who identified the number as belonging to EY Sweeney Market Research. Our numbers are on the Do Not Call Register, however they are still allowed to call. I have written to them to the effect that we do not participate in market research surveys, hence please ensure that they do not call our numbers.

Caller: EY Sweeney

My phone identified this number as suspected spam so it went straight to my voicemail. Someone identified himself as "You"(?) Yang, lelf a message on behalf of Transport NSW about a letter (not sure what letter) in participation in the house of some survey. I was given the link to "official" government website http://www.hpsonline.com.au/ and toll free number 1800 709 777.

Caller: (03) 8199 0200

Caller: E Y sweeney

5th day in a row calling after hours from “Transport NSW”. Picked up the phone today and after 2 minutes the guy admitted he is working for a survey company on behalf of Transport NSW. I asked him if he has got my consent to call me for surveys after hours and he said he doesn’t need my consent for that. Then I asked for his full name and told
him that I’m recording the call due to too many scam calls, especially after the Optus and Medibank data leak. He refused to
identify himself(not even his first name that he initially gave me” and asked me to google “EY Sweeney”.
I told him to google “Pope of Rome” and he will find a photo of me.
He hung up when I asked for his mom’s, sister’s and daughter’s phone numbers as I wanted to conduct an after hours survey without their consent.

Received a call from this number claiming to be a survey from NSW Transport. They did ask some questions that seems personal such as my income and work address etc. But since I received a letter previously I didn't think too much since she was able to read out my address and they got my phone number not likely they got most of my details already.

They got sucked in to my "Lenny" phone app. After 10 minutes, they hung up and called back just to make sure they got had!
Don't know Lenny? Youtube search "Lenny telemarketer" and have a laugh.

It called me tonight and said it's a survey from Australian government!

First call telling me that there from the Gold Coast City Council is conducting a survey
Second call telling me that the Parramatta City Council is conducting a survey an 03 number calling me in Qld and asking me my suburb street address

Caller hung up when phone was answered.
