I have missed calls from this number for over a week, and finally took the call yesterday. It is telemarketers offering a $20 Coles or Bunnings voucher, plus some software if you meet with their financial planners at your home $450 worth of value...)
When I politely responses no thanks, they asked why, with a predetermined question. When I agreed that I didn't want said financial planners in my home, the person on the phone suggested garden chairs in my front yard!
He wouldn't take no for an answer. I told him I was trying to be polite, but no thanks, and then hung up.
They called me back instantly and I again today.
I believe he said he was from YLG.
I note a lot of calls are centred around the outer Eastern suburbs

The company is the Lifestyle Group. I got a call from MyMoneyHouse a few months ago asking questions about mortgage, finances etc...I only received this call as I had entered my name and number in a 'Win a Kia' competition at the Gawler show this year. I declined their offer for mortgage software and that was that. Last week, I got a similar call from the aforementioned 'Lifestyle Group' asking the exact same set of questions. I declined again. They aren't scammers as such but just annoying telemarketers trying to get awareness of their product. Most of the comments here are from people who get their knickers in a knot over nothing. Just harden up, answer your frigging phone and politely decline then hang up. End of story. If your number is on the Do Not Call Register, that's fine. Just be aware that if you enter competitions, you are submitting your details and that is where the telemarketers will get your details. No need to whinge and not answer your phone and complain on pages like this. Put an informative comment instead of venting.

I received a call today, 10th Sept 2015, and when I answered, they just hung up on me : perhaps sensing I am not 'fair game' enough : I have set my home telephone system to block that number.

They are Lifestyle Group. They may be affiliated with myMoneyHouse as they called a month ago asking the same questions...vouchers and mortgage software.

Keep getting calls from this number. Have been for weeks. If I try to call it back, it says the number is not in service. Odd.

Very annoying. I instantly dismiss the call and delete any messages they send thereafter.
