Just had a call from them claiming they are Optus Business udzting data. They are not. They are fishimg for marketing info at the very least. Complained to Ombusmen who logged the call and advised complaining to OPTUS.

They honestly called me every day for 2 weeks (M to F) at 9.40 every day!! So intense! and annoying

Scumbags

have had the same issue ringing my business mobile this is ridiculous our business phones are for business not stupid bs. Im not with optuus im with vodafone so why waste my time you idiots

Hey all, thinking the best way is to beat them at their own game - if they call constantly answer it if you have 5 mins spare - if you own a business sell to them or if not ask them about their position there and if they like working at the company just harass them back until they stop calling.

Getting the same. Write a letter to the Ombudsman and call them up to get yourself removed and tell them about it.

Pretty sure they get fined over $100 for a written complaint, less if it's over the phone. More if it keeps going. Imagine if everyone complained? They'd go broke.

I am getting so tired of these call. I get them every day between 1-2pm, sometimes 3 times!!
What can I do to stop them calling. I do not answer the call. It is just a nuisance.

Did some sleuthing - the company is OCIS, they have a contract with Optus to spam every business in the country and "update Optus's databases".

I called their head office below which promises to remove me from their database. We shall see!

being spammed by these too. can't optus do something about this???

Claimed to be from Optus, not trying to sell anything they just want all our business details for their database. Told her to remove us from the database, she hung up on me.

Three calls a day for the last 3 days - why can't they take "not interested, please do not call again" seriously?!

Why can't we spam the number and not hear about it ever again?

it rings about 3x a week i kinda had a hunch it was bs so i just ignore it but yes i agree VERY ANNOYING im not even with optus im on THREE network THEY MUST of got the number out of the yellow pages either way they suck!

Yea i get this call every day.. im not even with optus.. wow i cant wait for next time they call.. im sooo gonna abuse them haha

Optus marketing wanting to know all my details so that he could update his database. Said he didnt have my Optus information as he was on a different database! Told him how ridiculous that sounds - not to bother ringing me again & hung up

The reps that ring from this number are definitely NOT from Optus, I actually range Optus myself to confirm this!Furthermore, the questions these (non Optus) reps ask you to confirm... such as personal info like addresses, how much is your monthly Optus bill, and when does your contract end etc etc... absolute dead give away that they're not from Optus, if they were they would obviously have these details already!!!Don't answer your phone if this number rings you... do what I do, I have a special contact set up in my phone "Sales_do not answer" which I add all the nuisance numbers to... that way my time is not wasted answering stupid phone calls from fake reps!!!

what do they do with info

who are these callers

I wasn't happy with Telstra, so I switches to Optus a couple of years ago. They would be ok otherwise if they didn't bother me with these nuisance calls all the time. Perhaps there's a better service provider somewhere?

At least they don't call my landline number, thank god. On the mobile I can ignore it. Of course it wastes time having to stop working and find the phone and check the caller id, so it's still a nuisance and a time wasting call.

they call me every week day, its very annoying. i am going to ring up my provider and have the number blocked.I did recall it , but you cannot be removed unless you can dial the options on your mobile phone to have it deleted from their list

Its so annoying that i said them NO for 3 times, but they still keep on calling me.Why don't they stop? I don't think so that they are calling on behalf of Optus.....
