Extremely persistent

“Energy Experts” ... no prize for guessing what they want.

The number above is one of a series of numbers which I believe are all linked to a call centre I know not where. Irrespective of the number they call me from the conversation goes along the following lines: The caller says, "Hello Mr Tran" and tells me that they can save me money on electricity bills at my home in Prahran Vic. I point out that I am not Mr Tran, I don't know who he is, I do not live in Victoria and they obviously have a wrong number. Sometimes they apologise and promise to delete me from their calling list. On one occasion the caller asked me to pass the phone to Mr Tran! This is an ongoing annoying situation. It seems the call centre has been sold a list of people to cold call and somehow my mobile number is on that list against someone’s name who isn't me. They do not delete me from the list, they simply call me from a different number (I block these as they come in) later. So far, I have received a couple of dozen calls in the last year.

They get your number because, as I understand it, it is legal in Australia for telemarketing companies to purchase lists of telephone numbers from phone service providers. They then use these lists to cold call. It matters not who you give your number to, the number, and your name etc can be sold like a commodity.

Caller: Energy experts

Called me by my full name. Have asked to be added to do not call list FOUR times. How do I report these thieves?

Caller: andy

These canvassers numbers come up on a phone number that I never release to any one other than family. So how do they even get my number????? They are a pitiful nuisance. Forever blocked. Telcos should remove their number from service if the receive more than 10 complaints for a number.

rude and annoying. block/ignore
