Caller: Customer info line

I didn’t realise they’d called earlier and not left a message or they’d have been blocked before they could call again. I asked customer info line for whom and they said for a number of Australian companies then started talking about superannuation and asked if I had a financial planner, asked four questions about my employment status then told me I qualified for a free assessment and asked my name. I said I’m happy with my super and my boss is a financial planner (half true, he used to be) and I was t interested. Blocked the number. I’d like to know who gave them my number as I’m on the Do Not Call Register but I’d it’s a company you have dealings with they can call. Since they didn’t identify themselves as aligned with any company I know I will be reporting them.

0480 025 442 - Answered this call, claimed to be Customer Service (just that, not from company/org name) and asked about my Superannuation
Refused to discuss and hung up; blocked number

Multiple calls no message left, decided to Block them

How can I block them? Ie nuisance calls!

I’m blocking at least 5 a day
I’m over it

It was a hang up call. A few minutes prior I had an unknown number call ask me my name and then hang up. I don’t think the next call was a coincidence.

Caller: Wtf

Even after blocking this number and others this week they still manage to get through

Constant calls for days on end, never leaves a message, so I haven’t bothered calling it back, only rings a few times before they hang up.

Don’t block these numbers make new contact in your phone called bogus number than you can hang up on them in the future - blocking them means they just change to another number

calls a lot, never leaves message and when I try to call back I get message advising " we are unable to connect your call at this time"

Next time I hope I manage to answer it and I'll be able to waste their time too.

I never answer numbers I dont know. I let it ring then put my number on private and call the number back and 100% of the time its a nuisance call so then I block them this way they dont have my number and dont bother me again.

Caller: Some Wanker

Thanks Stephan,
That all makes sense what you’re saying, as most of these are a computer program trawling the phone (number) banks, to do exactly what you said.

Some useless stats, if anyone thought they must runout of numbers.
Back of an envelope math coming up.

What’s the total number of 10 digit (0000,000,000) total (n) combinations, eg; 10^10=10Billion.

If we use area codes, up to 14 digits, (+00,00,000,000,000) we get over 87Billion different permutations, however, it’s unlikely because mobiles and area codes are use more than once, so we could just estimate, but say, eg; really big number, (scientific terminology).

Thought I would lighten someone’s day with this useless info, also to remember to Block this spammers

Many thanks,
Robert

someone from this number messaged a collegue of mine and said it was me
When I called them back they said it wasn't them but I have a screenshot proving it came from this number

Caller: Aj Financial

People setting up appointments for someone to talk to you about your super.
All they are doing is phishing for information to either obtain you as a customer or check out there opposition what they offer etc by offering free evaluation. Don't give them information scammers.

So sick and tired of this number calling me, I called it back once (as I don't accept initial call) Message said "This number is not connected"

Caller: 0480 025 442

They called me. I answered the call. No answer from the other end. I hung up and searched number on Google to find this forum, confirming that it's a rubbish number. BLOCKED THEM!

I can't see to be able to block this number, I can never picked it up but it keep calling

I don't know how you got my number but could you please delete it

Thanks for comments from everyone now I will block this number I’m sure there will be hundreds of similar numbers that will call as they always do. There must be thousands of numbers there that they can use

Caller: Insurance comparisons

Have blocked this number a few times but they still call even after I said I had only recently changed Health insurance through iselect. She still wanted to do a comparison because apparently they use different Health insurers. When I declined again this Lady was rude and curt and pushed again to try and find out who my insurer was. I Just said “not interested, I’m hanging up now”! But She beat me to it! Just more pests!!!
