Caller: "Charity Australia"

This is an organisation spruiking for Charity organisations. They are persistent and try to get you to answer questions about your willingness to donate to charities.

Thanks for info. Will block. Have just checked calls I have blocked in past seven days -10. Have also had four anonymous. Always have to wait for 'anonymous' to leave a message as a couple of real contacts have silent numbers. Total blockings since I had NBN connected - 224. So grateful for this website.

Caller: The Fundraising Centre Pty Ltd

The Fundraising Centre appears to be a scam fundraising organisation that according to charities SA have been dergistered.

Saying that it's Vodafone

Caller: Presumed pest

No-message call, 4 June.

I never answer calls from unknown numbers but picked up the phone because it was next to me and waited to see if anyone would speak. They didn't, just as they never leave a message. Scamming pests. I was also hoping that as in the old days, if I didn't hang up and kept the line open for the next 20 minutes, the pathetic pests wouldn't be able to make outgoing calls from the number in the meantime. (I'll try anything.)
Incidentally, it's all very well for people to advise blocking the number. My perfectly good landline phone, a well known make, can only store 30 blocked numbers, whereas I need 300. Every single time I block a new number, I have to unblock another one that's been used by persistent, scamming lowlifes. And they simply are not going to force me to spend money on a new phone with multiple handsets. There are far better things to do with my money.

Caller: Charity Choice

They want you to answer yes or no to a few questions in regard to different charities. They then sell your details to the all the charities, then the phone calls start. They are very persistent too.

Scammer, another number blocked

They ring several times a week, l leave to go to answering machine, they never leave a message…..one of the most persistent of callers.

Calls, pick up and say hello, then hangs up.

Just hung up when we answered

Missed call, not message left. I've blocked the number after reading the reports below.

Called and left no message on my voice mail. Added another number to my blocked numbers...

calls regularly and hangs up when answering machine answers

They call but don't speak when you answer the phone. Just block the number.

Buy a Uniden phone for your landline. The bigger models have call blocking.

Repeat caller. Suspect scammers

Blocked after reading comments above.. Thank you for this service.

I have previously blocked this number however the phone (landline NBN) does show silently if a blocked number has tried to call again, and again and so on. This number has tried to call 3 times in 3 days. Thanks goodness for call blocking.
