Have received 9 calls in past 3 days from (07) 5512 3276 to my unlisted and very private mobile number. No voicemails being left and an inability to return the call; an automated message saying "the number you are trying to contact is busy, please consider texting the mobile number" (??? Very confusing). My 9th call was this morning and I answered. "Julie" introduced herself from Australian InsuranceLine. When I interrupted her intro speel with - "how did this company receive my private mobile #?" I was met with "Quite legally from Online Whitepages, Online Survey's and other online advertising services". I informed her the amount of calls I'd had and my grievances of the inability to return calls and clear harassment, She added - "I only have your number, I don't know where you live; I don't have your address." I sternfully demanded I be taken off the "Advertising Company Phonebook" immediately and hung up.
"We" are the 98% - this should not be allowed ! ! ! ! !

they have rung my housemate's Tablet twice today, such idiots

they are still continuing this sh*t

Calling me every couple of days, I don't answer

Received 3 calls in the past 2 days. Answered the last one, they stayed on the line for afew seconds then hung up. ANNOYING.

Legit Australian company - Insurance Line.

Most likely calling around trying to repair their reputation after dodgy Indian scammers are using a similar company name to harass people these days.

Kinda feel sorry for the company actually, but they are legit, and very polite to deal with.

I just had an pommie chick call my mobile. Explained I'm not interested and she was happy to remove my number and apologised for the inconvenience.

Received two calls in the last two days. Beep at begining of call from a auto-dialer, assume numbers are just random generated. Selling INSURANCELINE Products. Cold call, lead generation. REF: http://www.insuranceline.com.au/

They pronounce themselves as from " Australian Contact Centre " the website is; australiancustomercare.com.au Registered to AUSTEL Marketing

That is the site behind (07) 5512 3276 where a sweet ozzie lass calls herself the Australian Contact Centre. The lovely, cleverly constructed comeinsucker name this mob use for the con, Australian Customer Care, guess what, is NOT a Registered Au Listed Business. Sadly, in todays world, any ~twelve~ year old, or even "TELSTRA" could be setting up this type of blatant fraud.
I say TELSTRA for a number of reasons based on the resources available to me. Obviously, these scams are allowed as it increases revenue in combined call fees, even without the scam itself, which (surprise, surprise) the shareholders are largely isolated from. Not so obvious, is that all complainants, on every forum similar to this one, are EX-TELSTRA customers who have taken their existing Mobile and/or LL Phone Number to an Alternative Telco Provider. Telstra want you to come crawling back.
Of-course, the TELSTRA FAITHFUL will deny, but you will know the truth. I do.
TELSTRA have a way of segregating, Shareholders, Customers , and Ex-Customers who are all abused accordingly, little do they know it, but the worst is still - yet to come.
That's the brief story!
So, just put up with the increasing abuse, or show them that we are the Real MONOPLY and abandon your existing Phone Numbers for those initiated and provided by any NON-Telstra USER FRIENDLY Telco Provider.
Slightly inconveniencing, but it works, and Telstra might just learn something.

The caller was identified as a Australian Contact Centre




Reported 22nd, Aug. 2014.

How do you report this mob to the goverment do not call (07) 5512 3276 registry

So they are not a 'scam' but merely pathetic, annoying, intrusive telemarketers.
Idiots in gov. don't realise there is no value in this practice and these agencies need to be shut down.

Just Blocked the number on my phone - hopefully this will stop them.

Have received numerous calls. despite my unlisted mobile being on the do not call register. The only time I gave it out was when signing up for the Big Switch Campaign regarding fuel deals - the fact they were asking about insurance needs when signed up kind of gives it away. No doubt I will continue to get calls now even though I am on the do not call number.

(07) 5512 3276...have received many calls from this number, mostly no-one there, never leave message. I called them back just now and as Tony says, it is 'Australian Contact Centre"who say "we work for many financial institutions" and "since the call is not of an urgent matter, we will call you back". As per Taz' suggestion, I have blocked the number on my mobile phone.

Called by Australian Contact Centre about Insureline. Asdked to be removed from list.

I answered the first call and said no. But a month later, ringing me 4 times a day. 4 times a day I don't answer my phone!

Persistent caller,rings late into evening,7 days a week.Appears to be trawling,trying to gather info for a mailing list.Am well known to the police for the right reasons,thus strangers who ring my number without being on my approved contact list,now find they have been put on a Special Watch list.

received a call yesterday and today from (07) 5512 3276. belongs to a " australian contact centre" and the recorded message said that " since the call is not of an urgent matter, they will call back" .....GET STUFFED MR AUSTRALIAN CONTACT CENTRE!
