I would rather that these charities would put this money towards caring for sick babies rather than paying telemarketers' salaries!

Just put ur self on the gov Do Not Call List.

Very annoying. These guys call to upgrade my donation at least every 4 weeks.

Some of their staff who make these calls are quite rude also. They are all lovely until you tell them you dont wanna upgrade and then its just a swift "OKAY THANKSBYE!"

They're still at it, even though I've asked to be taken off the mailing list.

... what a way to rape you of that 'good' feeling when giving to charity - will never give to them again and also spread the word to friends and family!

bad people this lot.Forever asking for more info,you tell them the house is gone,the weeding rings are sold 9 years work without a week off and they just dont stop.

Received call at 7.54am. Displayed missed call status immediately. Unable to call back "engaged".

Repeated calls no message left. I called the 1800 number mentioned above to request removal from database. Fyi - Mater also handles other lotteries including Endeavour and MS.

Mater Lotteries call centre phones people even if they have already purchased tickets. The business is poorly run. Another telemarketerr has decided it will stop phoning people, or was forced ;o)

Same

Try to understand, Mater is attempting to raise funds for the care of seriously ill babies! They take babies in from all over the country. Critical care is not cheap and funds are always needed to keep these babies alive. Have a heart people and stop bitching! If you don't want the calls just answer the phone and let the operator know you'd like to be removed from the data base. If you don't answer, they will call again. I am a VIP with the Mater and love helping. I don't love the calls so I asked and have since not been called.

I too have been receiving calls very often. If they don't get you on your mobile they call you on home or office numbers and don't leave any message. I have support them on a monthly basis but now I have to review my supprort to them!!

Call Mater Lotteries on 1800 067 066 and ask them to take you off the list. They say it'll take up to a week to action, they were very nice about it.

Why do they bother phoning and not leaving a message? Cant even put a block on the DO NOT CALL REGISTER.

This number called me few times on my mobile. When i called back, it was always engaged. I do not know who really is or are. and what is the reason for such a strange action for a profitable business.Yes I involve buying tickets from mater lotteries and if this is the case i would never ever give them a penny. if They are the mater lotteries, they would be the empty battery which ends in the historic rubbish pin.

Phoned me trying to sell me a package from telstra, but didn't really have access to telstra account info and I didn't give any. She talked to me like I was almost a friend.

5 calls a day while I am at work, I have asked not to call several times. My new phone can block calls, way to go.

Me too, just received 2 calls & no message left! If it wasn't for this site I would still be wondering who they are, I have bought tickets in the past.

These people keep calling me trying to sell me tickets in the next draw despite having told them that I am NOT interested and would like to be removed from their database.

So sick of them. I already buy a $30 ticket book every month by direct debit. I am thinking of cancelling because of the constant harassment.
