Calls from a 1018 number to my roommates phone asking about sexually explicit deeds to be done for money. I got on the phone an asked the guy if he wanted a big black di*% an he just sat in silence then hung up. Only to call an do it all over again.

The telephone number of 1018 keeps calling on my cell phone, but leaves no message. There is no area code and no prefix--just the numer 1018. Has anyone else had this happen?

has called and hung up several times a day for the past week and a half. Have called the number back a few times and I keep getting an engaged signal.

Called and hung up.

This is happening to me over and over again as well. The number even called me twice in a five minute interval and hung up on me both times! I have phoned the number back - it just gives you a general blurb with no information at all! Its fairly poor on ANZ's behalf if they are linked with this type of repetitive calling tactic. If any one finds out any further info of whom to contact to stop this from happening please post it on this site.

What I did was report this activity with the Department of Fair Trading (NSW) in your state and say its telemarketing insurance products from ANZ. What they will do is (especially if they get a number of complaints about the same company) launch an investigation and may potentially lead to some disciplinary action taken against ANZ (eg fine etc) as cold calling telemarketing is illegal especially if you have registered your number on the Do Not Call register (as the case is with me). Take that little bit of time to report the breach so we don't have to be harrassed by ANZ and hopefully, they will cop a huge fine and stop this annoying practice of cold calling.
