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.

THIS NUMBER JUST WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! it is even more annoying to now know that it is ANZ to which I have had no dealings with and would love to know what company sold my details to them!!!!

FINALLY!!! Someone rang me from this number and actually spoke. They were from ANZ bank and were calling to try and sell me life insurance...rubbish. When I asked why I'd had so many hang ups from this number the guy said it was probably because they don't physically dial the number. All calls are made by..... a computer!!! Anyway, they have now stopped calling me so 'good luck' to you all :o)

I received only one call for 1018 yesterday.  Obviously, we can't call back to see who it is.  I want to know how they are able to display only 4 digits.

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.

repeated calls that hang up when answered

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.
