Caller: Quantum PC support.

claim to be Quantum PC support.... 12 calls in last week SCAM just block.

called asking for business owner, I've asked what was the purpose and he hung up.

thank you Peter for your detailed description. I am on the "don't call" list - how do they get away with it?? Especially if they are not in Oz but overseas??

This number called a business, Asian voice said his name was "kevin", heard call centre chatter, he asked for the manager. I hung up, called the number back, got an engaged tone.

Time waster

Caller: JUST SAYS "GOODBYE" automated message. Cant ring them back. I have blocked

I think its spam

Caller: scammers

a/holes. scammers. lowlifes, oxygen thieves

Caller: (02) 8002 4760

Went out of the office for 2 hours came back 12 missed calls - 6 to one number and 6 to another no message.
Number busy when I rang bck.
Happy to see Peter's message.
Scumbags!!

Apparently this number is still in (bad) use. Now claiming to be looking to help with website advertising. Just like the million other daily similar scam callers.

yeah, we have this no calling sicne last week. very disturbing

They are back. I answer the phone to a dial tone..

They need to f... Off!!! ' now '

Still ringing two of my lines, nothing there. I hang up. And cold callers wonder why they get a whistle down the line.

This is just one of the scam and/or telemarketing calls I have been receiving.

When you say hello and there is a di~ sound, definately is not something you want (means machine is calling from number pool and when connect put through to one of the "operators). Same applies to when there is background noise. Genuine companies pay to get decent line connection so there is no way this will happen.

When you notice it might be a telemarketer, if you are on mobile it is easy, find a door put the phone near it and bang the door as hard as you can. if you are on landline, get a book and bang the wall. If you cannot either scream arrr~ as high as you can or give a big cough. Even the operator is innocent just get paid to do a job, they should find work somewhere else. So don't feel bad about it, you are doing them a favour.

Same again.. Answered and hear the change over to their voice...

Helllo can you hear me?

Well yes I can... but since you are on mute, I don't care...

Can hear in the background call centre chatter, asking for the business owner.. Just not happening... They can call all they like, I have blue tooth and I'm here to 5pm... they just make my day look busier to the boss : )

Two of my work phone lines go off at the same time with the same number.. answer and hear a bit of music and switchs over to that old cold call centre background noise we all know and HATE. It's on hold for you buddy...

4 calls yesterday from them - must have been a quiet day.....

Wow. Everything you've said is true (thankfully hasn't happened to me, but has happened to people I know), and your information should be included with every purchase of a new computer and be compulsory reading before anyone goes on the internet. I just can't believe that you went to so much trouble to write so much about it.

these disappointing human beings need to know more about karma, is that the person you really want to be even when your dead and gone?
make an impact in a positive way, these people should be ashamed of scamming their equals.

bastards
