Keep getting hang up calls, I know they want to speak to my husband and they are from AMEX, I have told them off for calling, therefore whenever I answer the phone they hang up.

To beat them at their own game, say "could you please hold"... and don't come back to the call until they are sick and tried of waiting and have hung up.Another idea for excessive junk mail is send other junk mail back in reply paid envelopes.this way it costs them twice and they may think twice about this method of advertising over time.

(02) 8988 7183

they called me and asked if i was *** but when i asked who they where they just hanged up.

I got call from (02) 8988 7183 yesterday 2009-06-25 1.11 pm to my mobile.He claimed himself as David or something and said that he was calling from HSBC visa card.He asked for my name.He started to tell me about insurance for credit balance or something that I really could not understand what kind of insurance he was talking about.So I said "I don't say yes or no about something that I do not know or understand over the telephone" and "send me a written paper". I didn't tell my address.Then he said "OK, I leave it to you".

I've been receiving ring-silence-hangup calls from the following numbers all week:
(02) 8023 0153 / (02) 8023 0153 / (02) 8023 0153
(02) 8023 0267 / (02) 8023 0267 / (02) 8023 0267
(02) 8023 0431 / (02) 8023 0431 / (02) 8023 0431

According to the notes for (02) 8023 0000 on 800notes.com, around Oct-2007 it was American Express trying to upgrade existing customers. I've never been an Amex customer, though.

Someone commented more recently in the notes for 028-023-0431 that it's GE Capital Finance trying to sell money insurance. This makes more sense as I was once, many years ago, a Buyers Edge (GE Capital Finance) customer.

It's probably a single marking/customer service firm, though, that's getting subcontracted by Amex, GE and who knows who else. Hope this helps somebody.

picked up when they called and there was no answer.
