I am at the stage where I do not answer the home phone. I google the numbers to find out who called. If it is someone that I know I will phone them back. Sick of the solar/pollies/charities/marketing bullsh*t and all at unreasonable hours

Received a phone call from these pigs at 7:23 CST tonight. No-one spoke. Rang number - back they are a Survey Company - Kelly Research, based in Sydney. They CLAIM to abide by the national code of conduct. I left a message telling them NOT to call back. They immediately did. Now, I make a formal complaint to Telstra about harassment and to the Regulator and also have their number blocked. If they say that they comply with code of conduct then LET THEM PROVE IT. I have a recorded message where nothing is spoken. I encourage all other recipients of phone calls from this company to do the same. This company lacks integrity and needs to be taken through hoops to renew their licence to operate!

What give these d*ckheads the right to call us after normal work hours - wish they would f#*k off, and leave hardworking , Aussies alone to their own peaceful times !!! Ahhhgggggrrrr!!

I have just received 2 calls within 20 minutes from these jokers on my home phone at 8pm and 8.20pm and didn't answer either, I then googled here. I have blocked their number on my phone and also reset my answering machine with the message "Due to the number of scam and telemarketing calls, all calls to this number are being screened. If you are a legitimate caller, please leave a message and I will call you back". It's a sad state of affairs when you have to do this.

I answered a call from this number today, telling me they were calling from the Do Not Call Register and wanted to update my details. I asked who was speaking and was told "John McLean". Well he didn't sound much like Bruce Willis to me and was not terribly impressed when I told him if he was going to lie about his name he should choose a more believable name than a character from a movie. He was still spluttering trying to think of something else to say when I hung up.

This company must be researching people's attitude about tele-harassment.

It amazes me that Telstra can find you if you don't pay your account but they can't seem to find these d*ckhead scammers and telemarketers, I think someone is getting a back hander,..just saying.

I answered, no response to my Hello, phone hang up.

Yeah
I got two calls today on a SUNDAY 3pm n 4pm ... didn't answer either ... rang them back on private ID ETC... its a telemarketing company by the name of " TELEREACH" n.b. They also have a website etc etc

Caller: (02) 8091 0103 I don't know but it came from this number

I have a telstra guardian phone, so it didn't ring on my end but shows on list of calls that were not allowed so I'd say it's a nuisance call

Phoned me twice 7.06pm and 7.55pm and I just hung up on these useless twits and they
should look at this site to see how many complaints against them..
TELSTRA WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO CUT THESE SCAMMERS OFF AND BAN THEM
FROM USING AN AUSTRALIAN PHONE NUMBER.

I am totally sick of these unsolicited phone calls, most of which occur at inconvenient times. I am very, very close to disconnecting my landline. That most of the turds who ring have English as their second (more likely 5th) language does not help. So much for multi-culturalism - yeah?
FOAD you twerps.

6am and 6:15am calls on landline number - how rude !!

Phone call at 7.45pm!! Went to messagebank. They hung up.

Caller: reachtel Minning poll

Reachtel Working for their Mining Overlords on a Survey.

I had calls from this number on both my landline and mobile at exactly the same time. I rang the number and the recorded message said it was a research company and to find out more go to www.telereach.com.au. Went to that site and received a 404 Not found message. How surprising! I'm also on the Do Not Call register.

totally agree....just so sick of it

Rang the mobile at 7:00 when i had just sat down for dinner, Its some bulls@#t marketing company

I refuse to answer interstate numbers not in my address book. I have recorded this message on my voicemail and it seems to be working. '' Due to the rise in spam and phishing phone calls, If you are not in my address book and you refuse to leave me a message, I will block and report your number. If , however , this is a legitimate call , please leave a Message and your phone number, and I will return your call . I'm sure you will understand and thank you for your cooperation'.'' Try it.

I didn't pick up the call because my phone security marked it as suspected spam. They have just called for a second time tonight. Blocked them.

I'm on the do not call list too. Dodgy callers have no respect for this.
