my phone rang this number all by itself

my phone called this number by itself i was charged

I have been receiving lots of missed calls form this number all of a sudden.  Very annoying.

why did you call me?

Had been receiving calls from this number (02) 8094 5820 yesterday at least 4 times and each time i answer they hang up?

Whats the deal with this number??? anyone knows??

getting the same treatment from them but from (02) 8094 3830 instead

i'm not with commbank/st george & i haven't signed up for anything in many,many months..........would like to know how they got my details.

how many times can they call before it's considered harrassment?

calls me then hangs up

I can only assume that you work for Aegon or another telemarketer.

The "sales agent" will likely state or imply that they work for CBA or MBF or similar. Aegon staff are trained in what they call their "No, No, and Go" policy, which means that they will not take no for an answer. They will only terminate the call after the recipient says "no" twice. This is illegal. (See Section 7.1.a. of http://www.acma.gov.au/webwr/_assets/main/lib100844/dnc_tis_standard_2007.pdf )

Aegon does not provide a telephone number on its website.

Aegon staff identify themselves as working for MBF/CBA etc, rather than as Aegon staff.

Please complain to ACMA: 1300 792 958

Also, you could complain direct to Aegon. Their normal phone number is 1300 796 170, but those staff will pretend to be the parent company. (If you have plenty of time, ask the staff member who they work for, then when they inevitably fail to mention Aegon, ask them who pays their wage.)

Instead, call (02) 8207 9000 and ask for Natasha, Head of Customer Contact. If you want, mention that Peter gave you her phone number. I wouldn't say that we're friends, but we are certainly familiar with one another's voices. Don't expect any decent response from Aegon. They believe that their staff are doing the right thing. I just like wasting their time.

Cheers,
Peter
