This number called many times (12-15). They pretended to be OPTUS and asked for personal information. They are probably part of an identity theft ring.

Not so much a comment about this number, but telemarketers in general.
If they are not from this country and you don't want them to call back, don't simply hang up or put your number on the do not call register, be EXTREMELY racist. It works for me.
Personally, I don't care where someone is from or what they believe, but I use racism ALL THE TIME to upset these mongrels.
Only problem is, I enjoy doing it, but they don't call back, so I gotta wait for a new call centre to open up to do a new round.

I have been getting calls from this no. but told them that it's the wrong name & number, so we will see if I get them again. it's now the 5th day in a row.

who are these people? ive had 5 missed calls from them and they leave a voicemail but with nothing said and when i ring back its an automated message

got a missed call from this number, called back - its ITC - A company trying to sell you stuff from optus........

To 'fkinretards' why don't you find a job more fulfiling than a low life telemarketer? Why work in a job that makes you cry???????  That sounds RETARDED to me!  It's because of Corporate greed that we need jobs like that - I'm pretty sure everyone on this forum would agree with me that life would be so much happier without those annoying phone calls!

I received a call from this number at 11:57am today. Wouldn't have a clue who it was as I ignore unknown numbers but I suspect a spammer as I have been getting spam calls from a 02 number recently and now I hear this is related to Optus as well...

I just registered on www.donotcall.gov.au and I advise that everyone does the same :)

Received a call from this number about 30 minutes ago.  I had trouble understanding what the guy was saying - he was speaking very quickly and had a very thick accent (I'm not sure what it was).  He said he was from Optus, asked me to confirm my name, if I was the primary account holder and then began his spiel (again, I could barely understand him).  He wouldn't let me get a word in until I raised my voice.  I told him that I wasn't with Optus so he asked if it was because I had a contract.  I just hung up.For what it's worth, I'm on 3 pre-paid.  I haven't been with Optus for about three or four years.  I'm considering calling Optus tomorrow to see if they can do something about it.

yeh same here I got these stupid phone calls everyday even in the weekends.Once I told them not to call me anymore and was so upset at them...does optus sell our phone numbers to any marketing departments??it is really annoying!!!and i ever got this kinda stupid phone calls before from other number asking for my credit card details and they told me they were from Optus..wth!

I received three calls in one week from this number, the third call was the same promotional offer they offered on call 2. Each caller was a different sales person. Asked they stop calling, which they did. However, after a few months they have stated again, two calls in the last week. Saved the number and named it 'Do not answer'.
