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

A follow up from my previous comment last night:2 SIMPLE STEPS TO STOP THESE CALLS FOREVER!!1. Call ICT on: 1300 731 384. Tell them you would like your number suppressed.  This will forever stop all calls from their company (within 24hrs). I spoke to a lovely lady at ICT and it was no hassle at all to have this done:-)2. Call Optus on: 1300 300 937. Tell them that you have been receiving telemarketing calls from ICT on behalf of Optus and that you have already contacted ICT to have your number suppressed, but that you would also like to opt out of any other promotional calls/sms/emails.  This will further stop all other calls from Optus or on behalf of Optus.Hope that helps ;-)

I have received calls from (02) 8198 3820 every day for the last 2 weeks. When I answer there is a pause and then the call is disconnected from the other end. My number is already on the Do Not Call register, but I will try and register it again as it seems to have not stopped this company ringing. Why are they repeatedly calling only to hang up on me? What does this achieve?

I am with Optus and this number has been calling me for the last 2 weeks, sometimes 4 times a day. Don't bother picking up the call, as some have said, its a promotion thing. Obviously, Optus and/or other businesses have been selling our details for money. That's why you should be careful as to what you are signing up to.Don't answer. Ignore it. and eventually they stop wasting their time.

You don't get it though do you?

I mean, we don't actually dial your numbers in personally. We don't know who we call, it's  not in our hands.

One person may call you, you say you're not interested, that person will put the option that you aren't interested, if the computer or company, whatever doesn't comply with what option we've put, it's  not the callers fault.

I honestly don't get it, I mean.. Yes, the calls can be annoying, but jesus; you people overreact.

They have an option to be put on the "do not call list", I don't know if it works, but the option's there, so when they call, tell them.. "I'd like to be put on the do not call list". If the call happens again, ask to speak to the manager as you'd like to file a complaint.

If that doesn't work, call ASIC, there are so many ways around this, without bitching on a stupid site saying people should be jailed lol.

Get over it.

i just got the same  they rang twice  no answer i rang back and it said itc group that is so wrong and stupid at the same time i think

They have called me too.  I never answer.  I've had similar calls in the past.  They usually stop after a couple of weeks.I never answer a number I don't know.  At least you can easily screen calls on mobiles.
