I have received a few calls from this number and everytime I have answered the call they have hung up on me, so today I decided to call the number back and I heard a recorded message saying something about OnePath life insurance. I will now be adding my number to the Do Not Call Register

They've started to call and hang up on me this week ... grrrr....

Not

They're still hammering away at my wife's phone, will tell ANZ I'll shift my loans elsewhere if they don't piss off.

More telemarketers probably not even really in this country.
This is pathetic and ridiculous
more so in this case I am already with the ANZ.
so I already get mail with their offers.
I think I will make a call to the bank as well as other means to get off their call list.

It's ANz

Today I received I call from (02) 8217 8051, which I heard ringing in my mobile. As it tooks some seconds for me to answer it, when I select the Answer button, I did notice that instead of someone being responding me, the call back in some way has been activated to 'call out mode' ring back to their number, as I could hear the ringing on the other side, as if I have done the call in the first place.
ON the screen of my mobile it shows both calls the one that came in from (02) 8217 8051 and the one that went out to (02) 8217 8051, WITHOUT ANY IMPUT OR ACTION FROM MY PART!
Aware that it was to connect me I canceled the call before someone had responded. It is a swindling and malicious way to take money from people by making call charges on behalf of others.
I searched on the internet about this number and lot but lot of people has suffered same experience without a way on how to STOP it.
I did researched the number in the internet, am surprisingly this number has been reported hundreds of time on various sites of doing such action. As it looks NOBODY has yet taken them down and are doing swindle business as usual at expenses of people's money.
I reported to both the QLD Ombudsman & Optus Complains. IF some one has three calls registered from this number, that is enough for the Service Provider to lodge a legal complain and report to Police

ok i am sufficiently SICK & FED UP of these stupid monkeys

been averaging 2-3 missed calls from this number (02) 8217 8051 daily for past fortnight

tried this today when phone was in hand when it rang...

1, answer & listen, don't say anything... you're "in queue" anyway

2, wait for a couple of clicks... till the autodialler connects your call to a human

3, when human says first word just YELL INTO YOUR PHONE LOUD whatever you wish to tell them

4, JUST KEEP YELLING for 5-10s then hangup.

no more Mr Nice Guy, i'm now out to get even + Interest!
(since you guys say they're bank related hey?)

You disturb my peace, you deserve your lot.

Have received 2 missed calls from this number, neither time have they left a message.  I have no inclination to ring back if they do not leave a message but it is annoying. Is there any body that we can report nuisance calls to?Number that has been calling is the same as you quote, (02) 8217 8051

Please email me if you have been receiving recent calls from this number. alison.godfrey @ news.com.au Alison Godfrey Journalist News.com.au

Got a call yesterday.  They told me I had received a letter last week from ANZ Bank re life insurance. As soon as he mentioned life insurance, I told him I wasn't interested and not to ever call me back. I then hung up.  I used to have an account with ANZ but cancelled it 2 years ago.  When I got home last night, guess what?  The letter re life insurance which was posted (according to the date on the letter) 3 weeks ago.

Same story as others... Calls to mobile started off once a week but became more frequent (1-2 daily). However my blood boiled when I received a call from them at work today. I recognised the number on caller ID and when they asked for me by name I said 'he's not here, can I take a message?' to which they replied 'no, it's not urgent'... Have had an absolute gutful and will be venting my spleen with them when I get a chance!

I have been receiving these phone calls on my mobile on & off for about 2 weeks now. If it is telemarketers I really wish that the would f*** off & stop calling me!

Just received a hangup call from this number and Googled it. Obviously telemarketers making a nuisance of themselves again.
