this n0 needs blocking by telstra

Caller: contact network services

this number called i answered then hung up once they introduced themselves and now they have called 6 repeatedly in quick succession i have blocked there number but now i am suddenly getting multiple calls from other telemarketers really annoying

Marketing call - ignore!

Had one just then, blocked once I saw it in here. Awesome community!

Insurance. Kept talking as if he didn't heard you at all...

Why can't we make these sorts of phone calls illegal. They called me. Referred to me by my full name so I assumed maybe it's slightly genuine. When I said yes, that's me, they hung up! I think that call was made to establish my number and my name. Looks like now I'm going to get a million more calls. I don't want to be racist as I'm a migrant myself so when I heard the Indian accent, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Sadly, my stereo typing thoughts were accurate. It was some sort of telemarketing.

They're still ringing and then hanging up, always open with "hello?"

just hang up in you . why bother calling

Some idiot left a message saying hello a bunch of times.....

Rings twice then hangs up

Caller: Contact Network Sevices

Allegedly gauging my interest in insurance, were going to "let me consider" things and call back in 3 days. The only words I spoke were "please repeat the name of your company" and, after being informed of the return call, I demanded this not occur and that I be removed from their database. Was told that I wouldn't hear from them again - we'll see! I didn't confirm my name but they had it. Never received spam/scam calls using my name before until one from a 3rd-party marketer (08) 6228 4112) who is contracted by Telstra, and they have access to your Telstra account information. Thanks heaps, Telstra, these dodgy operators are not only annoying us by attempting to have us sign up for additional Telstra services, but it seems clear that they're on-selling our private contact details to far worse scammers!!!

Just thought I would make it a round 260 complaints ... have we SO lost control of our own telephone system in Oz that we have to put up with a barrage of these calls from foreign countries?

Missed the call.....fortunately by the looks. Great site BTW!

Caller: I don't know (insurance sales)

Indian accent. I asked who was calling, their answer was not clear. I asked if they were trying to sell me something, the answer was "no". They then proceeded to ask me if I had personal insurance, I said "no". I asked to be removed from their call list and the answer was "Before I take you off our list, I need to tell you something..."

I hung up.

250 + Complaints - and that's not including the people who have NOT added their complaint !!

Called & asked for Mrs V. Said you have the wrong number.
They asked to speak to the OWNER of this mobile.
I said HOW STUPID to ask for the OWNER OF THE MOBILE
I asked who they were and they again asked for OWNER OF MOBILE
I said REMOVE me from the list & BLOCKED their NUMBER

Caller: Bottom feeder

Sadly yet another used panty liner trying to extract my hard earned dollars,, Ignore them and report them here..

I have had this number blocked for over a week with 10+ calls, none of which I have answered. Thank God the the number blocking feature on phones these days.

Same as above ALL scammers
