If you are a Telstra landline customer & want to block nuisance calls like this one, you now have the option of buying a phone from the Telstra Shop that can do this. The phone itself costs $48 and is well worth the investment. Numbers you BLOCK will hear the following message; CALLS TO THIS NUMBER ARE BEING MONITORED BY TELSTRA GUARDIAN; THE PERSON YOU ARE TRYING TO CONTACT IS NOT ACCEPTING YOUR CALLS, SO PLEASE HANG UP. People you place in your contacts list will get through as usual but anyone with a private / withheld number or a number that is not in your contacts list will hear this message; CALLS TO THIS NUMBER ARE BEING MONITORED BY TELSTRA GUARDIAN; PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND THEN PRESS # AND WE WILL CONNECT YOUR CALL. You will then have the option of either accepting or rejecting the call.

Just got a call from this number, they say I registered my details for a competition and they were confirming my entry. I mentioned I didn't register anything but they ignored me and kept talking.
so I ended the call

They rang yesterday on this number (02) 8015 6963, I didn't answer, found out it's a scam, so I blocked it. They rang today on this number (02) 8599 0131, so have blocked it again. They must eventually run out of different Telstra lines :(

They keep ringing and I block the number and then they call on a different number so I block that also, hopefully they will run out of lines for me to block soon

I just used the phone number of Cohort Australia who are the people that run Winning Choice to register for every possible call they have while telling them that I am a retiree who is currently earning over $250000 a year and drive a merc. Hopefully they will spam themselves for a change.

Caller: Robocall Once answered, there is a auto message read out by a machine. Indicated this call is from Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Australia. Total BS.

Why and how can they get away with it. They are numbers provided to clients supposedly in Australia. So Telstra can block but apparently chooses not to.
Which makes me conclude that it belongs to an organisation with legal standing in Australia. Security organisation maybe? If not then Telstra is complicit in communication harassment.

I only return a call if someone leaves a message - all people important will leave a voicemail. So I know this is a scam/telemarketer as they are persistent with all the numbers but never leave a message.
