wont leave me alone!

I get a call from (02) 9333 6555 3 to 4 times a week. When I answer they hang up or theres no one there. At first I thought it was a prank caller so searched their number and came up with:
www.myview.com.au which should be changed to www.ourviewisthatwedontcareaboutyourprivacy.com.au

The (02) 9333 6555 is an automated outbound number with a brainless idot incharge of it. Thus it doesnt work.

Angry, I called them on (02) 9333 6500 and told them to sort their crap out. The guy was an idot and said it was legal because they do market research.

I had to re-explain that I didnt care because 02 9333 6555 calls and hangs up on me three to four times a week. Which isnt market research, I mean WTF?

Please call them and tell them what you think of them. Please dont hold back.

Phone rang, then hung up just as I answered it.

12 july 2011 - this number just called me, I cancelled the call without answering and glad i did by the looks of it. Be careful calling back unknown numbers - in japan there is a scam where you call back and it is a premium rate number and they get the cash and you get the bill!

Recieved call, let it go to voicemail, no message just a hangup

I just tried calling that number, after a long ring...it answered with a machine, saying; " thank you for calling 'Eye View Research' leave a message we will get back to you.It was an older man, with a brittish accent. DEFINATELY NOT OPTUS!!

They keep calling me too and when i call back it goes to message bank. So what do they actually want?

Hey, guys.  I work for them and I can tell you the Do Not Call list is to prevent telemarketers ie people who want to sell things from calling.  Iview does surveys for various clients including government departments, universities and charities.  DNC doesn't cover market research.  I can also tell you the correct way to deal with a call from them.  Pick up the phone, listen to the proposal, say, (if you don't want to do the survey) thank you very much but I do not want to participate and I do not wish to be called again. I won't go into details but this is the only way not to be called again.  Otherwise you can wait until the max number of times alotted to call your number is maxed out and not answer.  Also they use "random digit dialing" which means private numbers, business numbers, pretty much any number may be called.  I'm not sure how other market research agencies but I assume the situation is similar.

I just got a call from this number, he asked for me by name and company, he knew my identify. A person named Tim, said was from Optus regarding a call we made about a week and a half ago. He was calling on behalf of Optus for Customer Service quality assurance. Well, I didn?t have a clue what he was talking about. He just keep repeating "I must have contacted Optus a week or more ago" He was checking on the customer service. I said, he must KNOW what he wants to ask about the check if I was a satisfied customer. With that, the line went dead! He hung up!! If they were really Optus checking on quality of customer service, THEY NEED TO GO BACK TO SQUARE ONE!! That was appalling!!

I have also received a call from this number. I too have no idea who they are or what they want. But, to date, thankfully (based on the above), they have not bothered to call me again.
