Received a call on Friday and Monday from this number, one claimed to be from a newspaper, they both said they were calling a solicitor (which I am not) and I have had my number for many years.

This number claimed to be a local newspaper - maitland mercury. They wanted to speak about marketing.

They called and hangup to get my name. Added to spam list after reading other reviews

I had a call this morning & I could hear people talking in the background. I kept saying hello a few times & there was no response so I just hung up.

Again I think it may be SENSIS selling advertising but thanks to this post for alerting me to this now BLOCKED number

I answered but caller Didn't say anything and hang up after 38 sec

Nuisance call. Did not leave a message on answering machine

Time wasters

These guys just called and said they were AusVance (you know that business finance mob with questionable practices).

Call is now blocked on my landline. Picked up and nothing at other end.

Answered but heard nothing. Probably SPAM.

From comments on another Who is this type page:

It was the Canberra times trying to sell advertisement. I answered today after a week of almost daily calls. Said I was not interested because i am moving. Will see if they stop calling. At least the number is showing and I can know who is calling.


Fairfax Media using Manilla-based-call-centre to process credit card payments for their newspaper advertising. Not impressed that I was not told when placing an advertisement with the Fairfax group that my credit card account details would be processed by a Manilla-based call centre. The number comes up as (02) area code which makes one assume a Sydney based firm. If I had known that my credit card details would now reside in another country I would NEVER have placed an advertisement with their newspaper. Not impressed with Fairfax Media. This is bordering on misleading and deceiving practice and in my opinion is Unconscionable conduct.

Calls and says nothing. Bloody time wasters. Grrr

Don't know who these guys were. I answered, and just heard nothing. Said "hello" a few times an hung up...weird.

I got the same thing music playing on my message bank, came through to my business mobile

Left music as a message on my answering machine?
