I never answer calls from unknown numbers. I picked up the phone this time because it was next to me, and listened. Nothing. They didn't even bother to speak before hanging up, a sure sign of yet another call from scamming lowlifes. So I kept the line open for another 20 minutes in the hope that that might at least irritate them and stop them using the number to try to scam vulnerable people.
Please, everyone, do what so many of the authorities are doing these days and never answer a call from an unknown number, ever. Let the message, in the unlikely event that there is one, go to the answering machine/voicemail.

Caller: Charity people

Charity callers, asked for an ABN so I could verify they were true, they could not give any.

Keep getting calls from this number. Never leave a message so tells me they’re spam
I’ve blocked several variations of it but keeps coming up Bairnsdale Victoria.

Same here , this number calling even twice a day without leaving any msg.

Caller: kindness project.

Same A Holes just rang me I am adding them to my telguarder block list . I really wish the Oz gov would block the voip provider until they can assure us their services are not used for this constant abuse. Have reported this to scam watch at the ACCC.

Calls from this number are not from a charity. They are almost certainly not from Bairnsdale or wherever but from a spoofed number. And what anyone thinks the Do Not Call register is going to do about the flood of calls from scamming overseas criminals, literally millions of which are blocked every week by Telstra, is anyone's guess. Contact them somewhere in Cambodia and ask them nicely not to call Jenny because she doesn't like it? You might as well ask drug dealers to keep their drugs out of Australia.
Don't answer the calls. If no one ever answers, no one will be scammed and these sociopathic lowlifes will be put out of business (this method of conducting their businesses, at least). I believe that it was the CEO of Telstra I heard saying that never answers calls from unknown numbers these days. It is the only way this plague is ever going to stop.
(I never answer the phone, I blocked this number weeks ago, and still they try. It is relentless harassment.)

Caller: I don’t know

I’ve blocked several variations of this number but keeps coming up Bairnsdale Victoria. How do you stop them when the number keeps changing 😡

Caller: Kindness Project

Caller said they were from Kindness project - seeking money support

I also keep getting calls from this number (or a variation of) If you pick up the phone and don't talk, they will hang up. You can then block this number and cross your fingers

Multiple calls daily; when answered - no-one is on the other end; when ignored - no voicemail left.

Great advice. It seems that Telstra or the 'do not call' register is not effective in stopping this constant harassment. I have also taken to not answering my phone. I used to answer years ago when we first were plagued with scammers and someone actually spoke and I would say "hang on a second" then go take my shower, or make my cuppa and get back to my tv etc. So they would know that it was a waste of time calling my number but now it means nothing as someone else is calling minutes later. It is indeed a plague. I hope someone comes up with a block solution soon. Meantime I just don't answer my landline any more.

Relentless lowlife scammers. They will not stop attempting to call me although the number's been blocked for some time and it's quite obvious that I'm never going to answer. It's nothing but harassment.

Call everyday never leave a msg. Assume it's scam and just annoying telemarketer

Ring every day sometimes twice, but when answered no one there

Caller: Scammer

This number called saying they are from the Kindness project. I looked it up and they have been disbarred as a charity. They are a scam organisation trying it on. I have reported them to the Charity organisation that deals with all charities. Waiting to hear back from them to see what they have to say. Fortunately my phone blocks any calls from this and other numbers that they use. Other numbers are 9941, 9659, 9943. Just blow a whistle into the phone when you see this number come up??????

Someone in Bairnsdale Vic rings me once or twice a day from a range of similar phone numbers: (03) 4108 9942, ... 9941, ... 9659, etc. I don't bother to pick up mostly, if you do, they hang up straight away.

Getting calls from this number around 3 times per day. Incompetent scammer, just talks over our answering machine then hangs up, and up until recently hasn't left a message. Driving us nuts!

Caller: Nuisance caller

I've had several calls from this number always no talking no message, sounds like an auto operator just dialing anyone until the a call center operator is free to speak. Saves them time but wastes ours. also same from (03) 4108 9659.

Am on the Dont Call list, but they somehow get thru, no message, just pestering! MAKE THEM STOP, PLEASE!!!

Every day I have missed calls from this number as well as (03) 4108 9940 and (03) 4108 9941. Very annoying. I've blocked them but I still get notifications that a blocked number tried to call and no voicemail was left.
