Disconnected number

Called back. Surprise, surprise number not connected. Agree with a previous comment. Do not answer numbers you don't recognise. If a call is important, people will leave a message.

The only way these lowlife criminal scammers will stop is if no one ever answers their calls. Please don't answer calls form unknown numbers or engage these conscienceless halfwits in conversation. (And I assure you that telling a crime gang from Laos or Bulgaria or somewhere, running a scamming factory, is hardly going to be deterred by anyone telling them that they are on a "do not call" list and so would like them to stop calling.)

Caller: No idea

Keeps calling. I keep not answering🙂

Caller: Pest

Another pest that calls multiple times per day but leaves no message

Saturday nuisance call. Now blocked.

Scammers

Caller: Call centre

Wanting to install smart meter or chimney exhaust. Highly persistent. Don’t take no for answer. Cb days later. No reasoning with these parasites.

How is that Testra can allow a number to call you but the number even though visable on a mobile phone is not callable back?

Wouldn't it be a service to Australia if calls could only be originated by a legitimate phone number with a validate customer account ? What is the Telecommunications Act for? How is it rediculously so easy for scammers etc to abuse the telecommunications infrastructure? Isn't it time to upgrade it and make it more secure ofr Australian citizens?

I get many similar calls and so this time I answered but I kept silent... no one spoke at the other end then they they hung up but the line stayed engaged. Blocked.

yep junk

Caller: Fake telemarketer

Fake number. Don't bother answering calls from the low life bottom feeders using this number.

Thanks guys. Blocking the number

Unless in my contacts I never answer, but these calls are extremely frustrating as they are distracting. By contrast my wife works in health emergency and cannot miss a call. Can something be done to remove these unsolicited calls/

Ignored as unknown number to me. Glad I did …..

pest
DONT answer
Have blocked them but they use a different number

Caller: (03) 5292 3312

Answered and they hung up. Now blocked

Caller: Solar Rebate - Scam call

Indian accent asking me who I was. When I asked who they were they were calling about Govt Solar Rebate. hung up & blocked.

threatened to punch me in the face if I didn't sign up

Its Saturday and I've had 2 phone calls from this number this morning. I don't answer calls from unfamiliar numbers so don't know who is phoning and they don't leave a message. I'm pleased I checked this website so I know not to answer.
