Caller: ORC International

Claim to be a global research firm.

Caller: SA Power Networks (allegedly)

Operator confirmed my name and phone number and asked if I had contacted SA Power Networks recently. Told him "no".

Caller: (03) 8256 1755

Always receive a call start from (03) including this number (03) 8256 1755.
It's very annoying.

Caller: OCR International

i am from ORC International on behalf if the Australian government.what a crock of sh*t,call was at 7.45 pm,governments rarely work outside of business hours,so its a scam as far as i am concerned.prob from facebook data breach or some sh*t liek that has sold our information,or the telco im with Lebara.either way nuisance calls,i am also on the do not call register,but somehow they are able to circumvent this as they are not selling anything as other have stated here on the forum.

Add another complaint to the list. they call my mobile, "gov. survey to update travel statistics"
Once telstra called me on a broadband sim. I have dual sim phone so keep it together for data only.

I am sorry that you have to work for a company that does cold calling, regardless of your sponsors.

No-one likes cold callers, so anyone, so unless a message is left, to the block list you must go...

And if you did leave a message.....to the block list you must go...

rang on a sunday. no msg left

Caller: (03) 8256 1755

I have had 3 calls to my mobile from this number ..each one around .4.30pm in the afternoon ..even on a Sunday . Does anyone actually know where it comes from ? I thought I had blocked the number ..and certainly said not to call again . I did not answer the one today .

Caller: orc something

polite but how they know my number?

Caller: OCR International

Yes they called me from (03) 8256 1755 and (03) 9038 3887 on my mobile and landline. Complete waste of time and space these people. I find the best strategy is to agree to do the survey, but tell them you need to turn the kettle off first. Then put the phone down and go and take the dog for a walk. See how much time you can waste of theirs. My record is 5 minutes. I've also tried the survey. When they go through the whole spiel answer only with fruit. Answer to question 1 - "Orange". Answer to question 2 - "Pineapple", ... Make them waste time and not hit their KPIs.

Caller: ORC

If you want to be treated with respect don't be a tosser and call people for surveys. Expect the treatment you get if you continue to call people with ridiculous surveys which waste everyone's time. Get an honest job instead.

Caller: ORC international

If you call them back on this number, you get a message saying to go to their website, followed by a beep. After the beep, it's actually a voicemail recording service. When you go silent for a few seconds, it says that it's recorded your message.
Be a friend and play a few hours of music down your phone to them and fill up their damn mailbox please.

missed call. i think scam

telemarketing crap

Missed Call received: 7pm.
No message left.
Type of call: Marketing (apparently)
Company based in USA with numerous off shore offices around the world including Melbourne & Sydney Australia.
Can visit their website and contact to make complaints.
Suggest clicking & reading their *Privacy* tab, located on the bottom of their website page.
They also have a Facebook page! Perhaps complain on there too.

yes but as soon as we are polite they become like the super aggressive sales people. They don't take no for an answer!

What a waste of time & money to call someone & then hang up before it is answered OR is it a call centre that pays on dialled numbers...?!

Called on a Sunday morning, thanks for that...

Just received a call from this number saying they were with the Australian Government carrying out a survey. Red flag went up considering its a Saturday! No one in their right mind answers these type of questions over the phone. Beware of any Victorian prefixed phone nos calling you.Block the number. I am on the do not call register also.
