This number rings me all the time, never leaves a message and is very annoying....I am on the DO CALL register...can I stop this person from ringing me?

Its Nab Market Research

Get this number calling all the time. Dodgy number for me as I have dealings with a VIC number. They can always leave a msg but never do. Ignore them.

It' not NAB, it' a scam!
I rang NAB after being called and they said the name given me was not one of their employees. They ask increasingly more revealing questions phishing for personal details for later frauds.

NAB.. i hate them

I just tell them I'll get the home owner - then I put the phone down on the table. I couldn't tell you how long they sit there waiting until they hang up? I'd live to know. What I do know is when I come back to the phone after 20 odd minutes - there's never anyone there..!

I got a call from this number eithet, but my English is not good enough to understand what they were talking on the phone. They hung up the phone aftet taljing a few words with me. I think they won't ring me again, haha~

I wish these people would stop ringing my number. If you know me or if it is an emergency, you will leave a message so I know what the call is about. Other than that it is harrassment.

Rob, you obviously don't get too many of these calls to call others wingers. Put yourself in their places or mine for example with 22 (03),
9 (07), 4 (02) a mess of overseas as well as all the private or blocked numbers. they don't bother me anymore, because they're identified on the display & voice IDs as who or what they are.
Your problem is apathy.

seriously you guys are whingers
just someone doing a survey
if you just bothered to answer and said could you please not call im sure they would oblige

I am getting call from this number as well
I dont want them!

I constantly receive phone calls, noone there, what can I do to stop this person? Complaint, complaint!

Scott is right to some degree about the Do Not Call register - it's definitely handy! - but keep in mind the DNC Register does only apply to sales calls, NOT market research calls (data collections/surveys etc) or fundraising calls (not-for-profit/asking for donations etc). I've found that all I needed to do was ask that they remove my number, and any other contact info they may have for me, from their database so you don't get called back by them. It worked for me - I called up NAB and verified it was done, and it was.

May 2012 they are still at it with the premptive dialer that drops out after a few rings.

This is SOOOO annoying! I've actually spoken to them once and demanded they remove my name from the list - I was told it WAS, only to receive another two missed calls! And again, the call rang maybe three or four times and they hung up!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

This number calls me at odd times but nobody answers when I pick up the phone. Very annoying. May the fleas of a thousand camels attack you every time you call someone!

they phoned me on saturday 14th may 2011. asked me general questions about how i reated the bank with customer service etc.

This number keeps calling me day and night and hangs up when i answer, getting really annoying

please stop call my mobile

Obviously NAB as pointed out here, no doubt in response to a WRITTEN complaint I made & which requested a WRITTEN explanation of why they F---d up.    To this day I have received NO response.They know NOT to telephone me - WHY will these arseholes not take any notice?Life has enough hassles & crap on a daily basis without these arrogant dorks adding to it by ignoring an individual's requests for privacy.Anything they needed to say was requested in WRITING as their word is worth S**T!

It is NAB.
I have so many missed calls from this research/survey thing.
I have asked so many times to not be contacted, unfortunately I am a customer so I cannot be taken off this list.
Since August, I have received approx. 5 calls to the fortnight.
I have spoken to them once, so I am unsure why they would still be calling me now, in December.

Bluey. You obviously have no clue as to how an outbound call centre works. Here's a rough guide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_centre

Remember, these people are.. well, people. No one likes an occasionally abusive job but sometimes people have to do them in order to achieve something better for themselves.

Wikipedia defines market research:
"Market research is for discovering what people want, need, or believe", or how they feel. That is what the people behind this number are doing.

Market research is an old business method. It is likely to stay.

At the end of the day, if you don't want to do it, guess what! YOU DON'T HAVE TO!!! Just say one of the following options conveniently numbered 1 to 10:

1. No
2. No thank you
3. I would not like to participate
4. I do not want to continue
5. No thanks
6. Nah, nah thanks
7. No, and please take me off your list ..........(Crucial to say that if you don't want to be called again.)
8. No thanks
9. No thanks
10. No thanks

and remember:

IT'S ONLY AN PHONE CALL, NOT THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.

And as for you, Miss/Mr 'prank call' ((clever name by the way, I see what you did there, I bet you're very smart) how old are you now, almost in big school?), a simple piece of advice:

Be kind unto others, and they will be kind unto you.

This little f***ot called me today in the afternoon too... I told him to f*** off and now if he calls me again ill call the f***ing cops

OK, now everyone!  All you need to do is tell them "take me off the list for any future research."  If you do this then they will. If you say "I don't want to do the survey" that means you will not be contacted for that particular project. That is why you would have received calls in August and in December. If you say "F**K off" that basically doesn't say that you don't want to be contacted for another survey ESPECIALLY if you haven't even given a name. There may be someone in the household who actually does want their opinion to count.

THEY'RE NOT TELEMARKETERS. YOU LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SERVICE FROM NAB AND SAY NO ONE LISTENS TO YOU, YET WHEN SOMEONE IS ON THE PHONE AND READY TO TAKE YOUR FEEDBACK YOU TELL THEM TO F**CK OFF. Go figure
