Caller: Epworth Hospital Foundation Melbourne

Beware this lot who prey on Epworth patients looking for donations. Even though you fill in all your Epworth patient paperwork opting out of this crass fundraising somehow that gets ignored (and the box on your profile unticked), and your private details still go to this foundation and they make unsolicited calls. Epworth are unethical for asking patients to opt out of being harassed by fundraising, and even worse for ignoring it when you do.

Keeps calling without leaving a message. I guess it's spam

Caller: Epworth

Epworth hospital begging for charitable donations. Seems you get on this call list just by having been a patient there. I think I paid them enough already!!

Had multiple calls from this number in the last 2-3 days, and then intermittently over the last year or so. I never answer because there is never a voicemail left. If hey really needed to speak to me, or it is a legitimate call for me, they would leave a message. So I’m treating it as a scam or telemarketing.

Same as above, if a message isn’t left I don’t call back

Caller: Claimed to be from Epworth

I had the same call today as well it saying from epworth and asking for donation and she was very pushy!!

3 calls in one day. No messages left. Phone flagged it as spam so I didn't answer.

Caller: 86170448

I've missed a couple of these calls, I too was a patient at the Epworth so I figure the general consensus is the its spam. I will block this.

Caller: Epworth

Paid enough out of pocket over past few years. My donation to them is the exorbitant parking charges. Called me twice today but I don’t pickup and they don’t leave a message.

Similar to other comments here. I've recently had procedures at Epworth, and in the last few days I have had multiple missed calls from this number. No message has ever been left on my voicemail.

Caller: Some fundraising

Some fundraiser. I hung up before hearing much more. I had surgery at Epworth recently, which is consistent with other reports.

Called me twice today, phone flagged it as spam so I didn't answer, no voicemail left. I was a patient at the Epworth in June so I assume it's them calling for donations going by the below comments.

I’m not answering this number or calling back as they ring again but don’t ever leave a message. I have been a patient at Epworth this year so I expect it’s them per other reports on this page. Annoying.

spam call

it is a spam

Keep ringing. No voicemail left, hence assumed scam call and blocked.

They called me twice today afternoon, no message left. After read of the reviews , will block the number.

Called at 1.15pm today - nobody there. Just a silent call and then hangs up.

Caller: Unknown

Constant calls different times of the day, but leaves no message
