I am very, very sick of this. This was another call from someone who hung up as soon as I picked up the phone (intending only to listen, not to speak - I normally ignore calls from unknown numbers). What is the point of just making someone's phone ring?

I rang this number back after making my phone number private - message "We don't have an agent to help you at this time, but we will ring you again."
Asian female voice.

These pests keep phoning me. What do we have to do to stop this harassment?

Caller: Fake charity

3 minutes after I got a silent call from (03) 9923 7776, this number (03) 9961 0267 rings me and it's a charity asking for donations for Fred Hollows. How can that be? Fred died years ago.

Caller: (03) 9961 0267

Takes a bit for the voice to come through, then its a caller representing charities in Aust. they say, no proof tho. I got off phone before finding out.

Two calls today (this number and another starting with 03), didn't answer. Received a 'missed call' SMS each time that spoofed my mobile provider and prompted me to call a 'free service' number. Google Messages alerted me that this is spam, potentially trying to impersonate my mobile service. Beware!

Hung up on answer again. Another from the 03 9961 series.

How many times do you need to block a number, grrrrrrr. So frustrating, I block and block and Im still being harrassed.

Yet another call from a 03 9961 number. Previous ones have been linked to a scam charity. I'm getting 2-3 calls a day from these numbers. I don't even answer interstate call numbers any more.

Caller: said something about kindness foundation

Hard to understand but obviously a scam
