No this is an invasion of our privacy. We didn't guve them out number voluntarily and often they ring people at home while trying to relax after a hard day's work. You have a right to privacy and peace. Often they ring back weeks later after politely asking them to take my number off their list

And when you do these surveys do you realise that they are actually adding to a database about you. You're helping them build information on you that they'll then sell.

Well why not leave a message saying so. ?

Received a call from this number at 7:40pm and it hung up as I answered.
Received a missed call from (03) 9977 5956 at 12:42pm two days ago with no message left.
Had the same thing happen at 5:43pm three days before that.

The Do Not Call register expires after a set time and you have to rejoin it. This has not been widely advertised.

Called me at 6.50 pm, didn't answer

Caller: Scam.

A Melbourne number doing a ‘council survey’ when I live in Perth? 😂😂 Blocked!

going by all the previous comments (thank you) blocked the caller

Called on a Sunday afternoon saying they were doing a survey for Moonee valley council.

Did not answer on a Sunday at 3.44pm, 2 minutes later they called my wife. Called back after eating these and it is a market research for councils. My question would be how these people get our numbers. If I have even given my number to our local council,it is not for the purpose of getting market research calls

Did not leave a message - tells you all you need to know - blocked

Caller: National Field Services

Said they were National Field Services doing A Survey on behalf Of Council. I declined to do survey and they hung up.

Called 8pm on Friday. Phone said scam so I did not answer.

Usually, call on Saturday's at 3 pm. on my phone. I am not taking calls from unknown numbers unless they left voice mails. Must be just telemarketing or a scam.

I did not answer the call. I checked online and found that there were six other complaints on this website. I'm glad I left the call. Thank you to the above posts,. It is very worthwhile. Keep it up!

The phone rang a few times and I didn’t manage to answer it so properly I was lucky going by the previous comments that probably was a scam I have now blocked number

Caller: scumbag

Scammers calling all over the country pretending to be other entities

Caller: Scam

Caller: I dont know

They said they called on behalf of my local council to assist with something. I said not interested and hung up. They called on a Sunday arvo at 4.30pm. I don't think its from the council.
