I've had so many calls from numbers starting with 048x xxx xxx that all relate to the Wine Group.
I've blocked maybe 8 numbers up to now, I don't drink, I'm not interested, but they just keep calling. It's infuriating!

Caller: Wine Group

James from the Wine Group...again!

I taken call in said wine group, i didnt need it. Then block it

Caller: Wine Group

Relentless harassment by the wine group for over a year!
I hope they go out of business & get monkey pox.

Same - just got a missed call from them - when will they stop!?!

Caller: This one "the wine club"

What people need to know is that all these calls are aided and abetted by telstra ! They have an endless bank of numbers that these people are given access to, so they just have to make the call then telstra under their agreement just allocates one of this number bank to that call and another call will have another number bank number allocated to it , this is why if you do happen to call back the connection just cuts out because you are calling a non existent number ; and telstra should be ashamed of themselves for that " Profit Over Privacy! " shame on you Telstra! The only other hang up calls you will get "are" actual numbers their the ones that let it ring just once or twice then end the call, the idea behind this is to get you to call them wondering what they wanted and by doing so you have just given them two things they can now overcome the " Do Not Call Register " as you have now phoned them and they are just returning your call ( perfectly legal ) and secondly you have just let them know that yours is an active number so they can now sell it off to a mailing list along with any details about you they have .
SO if you don't know the number and they don't leave messages "BLOCK" the lot of them and tell everyone you know to do the same.
Legitimate callers will generally always leave some form of message for you.
And to finish my rant!
Shamefully enough most of these calls come from the one company that collects for most of the well known charities and for every $1 you donate only about 3 cents to a maximum of 8 cents from that $1 goes to that actual charity the rest goes into the pockets of these annoying " Thieves "

Thanks for your time!

I'm so sick of this wine group!
I must have blocked 7 or 8 numbers.
I'd had a slight respite for about 4 days and I see an 048x xxx xxx number again!

Caller: The Wine Group

Identified themself as calling from the Wine Co and asked if I liked drinking Shiraz. Told them I didn’t drink.

Caller: James from the Wine Group

Insistent caller. Always tries selling me wine when I tell him I don't drink the stuff. Found out from another thread on here he's been fined thousands of dollars for incessant cold calling but to him it must have been just a slap on the wrist. I did look up and there is a website for The Wine Group. Not really sure if it's legit. Rather order from a website with buyer protection through PayPal than over phone with credit card anyway. Make sure I actually get what I pay for. Keep blocking this James guy and he just calls from a slightly different number each time. So annoying.

Caller: The wine group

Just keeps on calling from different number I just keep blocking them.

Hang up. No mes

That pest selling wine again. Every day. Different numbers each time. Well organised pest.

Caller: James from the Wine Group

Getting a call a day from numbers starting with 0485 834 XXX. If you block one the call just comes through from a slightly different number. Very annoying. No idea how they got my number or why they are trying to sell me wine
