Charity caller

(07) 5657 9011
I am registered on the "DO NOT CALL" register.

I have received nightly calls from this phone number around dinner time. Before they speak I tell them I do not want anymore calls from them and take me off their call list. I receive no response.

I found who this phone number is registered to, It is Apple Marketing Group Pty Ltd.

Apple Marketing Group Pty Ltd is employed by registered charities to assist their fundraising efforts, this includes contacting donors both new and existing via telephone.

Calls from Australian Charities, or organisations calling on behalf of charities (such as Apple Marketing Group Pty Ltd) are not considered to be telemarketing calls, as outlined in the Do Not Call Register Act 2006.

Apple's business practice complies with government legislation, including:

Telemarketing and Research Calls Industry Standard 2007

Do Not Call Register Act 2006

If you are registered on the ACMA Do Not Call Register, and you do not wish to receive calls from Apple Marketing Group on behalf of registered charities, you may contact us to have your number added to the Apple Marketing Group Do Not Call Register.

Download their form and email this to dnc @ applemarketing.com.au. It may take up to 30 days for the update to take effect.

For more information you can visit the Do Not Call Register website at the Apple Marketing Group Pty Ltd

I have completed my form and emailed it to them.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Caller ID gave this number. Caller did not identify which "Charity" they were calling on behalf of. When I said we are on the Do Not Call Register the caller (laughing) informed me that Charities and the call centres they use are exempt from the Do Not Call Register ... WTF is the point of the DNC Register then?

No one answered me. Damned nuisance when we are on the DNC register.

Apple marketing, parasites skimming proceeds on behalf of charities. I have them diverted to a scammer answering service, they are free to chat to it as long as they like.

Same for me, though at lunch time

I got this hangup call from (07) 5657 9011 after unsubscribing from Australian Business Loans - ausbusinessloans.com.au | 1300 752 188 | apply @ ausbusinessloans.com.au - verifiing a real number perhaps.

Caller: a delay then some tentative little voice so I hung up

We too are on the Do Not Call register AND our number is UNLISTED.
I bet the Telcos could already help us to block numbers on landlines given it's all digital now on the NBN. How hard can it be?! Maybe we need to pressure them.

I am so over being harassed by charities that I already support, asking for more money. The money they waste on employing these tactics and printed matter that is unsolicited, could be channeled directly to the said charity. Tempted to withdraw my support from the offenders.

They never leave a message they are wasting their time . And they are a nuisance to the general public out there!

Caller: (07) 5657 9011

Scam scam Scam they keep on calling and never say hello or ask about the scam they want us to register for... its an auto call system they suck and should be banned, locked out never be able to call anyone again!

Repeated calls late in afternoon. I don't pick up as I have a special ring for Scam callers plus my telco picked it up as Scam.

Caller: telemarketer

am also on the do not call reigster but i think calls increase rather than decrease on it !!!
charity - just hang up

Buy Telstra Guardian telephone---worth every cent 100% call screening!!
I have no affiliation with any provider

rang here a few times around midday told them to f of left the phone of the hook to get them charged for the long connected call i hope

I get this every day. So i now answer with f*ck off leave us alone.

Caller: Charity collecting by Apple Marketing

Apple Marketing contracted to collect for charities. Immune to Do Not Call register.
Block their phone number and get a caller tone on your mobile. Caller Tones trick the autodialler computer into thinking it reached a machine so hangs up.

Another day another number. Really thinking of ditching home phone.

Idiots

Caller: Dead Sh*t

Another useless low life there a wasted life and taking up space that some who has a purpose in could use
