Not true. My area code is 08 and all our new numbers start with 6...

political polling

Did not leave a msg. Terrible we have to check numbers before we answer them.

Caller: ‭(08) 6333 1004‬

I called back after looking it up and not finding enough to satisfy that is wasn’t perhaps just a business... An answering machine says it is “Community Engagements: provider of automated research surveys that complies with the 2006 “Do Not Call Act” and 2007 “Telecommunications industry standards”

any number beginning with 086 is likely to have been generated from China

Caller: Political

Automated caller, time wasting pest.

regretably there is a By-election in WA specifically the darling range electorate district as such I have been bombared by this number 10 times in past 2 week not to mention the other pre-recorded message from the premier. Oddly enough another party (CDP) has also been ringing me but they are listed by whate pages when they do ring - but also blocked

Answered, was a recorded political thing, hung up and blocked immediately.

No its not

just continues to call . go away

They called again even though I have rung back and left a message on their automated service requesting they do not call my number again. Pesty pests.

Caller: Political junk

Annoying pests and they really are not serving any purpose calling so many times - makes me not want to vote!!!!

Annoying pests

Political bombardment - they have somehow bypassed Apple's call block system.

Caller: Political Survey for the Labor Party

Requesting information about voting intention for the upcoming by-election.

Annoying caller, automated.

This number has tried to call me 3 times in the past week. Twice in the past 2 days. Stopped by Telstra Call Guardian each time. They didn't want to say their name then press # (and robo diallers can't do that anyway).

6 doesn't mean it's a Skype call. The 6 prefix came into service when the 9s were exhausted...

Caller: robocall

automated political survey, do not call list doesn't cover political parties unfortunately

it could be coming from anywhere in the world...... just because it shows (08) as an area code means nothing
