Caller: Health Department

I had a missed call from this number. I have been awaiting by covid results. They sent me an SMS advising to contact Vic Health but its been several days and i cant leave the house. Worst medical practice. Better to do a home kit off ebay then to waste days.

Caller: Volvo Australia

I had a missed call from a telemarketer from Volvo Australia. They wanted to charge me $800 to replace 2 tyres. If i take it to another regular tyre shop it wont cost me even half this much. Dont recommend.

Caller: Nigerian Prince

The first time he called me he told me he was an American Solider working out of Africa on a rescue mission. As time went on we would Skype and it turned out it was a Nigerian Prince pretending to be in love with me. Weeks went by and he never returned my letters or the money I sent him on Western Union. Dont be a fool ladies if you meet them online you can’t be in love with someone who you don’t know.

Nigerian Based people. They call you and tell you that you owe back taxes and that you need to send money to an overseas bank account or send Western Union. If they could even speak proper english I would still not buy this!

Cant remember why I called them but was not happy with the Nigerian mans attitude. Bunch of clowns.

Caller: Online Department

I have paid out $37 for an extended warranty so if anything went wrong I could get it replaced or restored at no cost. At no time did they mention that the labour costs would need to be paid by me. I have called all day without even a call back. Have written this as my last attempt to get it replaced. Come next week I will send it to the dump yard.

Recorded message telling me there was suspicious activity on my bank account. Blocked!

Caller: Facebook Sales

Hi received a phone call from the Facebook Sales department sounded like they were based in India offering me $75 in Facebook ad credits for placing $1000 or more on my account. I don’t see the value in Facebook at the moment as the reach is nothing.

Caller: Abortion Clinic

I took my cat in for a check up on Thursday. Friday afternoon they aborted the babies in her belly. Liz Young told me not to worry about the vets fees but then out the blue she wants $155.00. Im not paying for something which I was told was included in my insurance policy with the RSPCA. They can keep the cat.

Caller: Telstra

Claimed to be a Telstra employee to tell me there may be some issues with my account dropping out in the next few days. Then wanted.

Caller: Local health directory

They insist I confirm my business details for a useless directory with mentioning the $1090+GST fee.

Caller: Yellow Pages / Sensis

As the person above mentions, they sign you up to have your details listed in the White Pages book (which still has yet to be delivered) and then a pushy sales man wanted me to upgrade to a Yellow Pages colour full page listing. He was really pushy told me that if I didn't take it then and there they would give it to one of my competitors. Extremely deceptive and pushy as mentioned above. I dont even think they print the books anymore so there is no need to spend up with them anymore.

Caller: John

You think its good customer service when you call me at 2am in the morning to remind me to turn my lights on. I have reasons to sleep in the dark. I can’t be bothered answering your phone calls when you dont even call your kids to see how they are. When you pay child support and make an effort I will consider returning your clothes!

Caller: Queen Street Barber Shop

This is the worst barber shop in Brisbane. I was unhappy with the haircut, i asked Barry who looked about 70 to redo it and was still unhappy. When I went to leave they wanted me to still pay for it. I told them I didn’t want to pay, but they wouldn’t let me leave till I did. If you want a decent cut then try a hair salon or somewhere with experienced stylist.

Caller: Mix 94.5

Worst radio station in Perth. I keep getting phone calls from their pushy sales. I am not going to keep spending money on radio if I cant even listen to it online. Wont be returning their calls.

Caller: Sales And Service

If your going to hire staff to work for your company then don’t allow them to smoke on the train. I keep seeing their staff at the Central Station smoking, I have approached security and then 2 of them got into an argument with my Mum. There is signs up everywhere. Learn to respect our country or go back to where you came from.

Caller: Billboards Australia

They put my billboard of the Hume Highway without my graphic designer giving the ok. I told them if 1,000,000 cars a day pass it and it has the wrong QR code on it where is the value. Waiting for a call back

I took my sister here to get a check up and they stole $100 out her purse while in the doctors office. When i complained they called security. Called Medicare told me wasnt there problem.

Caller: Yellow Pages

They are now using an Indian call centre. I could hardly understand a word the women was saying. Will no longer be advertising in White or Yellow Pages.

Caller: Local Business Directory

Same as the previous person - absolutely no mention of cost and very pushy for you to sign the documents. Very deceptive and pushy - steer clear!
