OMFG!!!!
I have been receiving calls from these jokers for a couple of weeks now.
Every time I answer, there is no one there and then they just hang up.
I've tried ignoring it, answering the calls, yelling down the phone, nothing seems to make them stop calling!!!!
I finally decided today to start recording a log of how many times they call. Today alone, 6 calls. How the hell am I supposed to run a business when I spend half of my day answering or trying to ignore these calls.
I've already registered my home/work land line and both mobile numbers with the 'Do Not Call Register' years ago and I've just done it again today to make sure. Hopefully it will stop all the unwanted calls.
Who the hell do we report them too? Our phone service provider? The ACMA? The Police?
OVER IT... JUST QUIETLY!!!!
Has any one had any luck in stopping these jokers?

Finally figured out who these clown's are.
They contacted us yet again this morning and a staff member answered the call with a plain "hello".
It was after I spoke to the female that I found out they are trying to sell solar and pushed very heavily the fact of getting the Government rebate of thousand's of dollars.
Told her we lease all our premises and we have our own generator.
She said thanks and hung up.

Recieved a few calls from the above number, when you answer it - it just goes dead; ie they hang up. Having a landline with caller display helps to stop this crap, but as a buisness we answer all calls.

ASIO are tracking this one as a possible covert annoyance call to infuriate the general public.

Sample complaints we have found for (02) 8061 8280

I have not answered any times they call, but there is deff something fishy going on. I have placed an ad with Ebay in the last month, and my number is only a few months old so it would not be on any leads databases.

Same here: They keep calling me a few times per day. Calling back - number unknown. Where can we address this issue? What official organization in Australia can clearly investigate and act to stop this from happening? Looks like they are up to somthing, but is not clear what... Any idea what we can do about this?
Another clear thing is that they are collecting and calling the numbers published on various sites by people selling stuff (like ebay and gumtree)...

I'd been getting calls for about a week, same problem as everyone else, no one there, and disconnected when I call back.
This time, I answered and got a guy asking me about a desk I had posted on the Trading Post website. He offered to transfer the ad to his site for free, to increase my chance of selling it. I can't remember the name of the site he is from tho.

had about 8 calls from this number, no one is ever there , so now when i see this number i just hang up
Annoyed
They've been calling me non-stop every day between 9:30 and 10:40. Finally connected after so many times of answering and them hanging up. They are apparently a site called "binco.com.au" that opened on Monday, allegedly. Like with Te-dawg they said they were a new job advertising site and offered to put my ads on for free (after asking if i advertised online and then sounding surprised that I do). If you search for the site it doesn't come up.
The girl was mumbling and very nervous and couldn't give me straight answers to anything. I gave my email and she said she would email. Nothing yet. She also asked for my postcode to which I gave the generic Sydney postcode.
Assume they want to get your personal details under the guise of advertising for you and then rip you off.

Hi, I think it is more than fishing for valid phone no's. for telemarketing as they keep calling even after you answer and keep hanging up. It just keeps going on and on.
