They rang me trying to sell funeral insurance, so I asked is the the offer still available when I'm dead. They said it was available when deceased so I wasted more of his and my time then told him I wasn't interested

OTPL Seems to provide offshoring services (AU jobs), including call centres. Shantanu Dublish is the director there, his linkedin profile is below. http://au.linkedin.com/pub/shantanu-dublish/33/192/558?trk=pub-pbmap
ABN of OTPL 23 137 485 235 is linked to 3 business names, LETS GO GREEN, Life And Insurance, and Insurance R Us. All were established 2nd half of 2012. Prior to this, from the phone numbers provided in this post http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/(02) 9037 1309 Looked at (02) 8061 3800 and it seems to be telemarketing calls from MLC using same tactics. MLC/NAB may have hired this company back then to push telesales for their life insurance.
So I'd say they are hired by other companies to provide a 3rd party call centre in the past and maybe the present, as well as for their own insurance business.
Not sure what we can do in this case other than register our numbers in the government's Do Not Call Register and file a complaint if they do call. Online registration quick and easy. https://www.donotcall.gov.au/

I admire the comment of saying to these scammers "I have eternal life if you pay me for my time ,I can suggest how you can get eternal life also" hehehe They should be tared and feathered for nuisance calling! what happened to the infamous ACCC !? just a big run around to try having it stopped.

They hang up when I answer. They call from a few different numbers. I had recently changed to Telstra and it started happening. I have had this problem previously with Optus, found out that they had sold my details to external marketing companies and it was in the fine print on the contract that nobody reads. I would say the same has happened again!

I have finally mastered the art of getting rid of them... When he started his pitch on life insurance I told him I didn't need it as I have "Eternal life" and for a price I could provide him with same!! He hung up.

Starting to think our legal rights and personal details are being sold again. Remember companies buy our details from the electoral commission, TAFE and Universities.

Same as everyone else. I get a call every 4 days. The first time I spoke to someone trying to sell me funeral insurance. They are a call centre called OTPL and have a website. Now I answer and they just hang up! Put a complaint in on "do not call" website and the situation has only become worse. Now I just answer and leave the phone sitting on my desk until they hang up! Let them waste their time!! Whoever is paying them to do this is wasting their money!!

The "operator" claimed that he is selling life insurance and has an amazing offer that he could not tell me until he had another "operator" call me back. Well I am sure we can guess what type of "operation" this is- another scam to rip off the unsuspecting and gullible. Surely the authorities can stop fraudulent activity by now!

Forget the legal action. There are other ways of dealing with this type of 'gold-digging'scum.

These guys are absolute pests, they call my work number daily and as l receive calls from customers l need to answer unknown numbers, have started to add the different numbers they use into my contacts as "unwanted caller". I also got to speak to them on (03) 8652 1572 though they were rude and hung up, might be worth being a pest back to them on this number, give them a taste of their own medicine.
