I just got a call from this number and the same thing happend. So after readying this I've signed the number up to several facsimile lists to see if the like getting unwanted calls!

perhaps they intend to leave a message and get you to retrieve it from your telco message service, which you would pay for.

I got a call from (02) 8094 5821 an hr ago same deal as everyone else I wish I knew what company was actually trying to contact me is there any way to actually find that out.

just got a call myself. i called the number back and it said "you have been contacted by a hosted contact service. you may be contacted again in the future. thank you. good bye."


umm. no thanks. dont call again if you dont have the decency to leave a message, or answer your phone

Do not give these people any personal details. Read on and take REVENGE!

I got a call from (02) 8094 5821 today. As soon as I answered with my name they hung up.

I called back and got the same message as others here - 'This is a hosted call centre ...' etc and then they terminate the call'.

Feel free to send them useless mail, call them, or send them useless faxes. Let's annoy them like they've been annoying us. Or even better, visit their offices like I plan to do soon and have some fun.

I have also lodged a complaint with the ACMA's Do Not Call Register here:

I'm sure if enough people complain ACMA will do something about it.

Happy hunting, fellow citizens...

They are "War dialing" basically a program to dial every number between a set of 2 numbers.e.g. from 0409 111 111 to 0409 999 999they are not answering because they are building a list of "live" numbers, then they will sell that list.Similar to spam email, if you reply with a "DON"T EMAIL ME THIS AGAIN!!!" you are doing them a favour by confirming a live email address.With phones it is harder to not answer as one could be expecting a call, best bet would be to add that number to your ignored numbers.
