This number called many times (12-15). They pretended to be OPTUS and asked for personal information. They are probably part of an identity theft ring.

Not so much a comment about this number, but telemarketers in general.
If they are not from this country and you don't want them to call back, don't simply hang up or put your number on the do not call register, be EXTREMELY racist. It works for me.
Personally, I don't care where someone is from or what they believe, but I use racism ALL THE TIME to upset these mongrels.
Only problem is, I enjoy doing it, but they don't call back, so I gotta wait for a new call centre to open up to do a new round.

I have been getting calls from this no. but told them that it's the wrong name & number, so we will see if I get them again. it's now the 5th day in a row.

who are these people? ive had 5 missed calls from them and they leave a voicemail but with nothing said and when i ring back its an automated message

Hi everyone, I'm from france, and this is a pretty common hoax in my country. Companies randomly ring people's mobile knowing that they will probably call them back thanks to call ID. If people pick up, then thay say some random lies about them being a branch of one big company blablabla. But their numbers are usually the kind of number where you pay for the call + 33 cents or whatever, so if you call back, even to say F**** off, they earn a little money. So you must never call them back. If you pick up or call back, it means that your number is a valid one, as they probably generates the number with computers, they never know if it actually exists.

Hope that helps. I got called by this number today, first thing : google the unknown number and check for recent hoax :)

Bob.

Yea, i ran out of optus prepaid credit. Now i wonder if they are calling and leaving voicemail msgs just to entice me to credit my phone to check the voice msgs. happened before, no voice msgs were actually left. Just blanks. Dont get lured, might be money making technique.

I received a call from this number at 11:57am today. Wouldn't have a clue who it was as I ignore unknown numbers but I suspect a spammer as I have been getting spam calls from a 02 number recently and now I hear this is related to Optus as well...I just registered on www.donotcall.gov.au and I advise that everyone does the same :)

Her age should between 40- 55. That's all I can analyse so far.

Got a Call from this number.It's was someone representing Optus.When I asked him where he got my number from he said it was from Optus records which I know is BS as he called me on my Business Skype number.Optus has never had it, my family doesn't even have it. Only my customers have it.So either Optus is data mining or random dialling.Either way if Optus is part of the ADMA then they're going to be in trouble otherwise it's off to the TIO.

this number keeps calling and not leaving a message, they call everyday around the same time. its starting to get annoying
