My phone rang today at 1305 hrs and as i was nearby, I immediately answered only to discover that I had been placed on hold,with moronic recorded message from some guy with an abysmal American accent.His message told me that "'we' know how important your time is and although there might be a short delay in answering your call, it is very important to us and we want to speak with you personally. We will be with you briefly". This was followed almost immediately by another recorded message this time from a female with an equally abysmal American accent. She told me a different but equally moronic and insulting message and assured me that all of their customers receive the same personal service and 'my call' would be answered shortly. I was doing other things so I had the phone on speaker because i was intrigued to find out what organization could be so incompetent in their search for new customers. The 2 recorded messages were replayed constantly with a pause of about 8 seconds between each. This went on for 25 minutes until young sounding man came on the phone to talk to me. He had an extremely heavy accent and I had to get him to spell out all the words that he spoke to me. By and large I did all the talking and asked him a sequence of questions. What was the company name? A. Astron. Where was the company? A.1/3 Victoria Ave Chatswood (Sydney). What was the company involved in? A. Telecommunications. I then told him what had happened with the call and that I could noty believe that any company could attempt to conduct its business in such an incompetent (and probably unlawful) manner. I told him that I would make a formal complaint and intended to take up the matter with the appropriate authorities. He hung up.

Tony you're a bloody beauty! I will be harrasing that number as much as they do me... idiots!

they are not a scam I use them for my nbn connection they are pretty cheap actually.

Called back using reverse look-up - thanks guys for having the list of complaints...
Here's one more...
The number was answered by a foreign sounding female and she said I must have been called by their telemarketing group.
I wish they would understand some people sleep in the day and have answering machines for this purpose. Anyway now that I know - they will never be able to get a sale out of me.
The number has been blocked from my phone...
Good day to all... Debbie

I have been getting calls from these people 2 & 3 times a day for more than a month. I resent having to have a customer wait while I answer a call and then they hang up.
On the occassions when they do answer they will not listen when told I do not wish to deal with them. Today I actually hung up on them.

I have been getting calls from this number several times a day for the last week. I never answer (thank you, CND) but it is very irritating.

These guys are harrasing me, they wont give me a break, they keep on calling and never stop

keep getting these calls on my fax machine, of course the fax always picks up straight away and they get the horrible noise in their ear....bad luck for them!

I've been getting calls from this number for the past few weeks, maybe 1-3 times every 2-3 days. It's getting annoying. I haven't shouted at them yet because I'd prefer to be alone when I am (don't want my folks hearing) but I will give them an ear full once I can.

got a call from this number just now...i asked 'who is this' no reply i asked again 'who is this', a man from the sounds of it replied 'hi' in what sounded like an indian accent i asked finally 'who is this' no reply he hung up almost instantly after i last spoke

i get calls regularly from this number - is there some way I can stop this?

I received another call today which i answered. I waited for the phone to actually connect (as machine dial) and a foreign accent in a call centre (you could hear others talking). Told the guy to stop F?#king calling me, I am on the do not call register and I was sick of receiving their phone calls and I know what you want from the internet (this site). His reply "thankyou" and hung up! All in all he took it well.

Have had several calls in England over the past week from this number 0061-0282069888.  After a recorded 'goodbye' they hangs up.  Why do they bother us?
