I have received a few calls from this number and everytime I have answered the call they have hung up on me, so today I decided to call the number back and I heard a recorded message saying something about OnePath life insurance. I will now be adding my number to the Do Not Call Register

They've started to call and hang up on me this week ... grrrr....

Not

They're still hammering away at my wife's phone, will tell ANZ I'll shift my loans elsewhere if they don't piss off.

More telemarketers probably not even really in this country.
This is pathetic and ridiculous
more so in this case I am already with the ANZ.
so I already get mail with their offers.
I think I will make a call to the bank as well as other means to get off their call list.

It's ANz

Today I received I call from (02) 8217 8051, which I heard ringing in my mobile. As it tooks some seconds for me to answer it, when I select the Answer button, I did notice that instead of someone being responding me, the call back in some way has been activated to 'call out mode' ring back to their number, as I could hear the ringing on the other side, as if I have done the call in the first place.
ON the screen of my mobile it shows both calls the one that came in from (02) 8217 8051 and the one that went out to (02) 8217 8051, WITHOUT ANY IMPUT OR ACTION FROM MY PART!
Aware that it was to connect me I canceled the call before someone had responded. It is a swindling and malicious way to take money from people by making call charges on behalf of others.
I searched on the internet about this number and lot but lot of people has suffered same experience without a way on how to STOP it.
I did researched the number in the internet, am surprisingly this number has been reported hundreds of time on various sites of doing such action. As it looks NOBODY has yet taken them down and are doing swindle business as usual at expenses of people's money.
I reported to both the QLD Ombudsman & Optus Complains. IF some one has three calls registered from this number, that is enough for the Service Provider to lodge a legal complain and report to Police

ok i am sufficiently SICK & FED UP of these stupid monkeys

been averaging 2-3 missed calls from this number (02) 8217 8051 daily for past fortnight

tried this today when phone was in hand when it rang...

1, answer & listen, don't say anything... you're "in queue" anyway

2, wait for a couple of clicks... till the autodialler connects your call to a human

3, when human says first word just YELL INTO YOUR PHONE LOUD whatever you wish to tell them

4, JUST KEEP YELLING for 5-10s then hangup.

no more Mr Nice Guy, i'm now out to get even + Interest!
(since you guys say they're bank related hey?)

You disturb my peace, you deserve your lot.

Caller: (02) 8217 8051
Call Type: Telemarketer


btw just checked my Call History on the phone, counted SEVEN (7) calls
from (02) 8217 8051 since Tuesday. Heck its not even COB Thursday now!

GRRRR!!!

now i'm even angrier... maybe should call them back & YELL AT THEM SOME MORE!!

Pretty much the same deal with me. Got a few missed calls from them, when i call back rings a few times, then some numbing sound before the line dies.

isnt there some law against these kind of calls.

lolno its not sneaky... its the way the System is structured. Making it seem like people are out to get you.It does not record any time of day or anything about you!If its an answering machine, they try again later in the day like normal people.Stopping telemarketing calls will stop a cash flow which will effect produce in economy. Which may decrease your portfolio of stocks?The company YOU work for I can BET has a telecommunications department in which case they are promoting the S**T your company is producing or offering, which puts you in the position you are. Sometimes if you listen to these offers, you will find that it is possibly hell cheaper and far more easier to obtain than other policies out there. And there are the odd few that wish we had called A Week earlier, as they would of had $525 000 of assistance in there pocket for their family because of a unexpected and random family death. I proudly represent Ing and Anz, Dan! and yes it could have been me! and yes were in NSW!

its ANZ, have warned them about the telephone system, it has an computerised autodial system that has a delay between when you answer and they connect... a considerable delay, and if they continue to call me i will be contacting the Telecommunications OMB as well as Banking OMB.  I have selected no marketing but they contuniue to call

Had a call from this number on my mobile. Luckily I found this forum and got to know it came from ING/ANZ. Well, I had a pretty bad experience with this telemarketers and now going to phone up 1300 792 958 to place my mobile number on "Do not Call Register" list.
