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

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!!

Twice this week this number has called, my call blocker app does a great job of instantly hanging up the call. Though I have been thinking to play around with them and answer their question using a soundboard of Dr Phil, hmmmmmmm could be fun :D

Just received a call from this number, but never answer a number I don't recognise, and always check the number on the net to see if it is important for me to call them back.The automatic dialler was picked up by my message bank and I got some poor guy saying hello to noone on my messages.Thank goodness for this site! Its good to know who is calling and not to answer.

Had several calls from this number in the past week - called back to get answering service from ING. Absolutely not interested in taking any form of telemarking calls so have submitted request to join 'don't call me' list.
A bit of a turn-off re. ever doing business with ING.

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.

Be very careful with these people, I told them i was sick of them ringing me about life insurance. I hung up on them. That night they decided to set their fax machine to ring my number every 2 hours from about 2 am in the morning. Still trying to stop it.
