Online competition marketing

same keeps happening to me - block one day and the next day another number calls...

My mobile number is listed on the do not call register, so I do not know why they insist on calling me from a different number every day .

I went to 'Compare the Market' to look for car insurance and now I get non stop telemarketing calls from Sydney n Canberra numbers.. it's obvious they got my number from their database

claiming I entered into a competition.

Don't these people have anything better to do than ringing people constantly? Fill in one lousy survey and doomed for life!

Apparently I've entered an online competition which I haven't dunno how they have my number but callat least 4 times a day on different numbers.

I have had similar numbers calling the last 6 days. All the same - marketers claiming I have entered into a competition and now have to complete a survey...I've blocked all these numbers but everyday a new number calls...

Same here, except it was a $500 Coles voucher.
We need Government action to act on these scam artists.
The technology to block numbers and and have the facility to see who they are as caller/company name which is available, but not to us consumers. In other countries like USA, you can see the actual name of the caller or company and you can block it... In addition there is a facility where one can add a PIN number which will allow calls to pass through only to those who know it.
These telcos need to WAKE UP and implement this service!!!!!

please stop calling me ok because i am very angry right now ok bye

I keep blocking their numbers and they keep calling from different numbers! how do you stop them!!!!

Theyre at it again.....call block in view of comments

I did the same thing. Also, I specifically said on a survey that I did NOT want info on insurance and I did not want to support various charities. Guess where all the calls are coming from?

Keep getting these bastards calling frequently. Government needs to take affirmative action to allow us to block certain numbers AT THE EXCHANGE. Better still have a feature where one must enter a PIN number for incoming calls to pass the call through. There also needs to be a better caller ID system where it announces the owner of a phone line. USA phone exchanges have all of these features, why not Telstra??

I got a text message telling me I won a $500 Woolworths voucher. I rang Woolworths and they said it was a scam. Same deal, different number calling every day. Very annoying because I am expecting an important phone call from Sydney and I may accidentally block it now! How can we stop these people?? Anyone??

Number keeps calling my young autistic sons phone and when I ring them back and tell them not to call his number they ( with little English) don't seem to understand and they keep calling back.

can you stop f*cking call us it's f*cking annoying

Best thing is to have two mobile numbers.

Use on for friends and relatives and have a message bank

other for everything else and then you can have that phone turned off and never answer ...haha

I get them too. I foolishly fell for a Woolworth survey and now they don't stop. I am going to threaten Woolworth if they send me any more emails regarding free vouchers I will stop shopping with them. Hope they take note

Oh my ... it just doesn't stop! Foolishly tried to sign up as a mystery shopper and now I get endless nuisance calls. Block block block!
