This is a scam caller who hangs up to see if you answer, them immediately after a scam charity or some type of scam for either money or advertising will call you!

Any home call I get and the number is not in my contacts , I don't answer. I then wait a few minutes and dial 101. 99 per cent of the time there is not one left. I then google the number like this one. If it is a scam ,I go to recents and add the number as a home number with a christian name of their phone number and a surname in caps,SCAM Works evertime. It takes the guess work out of should you answer or not. I LOVE it !!!!!

So sick of these scammers calling, they seriously need to get a life, 2 in 2 days we've had, I have a medical condition that makes me weak & sometimes I sleep during the day and yesterday as I was drifting off to sleep the one using this number called. so much for a silent number & the DNC can't do anything as the numbers are routed from SE Asia to Aussie numbers to make them look Legit, I post these numbers on the AFP & Scamwatch as well as they go after these ones.

had (02) 8823 3009 call my work and i answered the phone with our business usual and he started on his speel with the red cross something something organization about helping the homeless and less fortunate and so forth. i didnt get to speak at all till he was finished his speel and wanted to send raffel tickets out to our area and when he finished as soon i said we were a nation wide business he had to go through head office he hung up immediately. no questions asked i didnt even get to finish my sentence. i "called back" the number mainly so i could see what the number was it said it wasnt connected or something. the bloke was british also

These callers don't want to hear that you already give to charity organisations. They'd drag the last dollar out of your wallet if they could. Make that $100. They wouldn't be interested in one dollar.

Calls from this or similar numbers are from scamers. They hang up before you answer and count on you calling back thereby circumnavigate-ting cold call laws......

Had the same number (88233009) call about five minutes ago. Missed the call, rang back. "The number you called is from an Australian charity".
Sounded like an OLD lady, she seemed to be from the "Australian Lamington Society", lolol.
These charities suck like hoover vacs.
They can call us ----- yet we can't respond by calling. Saved them in my fone, when it calls again, i'll be F**N given it to em - after i get their charity of course.
I already give to charities (Canteen, Salvo's), maybe thats where they got my number. Who cares, don't like the way they do it.

this number has been calling me every half an hour while at work called them back to get an answering machine from an Austrlian Charatie
a lady phoned from the number 0288233096
A lady called from the number (02) 8823 3096 and was asking for my mum (they had her first name and last name) said the last name incorrectly and l said you mean....... and then l said sorry shes out at the moment, whos calling? then they hanged up on!!! so l rang back the number about 6 times and it says the phone is disconnected...
so l tried all four numbers from the first post. The fird one answered with a machine.
machine answered and it said "sorry to have missed your call. Our call was about fundraising for Austrlian popular charaties,"

Answered call and it hangs up. Called the number and it's disconnected. It's a spammer that is now added to my phone's blacklist and also to this site. If they call again my smart phone will still answer it and hang up so they are charged for the call. Have a nice day spammer! LOL!
