I've received several call from (02) 9036 2943. It rings just twice then goes to Missed Call. On callback, there's a message, but the company name is unintelligble. My phone numbers are listed on Do Not Call. I'd like to know how to stop these pests.

They are a fundraising company. I have saved them in myphone as dont answer :)

They call me too - they only let the phone ring once or twice and then hang up! No ability to speak to someone if you call the number back, no voice mail either AND it costs money to ring their interstate number - for nothing!!!

EXTREMELY RUDE - Now I want them to ring back so I can tell them what I think, won't give them a cent and will contact the charity they represent to complain. Grrrrr...

I hate these types of annoying phone calls.

Happening to me

This call was from a charity who said we had previously donated to the Save the Children foundation. Of course - they had to call us, did not have a return number (even though it showed up on my phone) and only did outbound calls. uh huh....

Got two missed calls in the past two days from this number, at the exact same time on the afternoon. I screen my calls and only answer numbers I know, so they will never get a hold of me.

Following research, it seems this number comes from 2Evolve, who I believe cold call from a database purchased from various charities.

I would say they got my number from the Fred Hollows Foundation, which I did not donate online, but through those people that tackle you at shopping centres.

I have now cancelled my monthly donation, due to this and plan not to send money to any other charity, unless I can do it anonymously.

I suggest to everyone having this issue to never give your actual number to charties, surveys etc. I've learnt my lesson.
