How many f*cking numbers do these people HAVE? I keep blocking them, but alas...

Always calling so this time I answered and said in a devil voice “ I want to sell you chocolate balls and magic fountains”. They hung up. So rude 😂

Sounded like a call centre in the background. bloke claimed he couldnt hear me and kept saying "hello"

Caller: Client benefit services

Caller with Indian accent.

Received several calls from them asking if I had personal insurance.

Really wished they would stop calling. Number is now blocked.

Says nothing and just ends call

Got a call from a Asian sounding woman trying to sell me funeral insurance (which would be unnecessary, because i would be dead!
I asked how she obtained my number and she told me that Australian National Data Services provided them with it.
I call bullsh*t on that!
When i find out i will reciprocate accordingly, nice try c*nts.

SCAM

Filled out survey from Coles and receiving calls ever since. I've never answered and they never leave a message. Calling me 3 times a day from different numbers last week. I was also getting SMS from "Frank Brown" and "Michael P" saying I've won a prize and have a URL to click on which leads to a survey or another website for you to enter bank account details.
Now calling once a day from a different number everyday.

Some people have filled out surveys (for gift voucher or to be a mystery shopper) from Woolworths, Aldi, Jetstar, Virgin and have started receiving these calls also. These scams are on all the websites we use so beware!

Don't answer.
Some people are getting calls and emails.
People are saying that they want a recording of you saying YES so that they can use it for other purposes. Once they've heard you say YES they end the call.
Some people are saying that the caller is selling funeral/life/pet insurance or advising that they've won a competition or in the draw for $250 000 or an iphone.

Whether they are selling something, are a scam or want a recording of your voice, they are checking if your number is active and will keep calling if you keep answering.

One complainant has said that it may be an automated system that makes the calls and if you answer the call, the system puts your call through to a telemarketer. If you answer and don't say anything the system will hang up.

Do not call register doesn't work when they are calling from overseas. Apparently you can buy these Australian area code numbers online to route calls through.

Some people are saying you can block they're numbers by emailing consumercare @ brandsofchoice.com.au
but I don't want to risk sending an email and they realise it's active and they reply with spam or keep calling.

I've never answered and they never leave a message.

SCAMMMMM

Scam

Caller: Clients Benefits Service

(02) 9188 8714 said they are a company called "Clients benefits service. Sounds like a total scam.

Life insurance. Calling for quality and coaching. When i said im not interested in getting contacted in the next few days, he simply hanged up. That’s some quality calling ethics.

Caller: Not sure what the company call themselves, not Australian accent

Rang them back on a land line and selling funeral insurance

Caller: Call centre representing Freedom Insurance

This call centre has phoned me 6 times today. I have asked twice to be put on the " Do Not Call List ", then an hour and a half later I get another call. They are trying to sell appointments for a consultant to call you to talk about funeral insurance. Some of the reviews on the web about Freedom Insurance are not very comforting.

If we want to stop this annoying type of marketing we need to never buy any product from a telemarketer.

Caller: (02) 9188 8714

Call from about 30 different numbers. I called back and gave them what for. If you have issues, register your number here ---> https://www.donotcall.gov.au/consumers/register-your-numbers/

its the do not call register

Call was about funeral insurance

How many phucking numbers do these people have? Indian voice saying is from Client services. If you receive these type of calls it means that your number has been sold to a database. This should be illegal to do that. No rights in Australia anymore.

Caller: Finance Insurance

Scamming RUDE man with heavy Indian accent claiming my email address was located online around 5 months ago. When I told him I wasn’t interested, he responded hastily, rudely and started raising his voice. I responded in the same tone then hung up. Multiple calls various numbers. They just won’t quit!!!!

Indian Guy, couldn't understand a word but I'm pretty sure it was a scam like many others. Went straight to Bloke List, like many others.

I had to put my details into channel 9 or 10 to sign up with watching on line and then the calls started coming. This has happened before.

Unknown. I did not answer

asking for Bradley (im not brad) then i asked how they got this number and they ended the call
