got two missed calls. blocked the number.

My new Samsung S9 told me it was a spam number, so disconnected the call. How cool is that. Googled it to verify where the number was from.

I used an unlisted landline to call back, Jordan from Client Benefit Services is here to help; I hung up on him.

Caller: Client Benefits Services...

Calling to sell funeral insurance - block number.

SCAM call.
Asian sounding person with heavy accent making her hard to understand, wanting to sell insurance.

Something has to be done about these phone calls. There must be a way to totally block them out from your landlines and mobiles. Now we are even getting emails climbing through. What ever happened to our privacy????

Caller: Client Benefit Services

tried to make me say yes multiple times I complaint to the do not call register! blocked the caller.

Caller: Not sure

They have multiple numbers and just keep calling multiple times a day.

Hung up on me as soon as I answered with hello

Caller: Michael

Client Benefit Services - pronounced my name wrong, asked if it was me I said no, that's not how you say my name, then proceeded to tell me where he was from Client Benefit Services which I had him reapeat three times, asked how my day was I replied sh*t, then he hung up, I will never respond YES to any telemarketer

Benefits???

HAHA love it!

Selling insurance. Asking for appointment.

nuisances

This number called me twice and was silent when I answered. I just said hello, don't mention your name! Of course I've blocked this number like so many other ones.

Be careful, reading the various comments here, I think they're asking random questions to get a recording of you saying "yes" so they can build a profile of you and scam you later. E.g. Play back your voice to automatic voice recognition systems.

They just hung up without saying a word

Didn't say anything

Like a lot of us, I work for myself. Every time I stop work to answer the phone in the hope of a customer on the other end I get pissed off when an overseas telemarketer who has very poor english is trying to tell me what they are trying to sell. I have no problem with cold callers who are just doing their job but the majority of these are just call centers trying to train these people overseas when they should be our out of work kids calling from call centers here. Something needs to be done, its just a pity our Government in Canberra doesn't give a flying f*ck about its constituents.

Insurance seller

I am already listed on the "Do Not Call" register, how did they get my number?? Is it a random number that they dial?

They called once, I answered but didn't say anything and then they hung up, about 2 hours later, they called again, once again I didn't say anything but then an Indian sounding male accent spoke saying my "nick name". Sounded like a busy pub/bar in the background, told him not to call again.

I've also blocked the number
