This company calls, so I blocked them. They have a few different numbers so I have blocked them too.

Have received a number of thee nuisance type calls from this number.... i will log the number on the Australian Do Not Call website but I am annoyed this keeps happening as my number is used for my business also.....

I did not answer it, as I did not know the number, my phone rang late evening, not impressed as I have a very sick friend at the moment.

Multiple calls from this number. I answer and they disconnect before any chance to abuse them because I am on the do not call register. Sick of it

Caller: Asian lady claiming to be Country Energy

Missed call. Returned call
As ain sounding lady answered claiming to be Country Energy
Then stated she was not from any particular energy company.
BLOCKED

Caller: Market research company

I don't normally answer unknown numbers, but on a whim decided to and it was an Aussie guy saying he was from a market research company doing a survey about travel (another comment here says it's OCR International who often do surveys on behalf of Tourism Australia). I decided to participate and the survey went for around 5-10 mins. He was very polite and it was nice to chat to him. I discussed two recent interstate trips I had been on. For each one they wanted to know rough expenditure, things we did, where we stayed etc. They had the obligatory demographic/household income questions at the end, which he indicated I didn't have to answer if I wasn't comfortable. I used to work for a market research company so I definitely have a lot of sympathy for them and am usually quite happy to do surveys. The Do Not Call Register does NOT apply to market research, just FYI!

Caller: He said he was calling on behalf of the govt but....

I work in a govt office and when I answered the (work) phone and the guy on this number started his spiel about calling on behalf of the govt it was all I could do not to laugh. I asked him if he was aware that he had called a govt office and he said 'oh, no I wasn't, have a good day' and hung up. The list of numbers they call must be pretty random!!

Caller: ORC International

‭(03) 8256 1755‬ and ‭(03) 9038 3887‬ have called me twice. Once on each number. I have attempted to call them back twice, no answer. Haven’t called me in a few days (Today is 21st December).

Why should we be polite when you are intruding unwanted on our space and silence and sometimes waking a shiftworker or someone who is ill? People go on the DoNotCall register for these perfectly valid reasons. How about your company being polite and leaving us in peace.

Someone called my Telstra home (landline) phone from that number (03) 8256 1755 a few minutes ago. I didn't answer it because I only answer calls from numbers I know...
According to all reports it is definitely an unwelcome call - I usually receive a lot of them on my mobile number which they obtained from a database that I inadvertently registered my number on about 3 years ago, when I was sucked in by a 'competition' to win an iPhone, which came in an e-mail. It was obviously just a trick to get people's phone numbers and unfortunately I was conned.. Nevermind.
BUT...
The problem here is I ONLY registered my MOBILE number, I NEVER gave out my landline number to anyone and my landline number is an unlisted or 'silent' number.
So I am quite concerned as to HOW this nuisance caller was able to obtain my number!

unwanted.

calls from (03) 8256 1755, but never leave message

Market Research Company

Caller: (03) 8256 1755

After six years having this 3G phone number, I would like to know how they got hold of my number. This number is used only for calls from my husband. They are persistent and won’t take NO for an answer.

Caller: missed his name

again, OCR re a travel survey 'on behalf of' the gubba. I had to be quite persistent in politely telling them I wasn't interested. will block & report if they call again.

Caller: Survey

(03) 8256 1755 is a legitimate company doing regular survey on many topics for the government. It okey folks.

my number is registered do not call these ppl ring anyway

SCAM Just another number on my ever increasing list of blocked numbers

Caller: Some Survey

They are still at it. Just give it up, no ok be wants to take your surveys, especially those of us who are on the Do Not Call registry. I thought by now these useless surveys would have run their course. Very last century way of obtaining information.

Called offering rude explicit serviecs
