Constantly getting calls without anyone on the other end. This is one of the numbers calling me. I am on the Do Not Call register and if I get to talk to people I tell them to remove my name from their database. When I worked for a company that had a division with a call centre they told me that all those companies are obliged to remove your name if you forcibly request it. I am quite determined will talk about nothing else. I have managed to stop most marketing and rubbish except for these creeps and wps.

Me too people, simply annoying. My number is private and still not good enough to deter these nuisance causing imbeciles. What a waste of time for us all.

every day for the past week wish they'd give it a rest I am sure NO ONE is interested in them harassing you!!!! grrr

the Do Not Call register only applies to telemarketers that sell things. Charity and Market Research are not a part of the Do Not Call list and therefor can still ring you. You need to ask the person on the phone to remove you from their own list.

I called the Social Research Centre in Melbourne 1800 023 040) - they own the number  (03) 8327 1900 and make their outgoing calls from it (they have confirmed this number with me).  As they are not telemarketers (ie trying to sell you something) they are not governed by the Do Not Call Register legislation.  If you are getting calls from them you can ask them to take you off their current research campaign but they can't stop their system from calling your number for any future campaigns.Just bloody annoying if you ask me....

Did you call worksafe?

They have called me on multiple numbers... I tell them I'm busy and hang up. So, they try again and I ignore their call (I add them to my iPhone contact book as "Do not Answer" and apply the Duck ringtone to it). Then, they call on a different number!They've called me on:(03) 8383 4900(03) 8327 6000(03) 8327 1900I would ignore any number containing "(03) 83XX XXXX" unless that kind of number is from your region.Yes, I am on the "Do Not Call" Registry!

theyve called me 10 times in the past week i just ignore any number beginning with 03, the calls are computer generated so if they arnt answered sooner or later they drop out of the system. today when they rang i answered the phone , put the phone down & walked away. it took the idiot on the other end 5 mins before he realised. the computer will now pick my number up as being "answered" & will drop out of the system. Its supposed to be the social research centre based in Melbourne, but  reading some posts  in  whocallsme under (03) 8383 4900 i think its a debt collector.
