Caller: Evidently a scammer

I didn't answer, as it looked like the typical scam/marketing number. I decided to check here first. This has become a normal part of life. Thanks for the info, everyone!

They ring and don't talk, will not answer from now on.

Charity calls regularly, sometimes no response when you answer

I have a message on my machine that tells people to basically go away the reply from this particular number was "oh my goodness"

Looking for someone called Geoff Eeles. Said they were a charity and would remove my number from their call list.

I had no problem with unsolicited phone calls until I connected a new phone when I changed over to new NBN. I have automatic message bank so took the batteries out of the phone a left it off for a few days and had no calls for about 4 days. This is okay for me because I use my mobile for business etc and use the landline because calls are free national, mobiles and local. Even if your number is unlisted you will still get calls because automation calls numbers in sequence.

Same as everyone else, the numbers rotate. I find it hard to believe Telstra or anyone cant do anything about the number. Don't we have to supply details to establish a number in the first place.

Seriously, I don't care if they have a job to do, its simple they talk to you when you answer the phone, not automatically hangup.

Same thing happening to me......call.....when answered .....nothing. Now blocked!

I have blocked numbers coming from 03 or 07 area codes as I don't know anyone in either Victoria or Queensland. But still the calls come, twice a day. WHY don't they get the message no to call.

Great advice !

Too many calls ... STOP THEM ...do not answer this number

scam

Hang up as soon as you aanswer

Rude ...constantly calling ...no message.

leave us alone , Hard enough paying the bills without putting us on guilt trips because we say NO

They hang up when you pick up. A continuous nuisance. If they have something to say, say it, otherwise stop calling.

Constant ringing and no message left. Blocked them now.

They hang up when you answer morons

Please don’t be too upset at them. They have a job to do, employed by a company contracted by charities to ask for donations.
The unfortunate thing is that a % (if not initially all) of your donation will go to pay for these telemarketers.

Look on the bright side, if they don’t have this job, you’ll be paying for their Centrelink handouts.
