I have a contact called PEST on my mobile. This is another number to be added to PEST's long list of numbers. I simply ignore calls from PEST.

Had another call from these Pests this evening - The caller was a lovely girl new to the Job - Told me she was calling from the Alannah & Madelaine foundation - she called me by my previous name - When I said she had the wrong no. she continued from the script including suggesting the amount I could contribute - when she finally came up for air I asked her where she got my no from to which she replied "tel list broker' she was unable to tell me which broker but promised to remove my no from their list - BTW - we are on the do not call register & have a silent number - Charities are excempt from the this register so can legally call you with out fear of prosecution. Also, only a small amount (about 15%)of money raised actually goes to the charity - If you want to donate money, go directly to the organisation, or not

I bracketed the number. So I rang (03) 8678 2601, 86782602, 86782604. It looked like it belonged to a range of numbers. The 604 number answered by what I think was a call centre person, so I informed them of the problem. They rang me back shortly after to say that the number was theirs and that it was malfunctioning. He also believes that the problem was rectified on Friday of last week (18/5/2012). Not sure of the truth in this but I guess I need to give benefit of the doubt. Company name is Reachnet. http://reachnet.com.au/

Good Luck with it.

Alannah & Medeleine Foundation

I just love it when my call block list works and sends their call into oblivion. They just keep on calling though.

I have had a number of calls from this number - the operator each time has said they are from different charities. Very annoying and suspicious.

They called me and asked if i am interested in pet stuff. When asked how they got my number, they said list of brokers. When asked which one, they hung up.

Sounds like a Hacking scam or something. I rang them and they don't pick up.

Said they're the Australian Pet Welfare Foundation - I asked them to remove me from their calling list

I am also on a do not call list and have my set charities that I choose to donate to. Some of these telemarketers (if thats who it is, my return call was rejected) are getting so forceful that it turns you off donating at all.

No answer type calls, occurs several times a week.

This telemarketing company is giving the Alannah and Madelaine Foundation a seriously bad name. I can't stand them.

This group always calls on behalf of "The Alannah and Madeline Foundation" and then proceed to talk for ages about their latest project that they want you to help fund. They consistantly call for days, every couple of months until you answer. I just ignore them now.

I've been getting numerous calls from (03) 8678 2603 from my landline then mobile. The highest was 6 in one day! 95% of the time they hang up but when they don't they say they are from Allanah & Madeleine Foundation. I'm so sick of them, I contacted AMF and complained about their telemarket contractor and said that I will not support any charities that uses harassment tactics to get donations. (calling 6 times a day to me is harassment!) AMF said if they get more complaints they MAY reconsider the telemarketing contract. See what happens....
