Caller: My landlord owns this company

I have just discovered that my landlord, who has stolen more than $8000 from us causing us to have 5 days to be evicted, owns this company. I have now applied for an urgent hearing at VCAT to provide this and other evidence regarding all of the companies he has opened and closed as provided on the Whirlpool website. Simply research the name Narayan Rathi and you will see what I am referring to. Report this number to the ACCC or to the Telecommunications Ombudsman.

I have been getting calls from these numbers every day for the last year and a bit. I just asnwered one from (03) 9001 5893 and hung up as soon as I heard her say Telstra. I have also received a call from the following numbers:

(03) 9001 5829
(03) 9827 1219
(03) 9982 8889
(03) 9001 5894
(03) 9001 5888

And before those, all calling from an unknown number.

I have also asked repeatedly to remove us from their list. Told them that they must have the wrong number, that they are calling a phone number that is not listed (it's a voip number too). They ask for the business owner of a department within our organisation that is not actually a business. Very much sick of these calls and I wish I knew a way I could block all these numbers.

Hey just rang telstra and they said they have had so many people complain about this number (03) 9001 5829 so i blocked them and all there 4 different numbers .... everyone block them that way telstra can do something about it .. and also i have tried to ring them and i get nothing no ringing just silence ....

Just go another call from this number - Again & again these people call and each time I tell them I don't have a Telstra land line because they are call my Skpe number.(I have a wireless Internet account and have an Internet phone number - so they are only guessing that I have a Telstra land line). The same number called me yesterday and today - I asked them to remove my phone number from their list... see what happens.

A man's voice called up and said he was calling about my Telstra land line account.
He hung up quickly when I said you just called my Skpe phone number and I have no land line as its all via internet.... define scam!

These people are actuall TouchTel and also go by a few other names.

They cann saying that they are the "wholesale department of telstra", then they clarify with "we are the wholesale department on the telstra network", two more attempts and they finally say they are from TouchTel.

its been the same script for the last two years.

Annoying! Answered 2 calls and all I get is a recording saying "Goodbye" :((((

I received a phone call from this number today. The bloke started to ask for another business & then changed midsentance to ask for my business. When I said yes, very dubiously, he hung up. Definitely worth investigating as they are clearly trying to scam someone.

Had a call today as well, Wasn't sure on who it was now I'm, sure it's Simplytel who is peopletell

Very rude. Major complaint about this number.Maybe a telemarketer? Less I hear from 'em the better

I quess Telstra "accidentally" shared our information with criminal orginaizations.

Damn.

Have had a few calls from this number. Usually they get the giggle about my name and usually sound like they are stoned. They always call my business numbers which are VOIP and obviously so. They are either touting Telstra or touting to move one away from Telstra. They still press on when they are advised the number they have called is a VOIP number and that it has no relationship whatsoever with Telstra (the copper is on a contract elsewhere). I ask them to remove me from their list to save their time, but they still average >10 calls per year in bursts of a few per month.Inefficient sales mill, whoever they are. Owners or organisers of the telemarketing effort for ththat company need to take a close look at their business operation, or like most cowboys, they will end up with nothing but debt and perhaps incarceration.

Shut down these scammers............... Touchtel ourtel fairtalk and many other names go back to your country stop ripping off australians your getting close to being caught................. Go to the tio ombudsman and federal police on these guys...............

These telemarketers really annoy me. I got a call yesterday from James from TouchTel, but he spoke so indistinctly that it was impossible for me to work out where he was from until I asked some probing questions. He started with "mumble James mumble Telstra wholsale mumble". The mumbling was probably a tactic. He claimed he knew my call patterns. When I asked careful questions to clarify who he worked for, he ended up hanging up.

I phoned TouchTel "customer care" on 1300 861 855. Someone will supposedly look into the call that James made and get back to me. I do not expect a decent resolution from TouchTel, but I believe in phoning the company back to annoy them. I gave them my phone number (since they have it already) and my first name, and asked them to phone me back to respond to the complaint.

I recommend phoning 1300 861 855 to complain.

Cheers,
Peter
