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 litterally just got a call from these people asking me about my business landline, which i dont have considering they called me on my mobile. i called back and no answer. but when i told him it was a mobile he just hung up. i wanted to called back tell him how rude he was but obviously no answer. next person who gets a call from this number needs to yell at him and tell him to stop perstering everyone. be really rude if you have to!

I received a call from this number informing me they were from Telstra. (We are with Telstra and I am directly responsible for dealing with them). The guy then went on to tell me that we were eligable for a redured rate in our monthly bill (which I thought was odd as we have just recently negotiated a new deal with Telstra) I asked what our current bill was? .. He umm'ed and aaaa'ed and say a figure out of the air .. $90 dollars, which is a few thousand under. I laughed and asked if he was really from Telstra at which point he hung up.

Someone keeps calling my number at home and not leaving a message which is driving me nuts. I have a prompt on my mobile to let me know when there is a message on my home message bank. So far in 22 minutes I have received four calls. Tried to ring back but of course, no one answers.

I disagree with everything everyone here has said
I am a happy touchtel customer and have been ever since I signed up.

They do sound like a scam but honestly they're not , my business line stayed on the same number , same everything but I am saving 100 dollars a month!

I think you should all open your pathetically narrow little minds and listen to what these people have to say, It doesn't cost to listen.

Thankyou

Genuinely happy touchtel business customer

these people rang me today claiming their were wholesalers from telestra? as the conversation went on he told me they were touch tel, so they lied to get me in terested, claiming they would save me money on my business, we have ethics gone in this whole telemarketing thing or do they have there own/ i think the latter

These people call me about my telstra service and as soon as I say I am happy they hang up in my ear.They keep calling and calling same thing
