It was quite funny, when i answered this call. It was a guy from origin energy posing as a representative from the Carlton Football club, of which I am a member. I dunno how he got my number, but anyway, he was trying to sell me origin energy's electric plans.

Rang for one ring then stopped, a return call gives an engaged tone after a longish wait. 6May2008, 1445.

Calls sevral times per day but hangs up when answered, stop calling Please

Found the culprit! Origin Energy.They called again yesterday about 1pm and told me they wantedto give me a "loyalty bonus". They knew my name and address butwhen they wanted my DOB I told them to get lost. I understandthis is, basically, a scam to sign you up for a contract periodin order to stop you churning to a different supplier. I wonderif they realise how many people they are annoying? 9th May 2008.

I keep getting calls but no one talking on the other end of the phone. Ive had about 5 or 6 over the last week. Often around 6pm. Even had one saturday morning(but i missed it). It rings i answer an then nothing. Were is the window for me to throw a brick through?

Jon, im a carlton member too.

I also received a few calls from this number and me not answering them on time. However once I did speak to an agent from Origin, I am actually glad I did. They provided me with an alternative to save money!!

To MikeH, "a scam" dont think so. Give them time to explain and you will find that they offer some considerable savings.

Anyway, rather someone local that contact me with an opportunity to save some money than the blokes from India!
