Had a call today from these people stating they were from a training Department and was researching training techniques for educating people. I told him sorry not interested. he went on to speak about this research and ignore my saying I am not interested and then asked me if he could email me as I was "obviously not listening to what he had to say." I told him "He was obviously not listening to what I had to say" as I had stated I was not interested ( apart from that I was very busy at work) and reinterated that I was not interested and hung up. He needs training in people skills and listening!! Perhaps that is enough feed back for him? Or perhaps not?

Got a phone call to night from them. Didn't get to answer it they hung up before we got a chance to. How very rude!

Getting a call at 8.30pm with an old man who can fall rushing the phone is not funny!.

I'm buying a whistle and next time they ring I'm blowing it into the phone, over these nuisence callers. An absolute pain in the butt they call daily, it appears to be an auto dial system.

have been called twice not enough time to get to the phone do not appreciate the interuptions then to be hung up on very rude

Well Jayne, I believe that any Marketing people have a right to surveying the market, but ringing on Sundays and between 6pm to 8pm is just not on people who have worked all day do not want the phone ringing from market researchers. I think you lot are bending the rules a bit. My suggestion to consumers is not to answer the phone if you don't recognise the number. After all Market researchers who ring home after hours or any time are doing it for money.

Wife thought she heard them say they were from the TAC but then the call dropped out. She thought something bad had happened. When we called back, the number was constantly engaged.

They rang and then hung up the second the phone was answered, ringing random numbers for no particular reason is just rude. What sort of marketing company is this rude ?

Two calls on two consecutive Saturday nights (or Sunday mornings), at 3.20 am & 4.10 am, respectively. I don't care what the company is calling for, this is way out of line and illegal.

Why is "market research" exempt from the DNC Register? If these people came onto your property and knocked on your door you could do them for trespass. Time these people were treated the same way as door-to-door salesmen!

YOU Jayne (!) and your friends at Wallis are not welcome in my home, and I shouldn't have to ask you nicely NEVER to call me even if you think that 8:20 pm is a reasonable time!

What is the point of the Do Not Call register. They rang me on a Sunday afternoon. Desperate or what.

I have been bombaded with calls for a long time.Being ill,it takes me a while to get to phone,only to find no message,frustrating.

Sunday afternoon for ffff sake. On the Do Not Call register but he reckons they're exempt..pfffft.
Stupid public transport survey. SOD OFF

(03) 9940 2000 for all the people with useless memories it is for a test about 50 people from your school did back between 03-07 for those of you with new numbers tell the survey group who ever it was they used to call is no longer using this number...

This number is for a legitimate market research company who conducts surveys for Local, State and Federal Government as well as other organisations. Market research companies are exempt from the Do Not Call Register.

Have had many hang up calls from this number. Finally spoke to an incredibly rude woman and asked her to be taken off their call register. She tried to tell me that they did not have a call register and that the numbers were randomly generated by a computer. I tried to explain to her that I had already looked up their number and I knew that they had a register. She tried to talk over me and eventually hung up on me. I rang the (03) 8620 5688 number and spoke to an extremely polite lady who told me she would remove our number from their register and also informed me she would go back through our call records in their data base and look into the person I spoke to the first time.

I get calls...no one there by the time I get to the phone. They are exempt from "Do Not Call Register" because they are not SELLING you anything...DAMN. I will ring them back and tell them to take me off their list

hung up (03) 9940 2000 in my ear when I answered the phone when I rang back (03) 8620 5688 they told me that they are exempt from do not call and the survey was on social justice and privacy law and said they would remove my number from further calls

Received a call from this number at 4am this morning!!!!! And they hung up when we answered! And we're registered with the Do Not Call Register....

I do not appreciate calls at 4.50am. What idiot would expect to sell you something at that hour?
