If you call the number back you can have your phone number removed from their telemarketing list by following the prompts.

It is optus they have been ringing me for years every couple of months not a good way too keep happy customers...good luck getting them to stop too.

Im with Optus and just started getting this message but haven't had it before. The only thing I can think of is I recently joined grocery run and catch of the day websites and may have got my number from that. Has anyone joined these sites also?

This number calls me every day at the same time, except weekends, I work nights and it got so frustrating. So I downloaded an APP that should block this number, hope it works, should find out today.

call centre that optus uses for maketing.

I'm getting heaps of calls as well and am unable to call back - it drops out on connection

Lots of missed calls from this number over hte past.  I know it's Optus because one time I answered and told them to call back.  If I call them back, the number doesn't work.

I just had a call from this number but I never answer numbers I don't know so luckily avoided them!

i rung back too, but if they were optus or wat not y would they have the address for an old folks home?

I just got a call from his number.  They claimed to be offering free add ons for my mobile optus plan.  

That was fine until at the end of the call he wanted me to tell him my date of birth.  I asked why and he said he wanted to verify I was the account holder.

This is really strange as usually they would check this at the BEGINNING of the call, not the end of the call.

I of course didn't give him my details and told him I wasn't going to and ended the call.

Potential scammers???

Yes when I answered they said they were from Optus. I've been getting calls from this number for the past two weeks now. Whenever I answer they ask for my father but I say that they have the wrong number but they still call the next day. Once again they asked for my father and I said that'll I'll pass the phone to him and once my dad answered they hung up!! I've had evough of these phone calls, so I bought an app on my phone  called 'Black List'. No more phone calls :)
