Why call from a mobile number then? Why not have a landline that is easily searchable. Suss.

Call from 0485 834 977 the woman knew my name and that I was with BT share / investment company. Wanted to ask me some questions about my thoughts on BT. Since 2021 Westpac dumped BT and no longer supports it so I told her BT and Westpac was crap, declined to answer any questions and hung up.

Brief 3 min survey about the upcoming NT Election in August and who you would be voting for!

This mob have been calling my landline for weeks - Guessed it would be something like this!!!
No one in this house picks up a phone unless we recognize the caller's number.

7:22pm notification of a voicemail - it was an automated voicemail saying 'Hello, TWK Research calling we may call you again' blah blah. Truecaller didn't even allow the call to come through - fantastic app. Number has already been flagged as spam within Truecaller. The nerve of not only calling but calling at 7:22pm on a Friday

Did not give them my number, did not consent to be called.
"Market research is exempt from the do not call register." - The exemption listed on the do not call register website is specifically for social research, not market research.
The do not call register should still be an indicator that we don't want you to call us.

Totally annoying to not leave a message. Blocked

Very annoying, sent my wife and I (separate numbers) both text and phone calls. Blocked on each. Total rubbish!

Hang up when answered

Rang my young sons mobile and left a short hard to hear message clearly trying to get a call back - blocked and reported spam

You do know numbers can be spoofed and anyone can pretend to be TKW or whoever.

Don't answer questions from cold calls.

Sounded automated but knew my name. Called on behalf of Yarra Valley water and asked if it was me (full name). I said yep and the call went silent... Weird.
