I am being absolutely POUNDED with calls from 0485 numbers, and each time I block them.& another kicks off. This has been occurring for at least 6 months now. Why are telecommunication providers not doing anything about this? It’s absolute harassment and if it continues he’s I will be making a complaint to the appropriate ombudsman, as we should all do. Please say you’re with me and will do it too?

Caller: Female from India During her friendly spiel I interruped her and told her I was not interested and hung up. This number called back straight away so I turned the bell down to zero.

The lady on the phone talked about government subsidy of solar installation. When I asked her whether she was allowed to call a "Do Not Call" number and she hanged up. I suggest registering your phone numbers (mobile and landline) with the Government's Do Not Call registry (https://www.donotcall.gov.au/). In case that you pick up a call which is not welcomed, simple ask if the person is allowed to call your "Do Not Call" number. This works. Never talk to unwelcome callers and tell them anything about yourself and your household. Good luck everyone.

Suspected scam I let the call ring out as I was talking to a store attendant at the time, no message was left. Shortly after a similar number called that identified as Commonwealth Bank …. this second call was definitely a scam call.

Exact same intro with my call from this number. They then proceeded to ask if I was a home owner, and when I answered 'no' they hung up. Weird scam.

On answer the caller didn't speak. I got the feeling my voice was being recorded so I stopped saying "hello" and then I heard them hang up.
