Not so sure about this mob. They rang me claiming to be market research, but in among the questions were whether I lived alone (specifically that, not "how many people live at that address?"), whether I had a dog, whether I had electronic goods or jewellery on the premises and how much per month I spent on movies and music, and then they asked whether I wanted to be on their mailing list for other surveys, which would have required my handing over my street address as well. Could be straight-up, but could also be phishing for premises to rob. Caller ID was blank; they gave me this number quoted here, but that doesn't mean that was where they were calling from. I regard this as suspicious.

Repeated calls to my phone picked up by my answering machine. Several a day. My number is private and I am on the "Do Not Call Register". No message left. Called back and got a recorded message. Left a message that I am fed up with their nuisance calls and am going to report. ( question is. . . . who to??)

have had so many phone calls to my mobile from this number, never leaving a message. I have phone back and tried to leave a message but it cut out. I have reported to telstra, unsure if they can do anything

Had repeated missed calls from this number.

Finally managed to answer the call today - it was a market research company (I forget the name) following up on behalf of my previous health provider to find out reasons why I had changed provider.

Were quite friendly and gave me the option of whether I wanted to do the survey or not.

Pretty harmless it would seem.

9am this morning, a Saturday, my only morning lie-in - these idiots call me!  I left the phone go and when I went to check messages when I eventually surfaced and called back there was no answer.Who are these people?  I think I've had calls from them before.

Have received at least 4 calls to my mobile in the past 24 hours from this number.  Phone only rings once or twice making it virtually impossible to get to the call before it stops ringing.  Is it a scam? May be buying huge numbers of bulk calls from telstra at a discount rate & be copping a percentage of the 'return calls'.  I have a feeling that the ploy is to try to coerce the receiver (you) into making a return call, taking advantage of your natural curiousity. I did in fact call the number, moments after receiving one, and my call went directly to a nondescript message bank. I definately reckon that this is a deliberate scam.
