Just called for my daughter. I told them she wasn't home and asked if I could take a message. Asked if I could get her to call this number and gave me a reference number. When I asked who should I say was calling, I was told that it was a personal matter and it would only be disclosed to my daughter. I told them I didn't need to know the personal details but would like to tell her the name of the company that she would be contacting. Was told they couldn't tell me as I was not the person they wanted to speak to. I told them I would pass on the message but that she wouldn't be calling them back as she has no information on who she is calling. The guy then said if she wants to find out then she needs to call. I again stated she wouldn't be calling him back without further information and he just hung up on me.

I kept the number and call back from a private number several times a day and ask them for personal details before I go any further.
Annoy them like they annoy us. :)

they call me most days. I have now blocked them

Lion Finance -
Have called several times over the last 12 months looking for someone who currently lives in a house that I sold over 7 years ago - have no idea how they got my mobile number though...! They don't leave messages so I called them back. They were reasonable to deal with, just frustrating that they keep ringing looking for someone else!!!

yep, looking for someone else... then asking for my details! scam

The same happened to me. Constantly calling. A Fillipino lady keeps asking for my date of birth and last name and won't tell me what the name of their company is. She claims it's because she's "protecting my personal Information" and wouldn't accept that I'm trying to protect my details too! She gave me an address where I used to live at almost 10 years ago!!

Caller: CLH Group (debt collectors)

Want me to confirm personal details without giving me the reason why. Told them I'm not playing their game, they asked me to confirm my address and rattled off some address, I told her if they think that's where I live go a head and send someone around there but. Call went on for a few minutes I got bored and hung up.

rude claim i have a power bill from a place i never lived idiots

I've been through the same crap. Didn't exist. Get a copy of the bill, check the dates that the bill was issued versus the alleged billing period. Then apply the following:

Even though I knew I was right, this wiped the floor with them.

debt collectors

They phone my home number and asked for the owner I ask who you looking for and the man on the line became very aggressive. So I told him I will not tolerate his attitude and put the phone down. They Phoning the wrong person. Get you facts straight and make sure if you have a name it the the name of the person you talking too.

Those people have been calling me from 7:00am till 9:00 pm every day I don't know who they are will not tell me who they are they say it is private and only speak with the person who they are calling I told them I was and they still wouldn't tell me and when I asked how they got both my unlisted home phone and my mobil no's they couldn't answer me when I told them not to call these no's again I'll report you they didn't believe me and now they call 12 times a day every day what can I do?

Caller: Lion Finance

Asked if I knew a Maddison Russell from a previous address. I asked what the call was about and was given I can't discuss personal details just trying to reach this person. I told them I did not know them and asked for my details to be removed. Sounds like a scam to me...

Called looking for someone who works for us, just gave me his name (Lester) & a call back number, 1300 659 384 - even tho he rang from 07/3017 3600) Said this particular person would need to call him back as he couldn't tell me anything except he worked for CLH. Gave me a reference number but no other information.

indian man telling me it's a business call. Wanted me to confirm my DOB, I told him I am not interested. He kept insisting.... until i hung up

Called looking for a former employee of the company I work for. The employee left before I was even hired, so been gone a while. Caller didn't believe that employee no longer worked here and got abusive when I still "refused" to put the employee on. Hung up.

I call crap!

Lion Financial, Brisbane - They called on my mobile, I didn't answer. Rang the number from a land line. Advised them I had missed a call from them and asked what the call was about. I said, I assume the call was for marketing, and they said they didn't do marketing calls. They said they couldn't tell me and asked for my name & mobile number. I wasn't going to give them these details, and hung up. I see if you search for them online, it is showing location/office as "Permanently Closed"

Caller: several people

they keep calling me and they have my name wrong Kathleen instead of Katherine, so annoying I try and find out who they are and they are so cagy, I then hang up

I returned the missed call and the lady from other line just asked me to confirm my date of birth and my full name .
I refused to answer those questions just because she can not tell me where she has calling from ? I heard something from finance and the debt I owed (? )
I then feel this is not normal .I should hang up ASAP.
