It is the cancer council - trying to make you 'support' meaning donate money

I get one call everyday. Due to entering a competition to win a $1000 shopping voucher. It's all rigged and very annoying. I havent answered yet nor will I. blocking the number now. Do they not realise people wont be willing to help them if they are annoying? Very bad marketing tactics indeed....

I received a call from this number today but didn't answer because I suspected it was a charity (I do already donate to a couple of charities including the Cancer Council). Then I got 10 calls in 10 minutes, listed as 'no caller ID'. Although I cannot be sure it was the same people, I wonder if it's a tactic to not identify themselves in the hope I would answer.

How the do I get my number off this list - or deregister? I have no idea how they got my number and it's annoying.

Getting called 3 times a day buy this number so I googled it and here I am!!! Unbelievable!

This is the Cancer Council, I've spoken to them and told them I'm not interested - they keep calling anyway. I've now blocked the number on my phone.

Sick of this number ringing me so rude I am on a do not call list!

they called my new mobile number, no ones even got it yet?

harassment for few months

I get quite a few calls from this number daily, sometimes a really short ring and I pick up but they hang up straight away. Sometimes I call back straight after a missed call or a hung up call and it rings for ages with no answer.

Yep - This one calls every other day, sometimes every day, and claims either to be the Cancer Council or Surf Life Saving Foundation, both of whom I donate to, requesting additional funds. . . will block the number and if necessary change my credit card details. I feel like I'm being violated and don't like my details in the hands of unknown third parties.

i got 3 calls on average a day then got to the point i have told them i have recorded there number and if i receive just 1 more call from them i\ll be taking legal action ...the calls stopped no more since

Yep must have ticked something by accident on a survey I did the other day they've rang me every day this week but I haven't picked up yet.

Rang me for 4 days in a row and when I pick up the line goes dead

They have rang me 3 times today

It's a definitely a scam. Report it to scamwatch.gov.au

They are calling my work phone numerous times a day and I ignore. They call on the weekend, at night and anywhere in between. Understand why companies hire these sort of call centres but gives them a bad wrap!

Had them calling me once for the past three days straight but today for some reason have called me 4times in the one day!!

Keeps calling me ever since I changed my credit card details - f*cking cheeseburger. Ain't nobody got time for dat!!! I already donote to 2 charities every month
