we receive calls from telemarketing companies even though we are on the do not call register. Do not call register is a waste of time in subscribing to and seems next to useless so I treat all these callers the same and tell them all to F off, I dont care if they are religious groups or charities, male or female callers same line every time "F off".

there are in my contacts as "twats" so when I get home from work and they have rung 10 times it comes up twats and no need to waste my time checking the messasges for dead silence.

They are in my address book as ’Ignore’ so I now know not to pick up.

Why not leave a message referring people to a legitimate website to donate or just leave account details that people can verify and then willingly give to? Would save a lot of abuse to call centre workers and all the other tactics people employ and consumers can make an informed choice.

they keep ringing me on my fax machine ha ha

Called asking to buy tickets or to donate which would have done if I hadn't heard credit cards money in the bank in the back ground I refuse to do anything via them they seem to eager and after reading one of their charities paid something like 20 million for marketing I think it's time p

Ringing my home, to ask if my 15 yo daughter will doorknock the areah, asking for donations in behalf of the Red Cross, then deposite donations into a commonwealth bank acount is OUT OF LINE.

Apple Marketing is a telemarketing company.

Charities can, but telemarketers are legally not allowed to call anyone on the official government 'do not call' register.

You can add your number to the official 'do not call' register here:

https://www.donotcall.gov.au

Legitimate companies with legitimate corporate governance respect this register and will stop calling.

If you continue to get calls you should suspect the legitimacy of the call.

Good Lord. They have my number. They keep ringing. Surely they can work it so that they don't ring you every day.

Sick of continuous calls everyday. Call back and they act dumb

No sympathy, as "not for profit" means their CEO gets his wages paid, free car, aircon office, business expense account for lunches, plane tickets, etc. THEN if there's any money left over it gets donated. Give to charity by all means - but walk in the door and hand it to them yourself - don't encourage this guilt-inducing rubbish, "But it's not-for-profit..." to make us feel guilty. It's your money, not theirs - and if they fired all those leeches, the charities would be receiving something like 40% I believe it is - only it would increase yet again - because people wouldn't be fed up being bled dry!

Very annoying. Am taking my number off immediately.

Apple marketing group does not run a system that allows them to store that type of information. And as a charity, they are exempt from DNCR

Had a call from this number asking to speak with the previous tenant.
The number hasn't been in her name for over 5yrs now.

Unfortunately the message here is never, ever give to charities that use telemarketing. These people have been ringing every day - sometimes more - after my wife gave money to a charity. I have asked them to stop but they just keep ringing. This is harassment, and the government needs to broaden the Do Not Call Register to stop these pests.

Frequently get calls from this number on my business phone line that is listed on the ACMA do not call register. I never pick up and they never leave a message. Thanks to this forum I sent email to the Apple Marketing website, http://www.applemarketing.com.au/contact.asp and placed my number on their do not call register. Hope it works.

It would seem that they can also generate calls FROM your phone line thus increasing costs , check you phone bill for their number (07) 5560 4900

Thanks for letting me know who this number belongs to. I will now register them on the Do Not Call List.

These people seem to be active again...

They asked how big my penis was, I told them 21 inches long and 4 inches wide.
