Just got a call from this number. when i picked up and introduced myself, He just answered back saying "sorry wrong number" Suss..

Called claiming to be from Australian Post Code Survey - hung straight up, just another scam

The number is not connected when I call it. I have been getting around 3 calls a day for weeks now. Amazing that nothing can be done about these people. The telco's must be making good money out of scammers. Most likely this is the motivation behind why they say they can do nothing about them.

scam. many calls in recent weeks.

Calls from this number i never answer.

Told me over and over that they weren't selling anything. I asked how they have my number when I am on the DNC register. She STILL said that it was OK, because she wasn't selling anything. I asked again, how they got my number. She said it was ok, because they were exempt. I said that I believed only Charities, Religious groups and Political organisations were exempt and which one was she and she hung up.
VoIP makes spoofing caller ID a lot easier... It also means that the calls don't cost them anything except their time.
Maybe we should all just waste their time???

I'm sick of these calls. REALLY ANNOYING..rrr :(

Yes, same here. The number called and ten hung up and when I called it there was a voice message to say that the number was disconnected!

ha ha,. right on Leggy. good one

calling again, don't call please

I hope they r getting something for all their annoying efforts, the Ombudsman followed by Prosecution sounds like a good move.
Who & Where are the scam police?

Why is it when you call the number back you are advised the number is disconnected. Can only assume they are checking if you are home and if you are a pensioner who might be taken for a ride. My husband answered and when he told them his age they were no longer interested.

This number called then hung up as soon as i answered. I called it back and apparently the number is not connected!!

Called on our DNC number, acted friendly "how are you" etc. When I mentioned this was a DNC number they immediately hung up without as much as a "sorry"!!!

many calls from this number - landline, annoying because I can't block the call. they always hangup instantly

Annoying scammers

They didn't even give me a chance to lie to them!

Multiple missed calls on our landline. Said they were from Australian postcode survey. I said to place me on Do Not Call - caller said they were exempt. When I said I did not believe him and would post a complaint he hung up.

Calls from this number come only around meal times and I get engaged signal if I pick up the handset

They called. I answered. They didn't say a word. All I heard was background noise, and a woman talking? Weird.
