I have received numerous calls from this number 02 8310 4944. They claimed themselves from the Funeral Insurance Company.
Received two calls today from them (only less than 10 minutes aparts between each call). Before the staff could ask me anything, i asked him what is the exact name of the company and to spell the name correctly.
I also asked these questions to him:
- where is the location of the head office of the company
- the ABN of the company
- the location of the Sydney or other states office branches
- the contact phone number(s)
The staff then referred me to the call centre manager. I asked the same questions to him and he said he has all the information but unable to give them to me. However, he then advised me to remove me from the database listing.
Let's see if this is work.
My recommendation to you, when you received the same phonecall, try to ask as many questions as you can to the staff. Don't let him/her ask you questions.
Get his/her employee number too and email and anything that you could think of.
Enjoy and teach them well!

I get call from this number twice every day. The companies name is Global 1 Services and it's a India outsorcing compnay for telemarketing. Really tempting to spam their website in response to spamming my phone.

My mother is elderly, and gotten two hang up calls in two days from this number. Thanks to everyone who made notes above, and thanks to the creator of this website, she can now rest assured that she's not being targeted by anyone.
Much thanks to all for your efforts.

I continuesly receive phone call from this number at work and as soon as I ask Why are you calling the government department to sell a Funeral Plan? They just put the phone down. I was going to ask them to take my number of their lists but they already hang up. They seems to know when I am having my lunch or break as well...Very annoying

I've saved the number under "Blow Whistle" when they call I answer and blow a whistle down the phone. They may call back but you do it again, it soon stops.

continually receive call from 0283104944 or similar numbers and when you answer no one there or when your ring back as missed call is disconnected. Obviously the telecommunications authorities don't give a damn or they would find a way to stop these cranks. And yes, I do block them but they seem to get through on a very similar number again, and again, etc.

I have got calls from this number and many other call centres. I have made a blocked contact in my phone in which I add all telemarketers numbers to. I get an SMS for a missed call from them but no actual call. Eventually they stop

I keep getting calls from this number. As soon as I answer, they hang up. When I try to call back the number (to tell them off for hanging up in my ear), it says the number called is not connected.

Its your phone provider, its a random number, they want you to call back or answer and when you do it costs you a call. Either way, its a scam, its ways for them to run down your credit...I bought $30 credit from Optus and on purpose didn't make one call all month and right on cue at the end of the month I get a text message saying you have only $5 credit left, serious liars and fraudsters.
Paul

I had a missed call from this number so I decided to call them back.
It told me that the number has been disconnected. How can someone call from a number which is disconnected? And how are consumers supposed to make a fair complaint against the company when we are unable to track them down.
I think consumers are getting a bum deal, companies are able to contact us non-stop but we can't contact them to ask them to STOP!

They have promised to unregister my name and number. Nothing works.

Ok so you wanna know what I do... The minute they answer the phone I ask... "Ok so who are you, who do you represent and what are you trying to sell me...." Make it sound forceful they tend to hang up. Why? I hear you ask... Because they just plain dont want to identify themselves... The above number is a diverted number so makes it much harder to stop, because if that number gets blocked they will just get another one to divert through so in essense I say dont put up with it, dish it back gto them. I am sure if we all do it often enough they just might give up. Although this is doubtful. I am proactive on changing this dilemma which doesnt stop at the harassing calls... more to follow as I work to make our lives easier.

I keep getting these calls too. I have registered my number with the Government 'Do Not Call' website, don't know how effective it will be, but worth a shot. This is a government scheme that makes it illegal for telemarketers to contact you. https://www.donotcall.gov.au/

over it! usually funeral insurance which I say every time take me off I am too young to think of funeral insurance. now they ring today and they are calling from Choosewell health insurance in Melb. had an argument and he persisted to talk and say I was misunderstood. will answer the 'call back' I refused to be registered for- talking just like them. I will repeat word for word. that should be annoying enough right?

I get calls on my work number 2-3 times a week, even though it is on the Do Not Call Register. I don't bother to pick it up any more and have even informed the switchboard here to block it. Seems they have multiple numbers - Do not give any information to ISelect - they keep harassing me!

Been getting calls nearly every day for a week, stops and the respeats 1 3 5 then stops again then one or twice a week
Various operators but same number and same shyt
Funeral insurance
Told many times not interested , lied already have one ,
Asked to be removed , apparently none are entertained
The next time thy call I'm going to say yes I need one, I need for you bcos I am going to hunt you down and kill you mother fking Indians , dun get me wrong, I have nice indian friends but these are fking retards with no brains, who doesn't understand the futility of their effort
I bet phone companies wouldn't bother to block these people cos they get paid and might even profit from these fuckers
Police won't bother either , phone blocks only works for some numbers until they change number.
There probably no way to stop them except find out where they are and destroy their database or office but then u might get into trouble
This is how wars starts and can you blame wars?

I believe these people are selling a funeral insurance product. I have received daily calls from them for ages and I have requested to be removed from their database repeatedly. They try to verify your name and address but I refuse to do so. They have been abusive many times when I insist I'm not interested. I suggest you program this number in your phone as "Funeral Spammer" so you know it's them and can get rid of them quicker

I got a call from this number today asking me if I have a funeral plan. I have received many calls like this recently and I've had enough. Immediately I told the person on the other side (female, thick accent, I think indian?) that I am not interested. Next I asked how she got my number and she hung up. I called back and it says the number has been disconnected. I don't give strangers my mobile number often so I am guessing these indian scammers probably got my number from TPG or Optus outsourced call centres because I have had accounts with them in the past. Each time I block them, I get similar calls from different numbers. How frustrating!

received calls from this number and when you call back it was a disconnected number. also previously received many calls (auto-dial) from 07 5512 3276, were able to talk once they sale life insurance. I believe they are the same company or from same scam person stealing mobile numbers.

Today I got the first call from this number. However at least once a day for the last 4+ weeks I've been getting nuisance calls from 0755123276, another telemarketing number. Looks like I'm going to start getting 2 calls a day now, one from each number. How do these people get hold of our mobile numbers???
The calls aren't prank calls but auto dialers, machines that will dial your number and if you don't answer after 3 rings (yes only 3 rings) it disconnects. If you do answer you go through to a person who then harasses you.
ridiculous

Received a call from this number from a telemarketer trying to set up an obligation free quote on Funeral Insurance. When I told him I wasn't interested he asked me to be quiet for a minute while he explained a few things to me. I listened then when he asked me what time would be best to call me back for the quote I told him I'd already explained that I wasn't interested he hung up on me.

This number calls me 3-5 times a week (and sometimes numerous times a day). Most times, the caller hangs up, but other times, there is a very long delay, then someone with very poor english will attempt to sell me funeral insurance. I have blocked this number many times, but somehow they call from other area codes. Please investigate!
