Had this number ring up at all times of the day and night, when i answer there is no one there. Has been happening for the last week and it really is becoming annoying. Havent rang back the number for fear it might charge me at a per minute rate.

Had two missed calls on my mobile phone, so rang this number back to see who was ringing, the call was answered by a recorded message, where a female voice asked me to leave a detailed message stating my full name and phone number which I (stupidly) did, and telling me I'd receive a call back shortly.  Haven't had that call yet, so I'm suspicious as to what it was.  I only rang it because a credit card transaction had been blocked on my card, and I thought it might be the banks fraud department trying to contact me.  I've since checked with the bank and this isn't their number.

BTW, this is all happening in Australia.

We have received numerous amounts of phonecalls everyday from this number. I do not want to call it back as i am afraid it might be a scam to get money. These phonecalls are extremely annoying and i would like to know who they are from.

Yep, me too!

This annoying number doesn't get the idea that I will not answer their calls.
They are pests and I would like to see them punished by removal of the phone service indefinitely. I would like to send them a bill for every time I answer the phone and they hang-up.

Yes I have had numerous calls from this number - everytime there is no one on the other end.  This is annoying, especially when I have 4 kids and could be in the middle of something and have to rush and answere the phone only to find no one on the other end.  I have stayed on the phone but after about 10 secs it hangs up.  I am registered on the Do not call roll.  This has happened atleast 4-5 times a day.  I have left 2 messages on their message machine saying I am really annoyed and to have my phone number removed from their register.  But to no avail, as I am still receiving the damn calls.

I had this twice today, just silence and then hung up the second time (missed it the first time).

I have also had this number call, called them back and got that stupid answering machine.
If this many people are receiving unwanted calls and complaining about it then Telstra really should do something! Shut them down!

I got this number calling over the last week. I rang the number back just now and got put through to a nice guy that said he cancelled my ph. number from their database. Now hopefully I didnt get charged a whopper for calling back (ie. scam) or I hope he was sincere in cancelling my number, but I'll see if I still get calls, it may be worth calling them...

028023000 just called, at 4.53pm 05/11

028023000 just called, at 4.53pm 05/11
Caller ID: 0280230000

me too - just had a call about a minute ago 14:31 6/11/2007 from (02) 8023 0000

I just got a call from the number 0280230000 they were quiet at first then the man asked For me by name but I said I wasn't home to the man then said he asked when will she be home I said Tomorrow then the guy said thankyou love then hanged up. The guy left no name or nothing Very creepy.

Same deal, hang up calls all the time. Hubby called them back, got the answering service. Hopefully they quit soon, really starting to get annoying

I too have recieved calls from 8023 0000, 8023 0153, 8023 0431, 8023 0295 over the last four days - so i rang them all back - to hear the same chick asking me to leave my name and number but not telling me who she was. (no way i was going to do that)

then my partner answered one - it was American Express selling upgrades to existing customers - upgrade and earn more points. (bet the interest goes up to cover it!).

I was relieved to read above "Apparently it is just a telemarketing firm. They call 20 numbers at once, "

i did fear my partner was having an affair there for a moment as i would answer and they would hang up. It should be banned somehow.

Been getting calls for last 3 months from this number. (0820830000)
They refuse to give me their details when I ask who they are & how they acquired my phone numbers.
I have not rung them back.
In every instance the person asks to speak to a Mr. Paul Barry. (not my name)
I've had calls from them to my landline & mobile. VERY ANNOYING!
