02-8873-0900

I've had a few calls from this number over the last week. I have voicemail so I found it strange that there was no message left. When I called back, it just rang out. Anybody have a similar call from this number, or know where it has originated?

Yes, had a call. However they had an answering machine answer. Couldnt catch the company name. Thought it might be a recruitment co I am regsitered with and left me details. Prob shouldnt have!

Just missed a call from this number and thought I'd google the number to try to find out who it was.. no luck. I probably wouldn't have answered it if I'd heard the call anyway. So sick of getting unsolicited calls.

Further to the last message... a google search has revealed this number to belong to COLMAR BRUNTON - a market research agency with an office in North Ryde. This is exactly the sort of annoying phone call I wanted to put a stop to when the "Do Not Call Register" was announced - fat lot of good that did.

Actually Colmar Brunton is a company that pays you to do market research like taste testing and stuff like that, I don't think they do unsolicited calls. I also received some missed calls from them but I am registered for them to call me so it wasn't unsolicited. I don't think they would waste their time calling randoms who aren't registered for their research.

Like the posters above, I just had a missed call and googled the number to see who it might be. I'm in VIC and don't usually get calls from the (02) area. I am glad to see it is Colmar Brunton - I'm booked in to do some research tomorrow (ironically on mobile phone services) so I'm guessing it was just a reminder. The original booking was arranged from the Sydney office, on my landline number. I agree with the last poster that it is unlikely they do random calling. You have to be registered with them. And they pay you for your time. I'm getting $40.00 cash for 45 mins of my time tomorrow. I'm more than happy.

These people called on a Sunday, they call EVERYDAY and hang up the guy just grunted on the phone and hung up ! I am on no call list ! I shall be emailing :

I also received a missed call from this number, also googled to get here, I just got a new number too... so I have no idea how they got me.

Just received a missed call from this number today, and googled to find out. Curious to know what a NSW company is doing calling me in Victoria.

O_o

Yeah I also just got 2 missed calls from this No. today so Googled it and ended up here - i have nothing to do with this company (never heard of it even) and live in QLD so no idea why they are calling. I called back and got voice mail that says its a company called "our source"?? no idea!

Yeah me too. I got a missed call from (02) 8873 0900...didn't even ring that long. I called back but no one answer the phone. So I googled it and ended up here too. I registered with a few market research companies that pay you when you do surveys, products tasting and focus groups etc...may be it's one of them?

I do had a call from this number saying that they are doing some research on Nokia mobile, and they want me to take part in it. It takes about 3 hrs and get paid for it. Hopefully I am going there in first week of July for chit chatting;)

I will update you guys what happened in next comment.

Hey guys I am back, actually they rang me just then and told that they changed their rules and regulation. They want someone who downloaded 100-300 songs through Nokia 5800XM.

They situated in York St,Sydney.  

Goodluck!!

just got a missed call from that number literally 2 mins ago. After running a google search i saw this forum! So is it legit????

One of the company director's direct lines is listed in this letter from colmar brunton to the ACMA complaining about the do not call register.

hey thanks for that...interesting letter/case! Im still receiving calls from it & either ignore it or hang up! I hate market research/telemarketing calls!

Like a lot of the posts above they call every night but when we answer they say nothing and just hang up,So I Googled the number and got this site. I am on the do not call register but they obviously don't care.

Colmar Brunton are now called Your Source.  I have been registered with them for about 5 years to do paid market research.  They are a pretty decent company and I honestly don't believe they would go around cold calling people!

Somehow your number would've ended up on their list, possibly by a friend who thought you would be interested in paid market research.

They call me a lot and I don't always answer as I don't want to do market research all the time, but I can safely say they wouldn't go around cold calling people.

If you get a call from them, talk to them, they do paid market research. I once got paid $80 cash to drink beer (tasting, only about 2 glasses in total)for about an hour and a half then they gave me $20 for a cab home. I have done about  20 focus groups over the last 10 years all goow well paid in cash.
