0280036000

I received this call last night at 8:20 pm, and the caller represent himself as a Bank West, and after I asked him for his number he gave me this one: 02 8225 7439 with the name Jolly,and I do have a silent Number, what a comminication laws we have, it is pethatic!!

This number 02 8003 6000 rang at the end of the day. 5pm.  Does anyone know who this is.  Im unable to get through to it. Apparently its some form of advertising for Virgin ??

We have been getting calls from this number for at least two months, I answered one of the earlier calls and the lady tried to sell me cheap international phone calls. They called me by my Surname, which is croatian and spoke to me in Croatian. I told them we don't make international calls so No Thanks.
They still keep ringing and when I answered last they hang up on me, so now I just don't talk and hang up on them. When my husband answered one of the calls they tried to talk to him, but he hung up on them as well.

I have been harrassed by this number as well.
Everytime we pick up, there is a strange 'hello' then they hang up.
We even considered considered calling the police.
It's ridiculous.
We decided not to pick up today so we could check caller id.
I googled the number and I honeslty did not expect there would be a website dedicated to this number.
Someone needs to do something.

We have a brand new baby and are now getting these calls from 0280036000 too. We also have a silent number with carrier Telstra. I am going to try to pursue this through the ombudsman. When I had my last child we were given a recycled fax number which drove us crazy. We traced the one number that kept trying to send a fax through the telcos only to be told after 2 months that there was nothing they could do. We had to pay for a new number.

We've been getting called by this number on and off for months now, usually early evening.  My name is in the phonebook, and it is obviously of a particular European country origin, and that's the language that the caller calls in (if that makes sense!).  I pretend not to speak that language just to get rid of them.  So I think that the "cheap overseas phonecall scam" theory is right, based on my experience.

I'm in Sydney and getting calls from 02-8003-6000 almost every night at around 6:30pm.

My advice: When you see a call from a known telemarketer number, answer it, then immediately hangup (or just let the answering machine get it). Everytime you do it costs THEM money!

If everyone did this, the telemarketing effort would yield zero results and still cost the sponsor company money. Most businesses stop investing in marketing with zero results after a while - we hope!

same here call from this number 3rd day in a row now. just in case it was some weird scam i just hung up. if it keeps happening i'll call my server to get them to block it.

Only calls, no voice.. just calling ang hung off.. does anyone have any idea at whomthis no 0280036000 belongs?

I am getting this call from 0280036000 at random times. Hangs up after saying Hello. Very annoying.

I've been getting calls from this number for the past two weeks now - usually around 1830 - 1900 in the evening.  They don't leave a message if you don't pick up.  Sometimes if you do pick up they hang up.  I spoke to them last week and they identified themselves as Pulse Telecom trying to sell you a better phone plan (stating that you don't have to change provider).  I ended up telling them that my work paid for my phone bill.  I received another call from them today and they promised me they would put my number on their "do not call" list.

This is their website.... http://www.pulsetele.com.au

Even if their calls are cheaper - they way they annoy people would not make me want to join up with them.  Bloody irritating.

My boyfriend and I get calls on each of ourphones every second day or so. I didn't even pick up until the third call, and it was just an Indian woman on a line so bad I couldn't understand her! I hung up, and have got the same thing everytime I answer. I'm not going to be picking up any more.

Received a message on answering machine Mon, 11 May 2009 at c. 1:00pm in Sydney, in loud, low-quality audio:

"Will be with you shortly.......Are you interested in earning money...." in North American accent.  Then went on to say "Go to www.ccicompany.us".

Naturally, I did not give them the pleasure of seeing another sucker from this country going onto their site.

While I'm writing this, there is another call from same number! This time does not leave message.

I get these calls also ... :(

I reckon if you want to annoy TeleMarketing callers so what I do - DON'T HANG UP ... instead, press MUTE and let them use up their time (and money?).

If you have friends arond, you can even play TeleMarketing Bingo where you each pick a word or phrase and see who gets the most hits! I usually win with "Mr Andy" ... ahahhahahaha

have been getting 02 80036000 calls on my mobile for a few months now. initially answered them but either could not understand the language, or the caller would start talking mid sentence, or no one there. have not been answering them lately and they stop after about 4 rings and leave a missed call message naturally. had a call sat and yesterday. out of curiosity i decided to call the number on my landline and got a recorded message saying to press a number to choose a language from a menu. pressed 1 for english and was then informed being transferred to an operator. i hung up then as i thought they may trace my landline number. (maybe i should ring from a mates place).
will now bookmark this site and keep checking back for more info.

Received a call on my mobile from a man talking to me in Polish saying good evening madam.  I replied and kept repeating in English who is this and he eventually apologised and hung up.

Been getting these calls for the past month. Just talked to a man again but have had a woman before also. He said he was Polish  but didn't speak English enough to tell me why he calls.

Most infuriating! I am tired of getting telemarketing calls, and this takes the cake where you wonder having missed the call whether it was urgent and therefore call back. There should be a register where you can submit your contact details should you wish to receive telemarketing calls.Otherwise we should be LEFT ALONE. I can't understand why the Australian Government can't organise it that way - !!

these guys call me at least twice every tuesday without fail, wednesdays too sometimes. it's often a recorded 'hello' followed by nothing, sometimes a fax tone
