Sounds like this company cooperate with DNCR to drive people to there

can some one stop these buggers!!!!!!

I keep getting calls from this number. Most of the time there is no one on the other end when I answer. I strongly suspect they are checking to see what time of day i am answering so they can try some more tele-marketing  [***] on me. Astron Communication can blow goats in hell!

Having received several calls from this number under the same circumstances described above i did some digging. Please refer to the link in this post relating to an infringement by this company issued by the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority).

I STRONGLY suggest that all incidents of contact by this number recorded in detail and complaints lodged with ACMA and the TIO. Lets get this mob shut down.

"Highly Impossible"?????

A company that has a past track record of breaking the rules???

Just some light reading for you: http://www.acma.gov.au/webwr/_assets/main/lib ... undertaking.pdf

Like i said... They (possibly you??) did it before, you really think they wont do it again??

to suggest that this blog is "incorrect and laughable" suggests to me that you really are out of touch, but then you worked for astron. Perhaps this is indicitive of the entire staff??

thank god for this website!! i am a receptionist and love this site!  just had a call from these people asking for our email address.. Before I gave them the whole address, I noticed from all you lovely people they spam.  So I quickly changed the ending of the email. phew!

They also said they were Astron.  When asked how many lines we have and I said I dont feel I need to share that. I was told. Can you just say one or two lines in the office.  No I can not.  Good day.

Sure Mark, everyone here has been setting up a conspiracy agaisn't a company we never heard of.  You caught us.. Shucks. We've been sprung.. We all get together for tea and scones once a week and pick a company to whine about..

I dont deny the way you explained their method should be working. But Honestly, If so many people over so long a time are having the same complaints. Doesnt' that tell you something..... like it's not working the way you claim it should be?

I keep getting calls from this number!!! I tried answering twice but no one was there.  Getting so sick of it and I'm not about to call them back!!!

I have been receiving, about twice a day calls from this number for the last few weeks.

I've been receiving calls from this number too, almost every day since the past 2 weeks!

i get calls regularly from this number - is there some way I can stop this?

This number is from Astron Communications: www.astron.net.au.  If you call them on 1300  72 42 72, they will keep you on hold for 15 mins, and then hang up on you!

Receive many calls from this number I just don't hang up for 10-20mins keeping their line open but it hasn't stopped these people. But here in Australia 8208 is an Optus telephone number not Telstra i think we should start emailing complaints to Optus australia to cancel this fellow from having a phone number on their service.

I let them listen to music and hope for telstra to collect call cost from them

I receive calls almost hourly everyday from this number. It is driving me crazy. They never leave a message either !!!

Get a call from this number and say hello for three full minutes without response, the go quiet and it hangs up- I dial back and find out its a place called Astron Communications

I also have issues with this number and did a google search and found it on a seek.com.au advertisement. the details were as follows: Michael Karikis on 02 8206 9888 (Ext. 7700)
If you are having issues with this number perhaps this gentleman may be able to assist.

I had a message from this number. Sounded like an old dude, lots of noise (kids etc) in the background. He kept saying "Hello. Hello? Hello" then he hung up.
Call was around lunchtime on a Friday

This number keeps ringing, I answer it and it goes to music then a recording and when you hang up it stays connected for a long time afterwards.

Someone should do something about this company. They call my home phone every morning, afternoon and evening including the weekend. I ask them do not call this number again because I have babies at home. However, they still keep calling everyday. I feel crazy about this.
