0383834900

Same here. This number just called me but it is Sat!!! And I remember it even came up at 9PM!!! God, if they really want to do the survey why don't they call at a proper time????

Oh, I didn't know this is a junk call. This is the first time I receive call from this number. I shall block it then.

The only way to stop it is dont asnswer your phone, programme the number in your phone under do not answer, sooner or later they will get the message that people arnt going to answer, mite take them 100 calls because theyve got no brains. Simple, just dont answer the phone. im doing it now as soon as i see the number i just let it ring until the next time. if they cant answer their fone when i ring their number im not answering mine it works both ways. Or better still go to the media like today tonight  or talk to your local newspaper about running a story so everyone else knows not to speak to these idiots

said they were doing a road safety survey on behalf of the Department of Infrastructure Tas. !!!??? Wouldn't tell me who they worked for - only that they claimed to be a contractor of the Tas Govt and were in Melbourne.

Its Sunday afternoon 2:45PM July 2011

I just reciecd a call from 03 8383 4900
telling me they are the Australian Roads and transport office ...
What!!
- I asked her for a ID so I Can phone her back
and telling this person - Its SUNDAY afternoon
and - No GOV. office is open - who are YOU ?
They hung up on me .......

thank you for your clear response with precise actions included.Thankyou for everyone who treats anyone who makes unsolicited phone-calls in the same way, be that rude to ignore (which inevitably leads to re-calls until you do answer) The same being 'not interested', after listening to the first line just in-case there IS a bargain to hot to miss. Now everyone can realise that that sometimes a little clear polite response in the beginning is best as opposed to the amber gong to red-hot boiling point before you answer the unknown number, the fourth time they have called, and blowing their head off with abuse. And as you say there could in fact something interesting and someone might actually be interested in what you have to say.

yep got a call no message

They speak Vietnamese language

You may have no life. But I do. I do not appreciate people randomly calling me day in day out.
It's in bad taste. You sound as though you work for the company.
Some people are also a lot smarter than yourself, and can sense danger in terms of fraud etc.
Enjoy.
Now what's your number so I can call you

This is the number for Social Research held by Australian Government. You are receiving the call because they have your number selected for their research to improve Social Services. They have your number on the system to be called because either you have been in Center Link or either  had an assistance for looking work. They mean no harm.

I am also receiving calls from them but its just wrong timing everytime they call...

Just got a call from this number at 6:40pm on a Friday night. I don't answer strange numbers so I hope they don't try to call me back.

An earlier post, 23 Nov 2011, says this is a number for Social Research held by Australian Government. They call every day and even today, Sunday, midday on our family day! They leave no message. We just see the missed calls.

If they were doing research on behalf of the Govt. research, leaving a message would be the right thing to do!

When you return the call, you get a recorded message that they are:

http://www.srcentre.com.au/
Their free number: 1800-023-040

The only service they're improving is to keep themselves in a job!

If you get my number from a government department or randomly generate it, you can call me any time buddy. Especially if it's in the public interest.
I await your call. Teehee.

tell these people to get lost and get a life!!

It's not hard to pick up and let them know you're not interested. I work in social research and I get people likely screaming at me all day when all I'm trying to do a gather information for a legitimate entity. This information genuinely assists the government so congratulations on being a total waste of life. Maybe next time you can answer and say "please don't call me again, I'd like to be taken out of your database as I don't do studies over the phone". That's all it takes: being polite isn't hard.

I also work in social research. Maybe 1 in 200 people I speak to actually get mad that I've called them.
If a phone call is enough to make you get white-hot with rage I suggest some anger management classes!

no message

I get calls from this number constantly it is getting beyond a joke... However I had answered once and they said they where from some national survey company. I said I didn't have time and hung up.

Thanks alot guys for this message board this number has only been calling me after 6:30 pm and has been on saturdays aswell. I thought this was ridiculous as no business' usually call those times. i havent answered it alot like other people on this site i dont answer calls unless i know them or i call them back if they leave a voicemail which these guys obviously never do.

just to also post to all those people that say its polite to answer and tell them not to call i have done this many times before to different companies along the same lines and doesnt actually work. as many people have also said they are not doing government surveys because they call at ridiculous times and no government business is open after hours..... and people that do not tell you names or where they are from are not real companies. I work in a call center and if you refuse any information like this you would pretty much get warnings then get fired. you add fuel to the fire if you refuse to give information. Do you people this its nice getting phone calls when you finish work and are getting dinner ready almost same time every night? or even weekends when its your time to relax... no so why do it to other people
