03-8414-5608

Several calls from this number to my mobile in the past week. Every time I answer they hang up and when I have tried to call back the number is always busy. Seriously getting annoyed.

Several missed calls from this number in the past week.. I do not answer and they do not leave a message... I've tried to call them back but the number is always busy... I will continue to ignore their calls after reading these posts so thank you!

This is the number from Communication Direct Pty Ltd who is handling the raffle for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Centre. I have to think that Olivia is not aware of how rude these people are who are doing their calling, hanging up, and persisting with their script when told by me that I do not accept offers over the phone, only in writing. Note that this is a dot-com not a dot-org, so they are a  for profit agent that will then be selling your name to other telemarketers.

I also refuse to buy raffle tickets (much less sell them) from agents as there is no accountability- people can sell them, toss the slip and then pocket the money so the charity and the ticket buyer are both cheated. Raffle tickets should only be bought direct from the charity and not through any agent.

The website is here:

The site says:
   Telephone our Raffle Ticket hotline (03) 8414 5699.
   Email your contact details and interest in purchasing raffle tickets to support the Olivia raffle to: admin@communicationdirect.com.au
   Download the raffle ticket form to complete with payment and return to:
   Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Centre
   Raffle Department
   P.O.Box 2717
   Fitzroy Business Centre
   Victoria 3065

The staff members of Communications Direct Pty Ltd have also breached privacy by forwarding detailed customer call records outside the company.

I tell them I have a gambling problem and that really gets their knickers in a bind, as they are required to direct you to help (and hopefully will not call you again).

Got a call no message left

Originally I got a missed call from this number 0384145608.  After reading these comments, I ignored the constant calls that I got every second days. In the 3rd week I answered it, the female caller requested for donations for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer charity. I told her, 'No thanks!'.
Now waiting to see if the calls will stop.  

This is for CommunicationS direct...different company

They're still at it. No joy from Telstra; oh no, they haven't the technology to block that number from my type of phone. Left a message on 8414 5699, TWICE, talking to actual people, telling them to stop calling me. I've no idea how they got my mobile number in the first place. Losers. Talk about how NOT to get donations.

Do Not know who it is

just got the call, read the threads thanks for the heads up...unfortunately as soon as you give your number to anyone out there in the business world it can then potentially be on sold from their database to marketing companies :( So next time you give your number to a random retailer, card in a bowl to win a prize etc etc...remember that it could fall into the hands of telemarketing.

For all of the believers in the spam act..note the word POTENTIAL

This number is from the Olivia Newton John Wellness Centre charity. Been trying for the last year or so to get details removed from their list but for some reason it doesn't seem to get through their thick skulls that I don't want to buy raffle tickets so they continue to HARASS! And that's what it is, harassment.

Rang left no message rang back and some one trying to raise money- I don't trust it

Olivia Newton-John Cancer Council, asking if I can either sell raffle tickets for them, or if not just buy some. These guys do not give up.

Called me on my mobile. No message just that got a missed call. Trying to block them now

Received numerous missed calls from this numbers..... called back to receive the voice mail. I blocked the number, however, received a voicemail from a lady which said "Don't call me back, just p"%$ off". Weird.

23/4/14 answered phone at 5.24pm, only to be hung up on without a word?

I have had two phone calls from this number in the past 4 days claiming they sent me raffle tickets.  I have not seen them and told them that on the first phone call.  After telling them again I did not have tickets the female tried to sell them over the phone to me.  I have asked they remove me from their mail/phone list.  Interesting they have my name mobile and work address.
