851139 2010-01-23 04:41:00 Over the last two days I have received 3 calls from BIDNZ (some crappy auction site). Obviously with their number hidden.

They demand to know my number and email address. Twice I have declined and told them no. But enough is enough.
This is nothing short of harassment. It was the same person calling all three times.

I will be lodging a complaint with telecom on monday.

Anyone else get a call(s) from them?

Should have made the title Bidnz are scum, Just for the google of it.

851141 2010-01-23 04:57:00 They rang me a couple of weeks ago and I hung up on the idiot, who wanted my email address too. Bugger that!

Hasn't called back though :)

Interestingly Flagfox indicates the server is located at Mt Eden Prison! :D

That would explain a lot!

851144 2010-01-23 05:41:00 Brilliant. We all pay for the calls these criminals use to harass us! Simply brilliant! Cato (6936)
851145 2010-01-23 05:41:00 After a quick search, it looks like the guy behind BidNZ is the same guy who has been responsible for a number of scams (NZBOL, NZBO, and other "online directories" which send small business invoices for a "renewal" of a service they never subscribed to).

Just give them the email address of one of the forum's spammers. ;) :D

851147 2010-01-23 06:53:00 Or copy one of the addresses of one of the spammers we get :blush: bob_doe_nz (92)
851148 2010-01-24 05:38:00 If giving them your email address means that they will stop calling you, why not give them a third party address?

Have a look at mailinator.com where you can make up any address that you want. Tell him your address is anything@mailinator.com and all the mail will go there, not to you.

I have used mailinator for years. Have a look at their site. I'm certain that you will like the idea.
