| 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? |

| 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). See: www.nzherald.co.nz tvnz.co.nz |

| 851146 | 2010-01-23 06:48:00 | They demand to know my number and email address. Twice I have declined and told them no. But enough is enough. 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. |
