| 845952 | 2010-01-16 04:59:00 | A long time back someone mentioned an agency that you can regiser with to stop receiving these phone spam calls. I have been inundated with calls recently from (very) Indian callers tying to interest me in a NZ auction site (I won't put the site as I refuse to advertise them). When I asked how to get off their list, they requested an email address and a mobile number. I laughed heartily. If anyone can tell me who the call-blocking agency were and how they work, I will be eternally grateful. Found it :) Here (http://www.marketing.org.nz) - but I don't think they can help me as this call very definitely came from an overseas call centre. But I might try them anyway.... |

They are obviously a scam, because what company would hang up, when you ask to speak to their manager. They have said they are an Australian travel company. I see that whocallsme.com that they have also pissed off other people. At least I have got caller display so I can vet the call. If you could vet the caller it would be helpful in future. (In the same way that unlucky cats or dogs get vetted.) |

I have been inundated with calls recently from (very) Indian callers tying to interest me in a NZ auction site (I won't put the site as I refuse to advertise them). Let me guess, starts with 'a' ends in 'z' and has a 'd' in the middle? Glad you didn't post their name or website - why give them free advertising. :mad: However, there is very interesting reading to be had here (scambusters.co.nz) about that website and its owner. It is such a classy website this is what they have under the "About" page - This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from. You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.. Not surprised they left this page blank. :rolleyes: Dodgy, dodgy .... |

Actually no. It starts with a 'b, ends in 'z' and has a 'd' in the middle. Having given the caller a piece of my mind, I think she has encouraged others to call me. Got a call last night (Sunday) at 10pm selling me vouchers for holidays anywhere in NZ/Oz for A$119. Now she really got a roasting. But as I told her at the end of the call, I had probably saved 5 or 6 other people from listening to her drivel :D |
