I picked up the call, a guy with an Australian accent asked for me by my first name. After I told him it was she speaking, he hung up on me!

Prior to today I have been receiving calls from this number as well on another number, same first 9 digits but ending with the an "8". Each time it had rung out to voice mail but no one ever left a message. I thought I would answer it today. =(.

Had this number calling frequently over the past few days. Mainly late afternoon evening. When I call it back it rings a few times and then a voice says the number is not is use.

Same experience as others here. They call, when I answer they hang up. After the first 2 calls I blocked their number. It has now happened again through 2 other numbers, seems like they rotate their phones or something to get around the fact I blocked their original number. Everytime it happens I just block the new number.

Received about 30 calls from this number in the last 3 weeks. All other times I have either ignored call or picked up and they've hung up. Sometimes they've called about 3 times a day. Finally today I answered and a woman said she was from lifestyle solutions and offered me $20 Coles and Bunnings vouchers but only if I owned the property and then asked for financial details. I politely cut her off and said I'd received 30 or so calls from the number and could I please be taken off the list. Then her voice turned a bit sour and begrudgingly she seemed to say ok and then hung up.

Received a call from this number, offering Coles vouchers to homeowners or people with a mortgage in my area.

Said I was not interested and hung up, seemed to be seeking personal info.

I have had several calls from this number. First time I answered the woman claimed to be handing out limited amount of Bunnings or Coles vouchers to people who lived in my area. She started by giving me a spiel on how I'd get the voucher should I listed to a product information session, but first asked if I owned or rented a property followed by a financial question. I tried to tell her I was not interested but she didn't care and kept asking (should have just hung up, but too polite). Eventually I told her I had no idea about the aspects she was asking me about and she told me she'd call back later. I've now received more than 15 calls since 16/3. Ignore this number unless you want to be harassed.

I have recieved calls from this number every Wednesday for the last few weeks. They claim to be offering vouchers if you provide answers to some questions. I asked what kind of questions and she said "simple things like name and date of birth etc" this is obviously an attempt to use your identity for illegal purposes. I would reccomend using the block number feature on your phone if you have one.

A woman from 02 8404 0649 just called. She told me she was from 'Lifestyle Group' and that her colleagues are in my neighbourhood giving out Bunnings and Coles vouchers, but first she had to check if I own or rent my property.

I told her I wasn't interested and she hung up immediately.

I answered a call yesterday from a lady who explained she was from the 'Lifestyle Group' offering vouchers and coupons but first she needed to see if I was eligible to qualify. She knew my name but wanted further details. It sounded like a scam to me. When I questioned how she got my name/number she hung up.

I have been receiving a call from 02 8404 0648 for a week each afternoon and now its (02)8404 0649. I have the same complaint, calls then hangs up. When you call any of the numbers within the in dial range 02 8404 0600 - 0699 they are all not connected?

I am being called on my Samsung mobile phone and have added this number to the reject list but the number changes...

Very annoying.
