Just had a call from this number - it was within 90 seconds of receiving a call from 03 9039 6566, which also seems to be some sort of telemarketing loop. Have now blocked both numbers.

I got a call from this number and a lady said she was from RP Australia and asked for me by name. She then went on to talk about increasing wealth if I have a mortgage on my home and am working. When I told her I did not work she just hung up, no thank you or good bye. I have had a number of calls from this company from different phone numbers in the last 3 or 4 months and normally they hang up as soon as I pick up and say hello. I just keep putting these numbers on my banned numbers list.

I receive about 4 calls a day whilst at work I have tried to respond to the caller and number is not in service?

I am starting to get very annoyed by these calls as when I answer there is never anyone on the line.

I don't bother answering now as I was advised, by a friend that they would stop calling if I didn't answer as my friend was getting the same calls and they stopped after a while.

It has been 6 months maybe more of continuous calling.

VERY FED UP.

I had 3 calls today UTC+11.1429.1629.1802. Didn't answer, however based on feedback already seems like an automated system checking to see if you answer. Data for companies that want to know which numbers are in service.
