Received call and it hung up. Can't call it back not in service. Blocked on iPhone... No doubt they will call from another number next time.

So far 03 8799 5752.03 8374 3638 and now this one... Doing all the same thing.

Same as anonymous above. Got a call from 03 8725 0194, no one there when I answered. Was previously getting same thing from 03 8799 5752, so I blocked it. So guess I'll block this latest number.

Owe any money? This is mostly likely related to Baycorp Advantage or Commonwealth Bank. Poor form these companies hide behind private numbers and then use illegitimate numbers calls like this to gauge response.

I have continually had missed calls from this number, as well as 03 8799 5752 and 03 8374 3868. Each time I block one of these numbers they change to another number to call me on. They always hang up before I answer and I can't call them back as apparently the numbers don't exist. Very frustrating!

I reckon these are telemarking companies checking active lines. Just a thought, as I have been getting calls from this no too. Wonder if we would stop receiving these calls if we don't pick up, thereby fooling the system to think it's an inactive line...

Same as others, got call but missed it. Called back and got "this number is not in service". How can you call with a number not in service? Might be their answering machine to through people off...

Also getting calls from this number (which hang up) and from 8799 5752 (twice) on Saturay - in Melbourne VIC AUS. Wonder if you get charged or subscribe to something if attempting to call back.
