Telemarketing Reports for 9003 8226

The caller identified as a market research company, which is particularly notable because the contributor is registered on Australia's Do Not Call Register and should not have received unsolicited marketing calls.
The timing of the call from 9003 8226 was especially frustrating for this contributor, who was in the middle of driving someone to hospital emergency at the time and was not in a position to handle unwanted sales contact.
What the Caller from 9003 8226 Claimed
The contributor reports that 9003 8226 identified as a market research company.

The caller did not appear to verify Do Not Call Register status before placing the call.
Why This Call Matters
The Do Not Call Register exists to protect Australian residents from unwanted telemarketing contact. When registered contributors receive marketing calls from 9003 8226 or any other number, it indicates either a breach of the register or the caller's failure to check it before dialling. Calls to numbers registered on the Do Not Call Register are illegal unless the organisation has prior explicit consent from the recipient or falls into a narrow exemption category.

Rang me on a saturday afternoon, I was expecting a call as I was driving someone to hospital emergency. To say I was incensed to find out it was some market research company (I am on the do not call register) I let fly quite a few expletives then hung up.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 9003 8226 allowed to call me if I'm on the Do Not Call Register?
No. If you are registered on the Do Not Call Register, organisations must not call you with unsolicited telemarketing, including market research calls. The Do Not Call Register is a legal protection. If 9003 8226 called you despite your registration, this may be a breach. Check your registration status at donotcall.gov.au and report the call to ACMA at acma.gov.au if it occurred after you registered.
What should I do if 9003 8226 keeps calling me?
Block the number immediately on your phone to prevent future calls from 9003 8226. If the same number or organisation continues calling despite requests to stop, report it to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au). Repeated calls after you've asked to be removed may constitute harassment.
Can market research companies call me on weekends?
Market research calls are still telemarketing and must comply with the Do Not Call Register. If 9003 8226 called you on a weekend without prior explicit consent, and you are registered on the Do Not Call Register, this is likely a breach regardless of the day or time.
What information should I have ready if I report 9003 8226?
When reporting 9003 8226 to ACMA or the Do Not Call Register, have ready: the date and time of the call, what the caller said they represented (e.g., 'market research company'), whether they asked for any personal information, and confirmation that you are registered on the Do Not Call Register. This helps investigators determine whether a breach occurred.
Who should I report 9003 8226 to first?
You can report 9003 8226 to either ACMA (acma.gov.au) or the Do Not Call Register (donotcall.gov.au). ACMA investigates breaches and can take enforcement action. The Do Not Call Register also accepts complaints. You can also add your report to Reverseau so other contributors can see the pattern of calls from this number.

Visit donotcall.gov.au and check your phone number. If you're not registered, you can add your number to the register to protect yourself from unsolicited telemarketing calls like the one from 9003 8226. Registration is free and permanent unless you choose to remove your number.
