they only phone the most stupid people who are more likely to hand over their cash ...

so the answer to your question is no, I haven't had any calls.

5 calls, 5 times as stupid as your regular dummy

I wonder how many calls goober gets

And you wonder why they keep ringing you?

The only unwanted call we've had on our landline in the past month was last Wednesday evening at nearly 7 o'clock. I only found out when I checked the phone a few hours later.

Googled the number and it was a survey. Not sure why they would be using an 03 number to call people in WA but there you go. Unless they really were in Victoria which would be most unusual for these types of calls.

Good old Telstra Call Guardian, the phone doesn't even ring for unwanted calls, best home phone I've ever bought.

The only other unwanted calls we've had prior to that were about 3 attempts from our own number over a period of about 2 weeks in April. The scammers will try anything to get around call blockers, etc. these days.

Found out I can block our own number as well with the Call Guardian without affecting anything else so I did that after the first 2 attempts (which went straight to the answering machine and they immediately hung up).

I only blocked our own number because I was concerned that my 90 year old aunt may have answered it if I wasn't there at the time.

They had rang me a number of times before I started pressing 1 etc, so that sfa to do with getting numerous calls.

"Nicole from the NBN" has started annoying me again. 

I usually just buy these spammers thousands of dollars in gift cards and they go away - for a while

Getting NAB emails saying that my internet banking needs updating. Wonderfully inept scam considering that I do not have an NAB account. Had received some Netflix robocall for some reason. I do not have netflix.
