Telemarketing calls sit in a different category from scams: the caller usually is who they say they are, and what they're selling is legal — but the calls can still be relentless, pushy, and hard to stop. This page lists Australian numbers the EndSpam community has reported as telemarketing: sales pitches, charity drives, survey calls, and "you've won a prize" follow-ups. Each number links to its public report history so you can see how often it calls and what people are being offered before you pick up or call back.
Australia regulates this space. Most telemarketing calls to numbers on the Do Not Call Register are prohibited, callers must identify themselves and their organisation on request, and persistent offenders can be reported to the ACMA. In practice those rules are enforced after the fact — which is exactly why a community record of which numbers keep calling matters. It is the evidence a complaint is built from.
A few practical notes from the report histories on this site. Answering and asking to be removed from a call list sometimes works, but it also confirms your number is live — expect the next campaign to try it too. A number that keeps calling after you've asked it to stop is precisely what belongs in this register. And silent or abandoned calls from outbound diallers show up here as well: the system gives up before you answer, but the number still lights up phones across a suburb.
If a "telemarketing" call ever asks for payment, personal details, or remote access, treat it as a scam call instead — the categories blur, and the scam playbook is the safer one.
What to do about telemarketing calls
- Register your number on the Do Not Call Register. It takes effect within 30 days and covers most legitimate telemarketers.
- Ask who's calling. Legitimate callers must identify their organisation on request; evasion is a red flag.
- Ask to be removed from the call list, and note the date and number if they keep calling — that record is the basis of an ACMA complaint.
- Don't confirm personal details to an inbound caller, even a polite one. "Just verifying your address…" is a data-collection pattern.
- Persistent caller? Block the number and add a report here so the next person recognises it before answering.
