    I think there's a fair chance this is either a scam, or a piece of dodgy sales lead work (where guys are actually trying to identify qualified clients to sell to genuine solar firms).

    Anyway, sounds like you need a coffee buskerdog?

    We are registered on ACMA’s ‘Do Not Call’ register.
    Our registration is live to 2020.
    We are paying Telstra for a silent non-listed number.
    Still getting annoying sales calls.
    Guess the caller is using a computer program to dial until the program finds a ‘valid’ number which is answered.
    Any suggestions how to get rid of these unwanted calls?
    Cheers.
    I'm on the do not call register and simply don't get this type of call, haven't had one in years.
    As Barry says, strange first post.

    Interesting choice of first post Buskerdog Are you sure that 'Solar Energy' are a real firm, and that these guys aren't actually scammers after credit card details etc?

Collating of personal data of citizens is happening right now, and it is global. Remember, just because you're not paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not after you.

    Oh cynical me.
    I hope you were joking. If not... seek help. And... worry as much as you want but here's a clue... the authorities already know who you are, where you live, etc... I think that it would be hard for the ATO or Centrelink (probably more applicable here) et al to operate otherwise. Try hiding if it makes you feel better but it really doesn't achieve anything and... unless you plan on becoming a mass murderer... hiding your DNA seems rather pointless as well. And using it as an excuse to avoid giving blood smacks of selfishness quite in character... so please tell me you were joking.

    I hear sexually transmitted diseases are freely available in Mumbai at surprisingly affordable rates.

    You should ask for their private number so you can call them back while they are having their dinner.

    Any others are fair game. I'm retired and I will happily waste half an hour of their time asking them personal questions and making observations about the state of the world.

    Good idea to register your mobile as well.
    if you use a valid e-mail address you should get a reminder notification to renew the registration.
