JB Mobile (optus?) promotional offer

Hi,
Have just received a telemarketing promotion from JBMobile (supposedly in
sydney, and a subsidiary or associate with optus) They are offering a
Nokia 6610i and what appears to be very good rates for 5 minute calls
throughout australia. Does anybody know if they are legitimate, and or/any
experience of this organization ? I cannot find anything out about them via
Google.
Otherwise could be interested in their offer, but dislike high pressure
telemarketing!
Thankyou in anticipation.

I too have had a gut full of telemarketers.

I will tell you of my experience. I kept getting phone calls usually at tea time about 6 to 6.30pm several times a month from a mob called Trendwest who market timeshare at the Gold Coast (Bundall business centre). This had gone on for about two years or so and I can remember shortly prior to the calls commencing I received an unsolicited letter in the mail. I threw the letter in the rubbish. I received a followup phone call about a week later and I told them I threw the letter in the bin. They tried to argue the point with me and I told them I wasn't interested in any holidays (time share).

I finally got sick of all the harassment and contacted Trendwest direct at Bundall. I told them if I received any more calls I would visit btheir office and disable their entire telephone network. They told me the calls enimated from the Philipines. I told them I didn't care where they came from that I would visit their office at Bundall and pointed to the fact that they would be very unhappy to see me.

I also found out about the ADMA web site and registered myself on the do not contact list.

A few days later I received another phone call from Trendwest this time asking to speak to my wife. I did not know it was them at first until my wife told me. I sent emails to every Trendwest contact (Aus and US) threatening retaliation. They have not contacted me or my wife since.

About a month or so ago I started receiving telemarketing calls from an Asian country (possibly India) telling me I would be receiving a free Nokia mobile phone. The company was JB Mobiles. I told them I wasn't interested. Since that first contact I have received at least four follow up calls. At about 6.15pm on 28 Oct I received another telling me I was about to receive my free Nokia mobile. I told them - NO I WASN'T and hung up. This afternoon about 12.30pm I received another call from JB Mobiles. I told them quite firmly I wasn't interested and asked who the carrier was. I was told OPTUS. I told them I again wasn't intersested and the fact that I was on the ADMA do not contact list and I believed Optus were members of the ADMA. I also told them I regarded their calls as harassment and if I received any further calls I would locate the neareszt OPTUS mobile phone tower and disable it. I told them to pass the message on. I also contacted OPTUS in Australia and told them the same thing. JB Mobiles is a subsidiary company of OPTUS.

You wouldn't believe this but whils't I was typing this message I received another call attempting to sell me a mobile. Again it appeared the call came from India. The company started with M. I was too annoyed to get the full details. I asked the carrier and was told it was OPTUS. I told them my story including my retialiation threat. The called agreed to contact the supervisor and have me taken off the list.

THEY HAD BETTER DO SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realise that you're frustrated, but you really ought not to make threats
like that -- even if you have no intention of carrying them out. You could
get yourself into quite serious trouble.

Probably better off just to tell them to FUCK OFF!

That's exactly the wording I used with them (I'm usually mild
mannered). Haven't heard from them again.
