Unsolicited Marketing Texts from +61 418 716 920 (Oak Road Estate)

I don't usually give out my number to unknown/dodgy sites but a family member and I both started receiving spam SMS from 0418 716 920.

The links point to Oak Road Estate (The Wine Group) and many people online are complaining about their relentless marketing calls/texts.

Some say even if you ask them to remove your number or reply STOP, they will still call/text you.

Does anyone know how they got our numbers? Is anyone else experiencing the same?

    Just block the number if it's always the same. Not worth even wasting your time posting about it really. You'll never find the source of the leak.

    • I was hoping someone could shed some light…

      According to others, they keep changing their number so blocking will not solve this. :(

      • they do .. for a while i was getting random calls where they must have had every number from same area code, and first 4 numbers - but kept changing from 001 - 500 over few weeks

        now getting more randoms from mobiles, but dont answer anything I dont know anymore

    • Yeah, I saw that already. Thanks.

  • If you opt out and continue to recevie these messages then simply tell them you are going to report them to ACMA.
    ACMA can (and does) issue substantial financial penalties on companies that fail to observe opt out requests

    Revenge is sweet………Their office number is listed as 03 8551 3300, so every loyal OZ'ber Should bombard them with telephone calls. Just say "hello, its payback time" and then hang up.
    Dont forget to prefix their telephone number with 1831 and then this will mask your telephone number at their end

    They don't care if you say you will report them, they continue what they are doing anyway.
