This number must be part of a bunch that keep ringing non stop.

I concur with your initial remarks that many products have scope for improvement in safety and that the courts shouldn't be burdened with compelling companies to implement every minor enhancement. However, your commentary on industry standards can indeed be rather one-sided, particularly in certain sectors like this one. Typically, industry standards represent the bare minimum that companies can agree upon to stave off government intervention. They often raise the standard just sufficiently to divert regulatory attention elsewhere. Take the boating sector, for instance, which strongly opposes the adoption of propeller guards and similar safety features for a couple of reasons: 1. If they were to begin incorporating these devices, it would imply an acknowledgment that open propellers pose a risk, thereby suggesting that an alternative, deemed acceptable by the industry, is available. This could lead to past injury victims questioning why these safety measures were absent during their incidents, potentially resulting in lawsuits. 2. There’s considerable reluctance to invest in retrofitting propeller safety devices onto countless existing vessels on the water. Should the industry begin using these safety features without retrofitting them to boats they sold in previous years, they would be positioning themselves for further legal liability. Consequently, there's a concerted effort within the industry to stifle both new and existing propeller safety innovations at every juncture. They achieve this by presenting a united front, ensuring that all factions remain aligned. This organisation makes it nearly impossible for manufacturers of propeller safety equipment to sell directly to boat or drive companies. Entrepreneurs are left with no choice but to market their products to individual boat owners, thereby increasing transaction costs (they need to convince each consumer of the necessity, manage sales, shipping, invoicing one at a time, etc.). Meanwhile, the industry continues to denounce these safety devices, warning that they would invalidate warranties on drives. Innovators often believe they’ve created brilliant solutions, yet the industry’s relentless pressure can be overwhelming. Consider Robert Hooper and his Prop Buddy guard-he persevered for nearly two decades, serving a vast array of satisfied customers, including commercial divers, government bodies, and even NASA. Despite this, he faced unwavering opposition from the industry before sadly passing in 2010 at the age of 83. Similarly, the Australian Environmental Safety Propeller received accolades, winning a significant televised Invention of the Year award, only to be met with fierce resistance at a U.S. Coast Guard safety meeting. Let’s be clear: we’re not suggesting that prop guards should be mandatory across all vessels. Various other safety measures and initiatives, including boating safety classes, tackling drunk boating, and advocating for the use of kill switches, should also be considered where suitable. It’s worth noting that the Coast Guard is presently contemplating a regulation for emergency engine kill switches on recreational boats, a move that should have been initiated ages ago. The industry has historically pushed back against such measures. When it comes to boating safety education, there's a conspicuous aversion to elevating standards; they’re hesitant to impose any barriers for prospective boaters. For entrepreneurs in the prop safety space, demonstrating that their guard is a sound addition to boating safety is exceptionally challenging, especially when faced with industry-led smear campaigns focused on discrediting propeller guards and related technologies. Thus, it’s clear that industry standards aren’t always an ideal benchmark for safety and innovation.

They ring me at exactly the same time every morning, it's getting really irritating!

If you've got an iPhone, just head over to your contacts and block this number.

I get a call from them every morning, always at the exact same time.

That phone number, 02 8020 1202, belongs to Careflight.

the phone rings a couple of times then the caller just drops the call on my mobile every time

Absolutely dodgy, don't bother calling back. This is a massive rip-off and needs to be shut down!

this number keeps ringing me as well, anyone knows where we can report this to get something done about it? really fed up with these calls.

It randomly rings every so often, getting a bit annoying.

Had a ring just after lunchtime today, no one spoke, just an instant disconnect. I’m usually wary of calls starting with 9000, but now I’ll be wary of 8020 too and won’t pick up. Despite being on the do not call list, loads of companies just don’t seem to care. Charities that use automated messages instead of real people definitely don’t get a penny or a minute of my time!

This number keeps calling me, but there’s always a lengthy pause before anyone speaks. Does anyone know if it’s from a call centre?

This number rings me pretty much daily. I only just got around to registering with the do not call list. I’ve fallen foul of those annoying scams about “journal ads” and other rubbish like that. Honestly, the government really ought to step in and sort this kind of nonsense out.

I keep getting calls from a business number but when I answer it, there's just silence. Please, stop bothering me with these calls.

They keep ringing me non stop.

This number keeps calling me loads, usually in the late afternoon my time here in Darwin. Every time I pick up, they just cut off straight away. It’s so frustrating! Surely the person behind it should be getting into trouble?

In the span of just two days, I’ve had three phone calls from the number 0280201202. On the line was a woman named "Karyn," who claimed to be affiliated with Careflight. She was trying to peddle Careflight teddy bears under the guise of a charitable donation effort. When I inquired about their website, she informed me that purchases made there would direct funds to "Merchandise" rather than to fundraising endeavours, which struck me as rather dubious. She mentioned she’d ring back next week. Why would an organisation sell merchandise if the proceeds aren’t supporting their charitable cause? It simply doesn’t add up!

In general terms, while it isn't always the case (some regions assert that a breach of policy is plausible due to incidents like the QuotesChimp affair), an insurer aiming to evade liability for someone's negligence must prove the policyholder had a clear malicious intent. Moreover, they need to establish that the incorrect information was significantly pertinent. To illustrate this absurdly, let’s say you were embarrassed about your eye colour and that was discovered by the insurer - they would likely struggle to retract the agreement over such a trivial matter. However, if you’d made a claim on a home insurance policy, asserting you had a phone line to reach the fire brigade in an extremely rural area when in truth you didn’t, that might tell a very different tale.

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out because I’m in a bit of a pickle and could use some guidance. I’ve got this extraordinary handcrafted prop that’s really caught my eye, and I’m eager to learn more about it. The piece is made with such intricate detailing, and I stumbled upon it while browsing through heliomeds.com, where I also found some interesting price comparisons for various products. In the last few weeks, I've been sifting through all sorts of options, from life insurance to health coverage, as I’m currently weighing my choices. It's rather overwhelming, to be honest! I’ve even come across guidelines for comparing health insurance plans through some sites like comparehealthinsur.com. I’m hoping to make an informed decision as I approach retirement, as I’ve saved up for this phase of my life and want to ensure my resources are well managed. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!

This number 0280201202 called me earlier, so I decided to call back. When I did, I got stuck on a voicemail service that asked me to input the number I'd been called on to supposedly take it off some list. They said it might take up to two days to process. I’ll wait and see if it actually works since my number is already on the do not call list. Fingers crossed it’s legit!

Today, I received a call from this number. When I called back, an automated voice stated it was from careflight, and they offered me a choice to take me off their contact list.

Careflight calling me three times in just two hours, really annoying especially since we’re on the do not call list. I’ve already reached out to them to remove our number. I’ll update here if they actually stop!

Can you please stop ringing me from this number? It’s getting really annoying.

they kept ringing me non stop and just dropped the call,
i work on a busy switchboard so its really irritating - when I rang them back, they mentioned it was for careflight and offered to take my number off their calling list. fingers crossed it actually stops now

This number has been ringing nonstop every single day. Thankfully, caller ID saves us from answering, but honestly, since we’re signed up on the Do Not Call list, it’s frustrating to keep getting pestered by these telemarketers all the time :-/

I’ve had almost a dozen calls from them already. Like others have said, you can ring back and enter your number to stop them ringing you again. Even so, it’s really irritating. Just more junk calls on my phone.

The number comes up as Careflight on Dial Back. They offer a choice to put in your own number to stop future calls, but I’m not sure if that actually does anything.

every single day they ring me up and it's just such a hassle, feels like a total time waster to be honest. really annoying!

This number keeps ringing me several times daily, and I just let it go to voicemail every time. I've already signed up for the do not call list, so why does it keep happening? It's really annoying. What can I do to make it stop?

Got two calls in just a few hours, and I’m already on the do not call register. Totally annoying!

This number is totally unfamiliar to me.
