New ozbargainer here so apologies if i do anything wrong.
I've been receiving emails and calls from an online company that I did not give my details to. It's been about 4 calls over the past fortnight and about 5 or 6 calls. I have emailed them stating that I do not wish to use their services and requesting that they delete all my information and contact details.
However, as expected it's been about 4 days, no reply and I just received another call from them.
Before you say anything, yes i have blocked their numbers locally on my phone but they manage to reach me using different numbers each time. But just for privacy reasons, I do want them to delete all my information.
Just wondering if there's any Australian law or regulatory body (like the ACCC) that can help me out in this situation because I dont think they'll stop unless I threaten them with something like that. I appreciate any help or feedback.
If it's an Australian company and you do not have a relationship with them you can register on the Do Not Call register.

If it's not Australian based or it's a charity or political type call etc., there's little or nothing you can do about it.
Eventually they may lose interest, replying to their emails or answering their calls only confirms your number is live and they'll sell it to other spammers.
Final and desperate option is change your email and phone numbers.
