Re: mysterious calls
Would you not phone the company and see if they have a no registered that is phoning you or is that possible

Re: mysterious calls
I've had this before...ive answered once and its supposedly a company trying to settle my debts. usually an asian/offshore accent. i suspect its a scam as they dont even know who lives at our house...they just ask for names of random people

Re: mysterious calls
It's companies, usually marketing spoofing the caller ID in an attempt to get around people with anon caller reject

We're on TPS and we get a few. The most common one is a recorded message about how I've won a cruise and to press 3 (I think) if I want to claim it. When you dial 1471 it comes back as a load of zero's. I had another where it was an Indian guy who said he worked for Sky ringing because their was a fault with our box. He asked if I could just confirm my name, address and account number. I strung him along for a while before breaking it to him gently that I don't have Sky and he just hung up. I suspect it was one of the fake Sky warranty / repair scams that have been around for a while. |

Re: mysterious calls
Iv had similar but the number given is 049

Re: mysterious calls
Also had a silent call from 049 recently. My parents also had a silent call from a number beginning 06 a day or so ago. The US are now passing laws making the use of spoofed numbers illegal. The sooner we follow suit the better
