Yeah, I think most are foreign too.
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.
