    So I stopped answering the calls altogether, and after a whole day of incessant ringing they have seemed to stop. There have been no calls the past 2 days. I know it's fun talking to them, playing the Indian National Anthem and trying to wind them up, but if you don't answer the calls they will stop!

    (Fingers crossed that they don't start again :/)

    Haven't answered the phone in 2 days and haven't received a call since. Either they they don't work weekends or they have stopped calling me.

    Hubby working nights so phone was unplugged all day Thursday and no calls since. I wonder if they made any real money from this, enough to pay everyone in the 'call centre'.

    Unfortunately, they do. Otherwise, they wouldn't keep doing it.

    I simply will not deal with ANY telesales anymore. I don't care who it is, they get hung up on.

    I can be contacted by post, by email etc. I don't really need to be dealing with some push salesperson on the phone when I'm trying to relax or work or whatever. It's very intrusive even when it's not a scam.

    Same goes for door-to-door sales.

    It's verbal spam. Unfortunately, the numbers that are displayed on your Caller ID are utter garbage as they're coming in from VoIP lines and nobody has any control over what they display.

    The best approach is to just hang up on them or don't answer the calls at all if you see a weird looking Caller ID.

    I thought this had all stopped. Neither me or people I know get these calls anymore. Maybe they've got a new batch of landline numbers to call. Doublediamond, be prepared for lots of calls every day for about a week, sometimes just minutes apart. Or try not answering for a day, now I remember it stopped when I had unplugged the phone for a day.

    I'm gonna resurrect this thread cause I came home today to discover a missed call on my landline from the 0099999999 number.

    Never had it before, with UPC and ex-directory. I hope we dont start getting a lot of these calls :/

    Luckily we've had a significant dry patch of getting no calls for this, or any number using the same scam. Worst we have to deal with now is some nothern ireland company ringing to try and get us to take lottery tickets for the matter hospital.

    Got one of these calls on Friday. I answered but they said nothing. They left a voicemail after that - again, saying nothing. Very odd. Also a UPC phone customer.

    My friends parents got a call from: 0099999999

    They did what they asked them to do (not sure exact things they were asking him), till the moment Credit card was needed. He thought this is scam and hanged up.

    they have restarted the PC and once booted it was asking for SAM password, restoring registry keys was a walk around to fix it...
