Hi Guys

I have been getting these calls since yesterday from a UK Number they never leave s Voice Mail and as I do not know anyone in the UK I do not answer. Anyone know what these numbers are who they are heard of recent scams and If it was a Legit Company like Ulster Bank or UPC they would leave a message

Numbers in question are

00441234270025
00448453373183

Thanks.

Mad suggestion here.

Have you tried calling them back?

Some cold callers use robots to ring you and when you answer they put you through to a cold caller.

I got a call from an English number asking me to do a survey.
I told them no, then looked up the relevant English legislation.

You can register for free here Telephone Preference Service Link to remove yourself from any English cold calling list.

I put in my Irish mobile number... not sure if it'll work, but I'll definitely quoting them English legislation if they ring back and put in a complaint.

Don't call them back incase it's a premium phone line scam.

Just answer the next time they call (or if they hang up after only one ring then it's definitely a scam).

The first number is dead.

The second number is ICM direct marketing, who apparently are not trying to sell you something op.

/thread.

(I'm sending my phone bill to you btw)

Hell No it could cost me a fortune if it is a scam + as I said if they are a Legit company they would leave a message. I also do not open my Hall Door unless I am expecting someone asit is always someone trying to sell you something

You could get the operator to reverse the charges.

Is there still an operator or have I just made myself look incredibly old and out of touch?

Just answer it next time- you can't be murdered and hacked into little pieces over the phone!

It's probably not Nusence if it's an English number. They're in California.
