Strange phone calls

[Deleted User] · 2014-04-26 19:53:22

Not sure if this is the right forum but today and yesterday I received a phone call on my home landline - the number comes up as unavailable. When answered nobody seems to be on the other end of the line and then an automated voice says goodbye and the call ends. Anyone else get these calls?

Probably computers checking when you answer so a LIVE operator can ring back and bother you!!! (We get them also)

And if it turns out to be some guy calling to try some scam then I will gladly oblige by giving my name as

Mr. Fake Guy
123 Fake Street
Faketon

I will be banking with the well established Bank of Faketon too
