extaxman Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I've been getting a lot of phone calls which just stop as soon as I pick up the reciever. When I do 171 to find out who has phoned it's always an 0845 number. Needless to say Idon't phone it back. BE WARNED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obelix Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Be warned about what? A phone call that you don't answer that doesnt cost you anything? Or am I missing something here..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extaxman Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Sorry to raise this again but yesterday I got a phone call from a mobile number. As i did not recognise the number I dialled 1471. Guess what it was an 0845 number! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little tank Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Try putting the number on the site "who called me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottf Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I just google the number, it usually tells you if it's a spam call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeG Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I very often ignore the landline. If they dont leave a message - its a scam. If its friends or family, they'll leave a message or phone my mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamrocker Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 You will get a lot of that ,the call centers "block"dial i.e a lot of numbers at once ,they then proceed to talk to the first one who answers the rest get ignored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
