Timeh Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Spoof numbers. They arent even in the UK most likely. Just tell them to hang on a moment while you close the door then just leave the phone on a table, go back in 5 mins and they will have gone.

oasismark Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Oh i just put the phone down, but getting annoyed with it ringing all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeh Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I know what you mean, it gets stupid at times but i learned to have fun with them. Now they dont call anymore and i actually miss the occasional call from 'John' selling me random stuff. If youre reading this from Pakistan, John. Call back, im sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The call centre capital of South Yorkshire. So presumably its Ventura (now Capita) or one of the other call centres ringing you up to sell you something.

Cenobite Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 You should be able to block them depending on which phone you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oasismark Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 You should be able to block them depending on which phone you have. Yes i block each one, but its just the last 3 numbers that keep changing, im sure there all from the same place, cant be a coincidence that they are all 01709276*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cenobite Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 My phone has an option to block (Starts with, Ends with,etc) So I just put first 4 numbers in, that stops them all. They can change the end numbers but they don't get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbeliever Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It's worth registering with TPS. Doesn't eliminate the problem completely, but reduces it a lot and you can report people who call you anyway which is somewhat satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I've been getting loads of PPI calls in the last couple of months - really annoying. Numbers on my mobile phone about 14 separate numbers. I keep telling them, and they say they will take my number from their database but then some other company rings me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
