RedM Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 For days now I've been getting calls from this number: 08000641081 AS many as three times per day. A quick Google reveals that it's not worth answering. Just letting you all know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I get them every day... your coming to the end of your contract etc. I just hang up... I do feel for the peeps that have to cold call for a living though.. must be awful.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Funny - I just had one from 02920 368700. Google shows this up as scammers. Just registered with TPS to hopefully prevent nuisance calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 talking of nuisance calls, if you get tyres at Kwikfit and they ask for your phone number when you pay, DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 call after call, do you want kwikfit car insurance, and they just don't give up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Strange, I've had no calls from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 call after call, do you want kwikfit car insurance, and they just don't give up! I had a phonecall from them. I just said I don't have time. So she asked if it would be better if she called back next day? I said don't bother calling me again. And they never did. I found it suspicious when I had to give my phonenumber, next time I just make something up. If I ever use them again that is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I get nuisance calls all the time. My mum. My dad. My sister. Mike. They've got the message now - I screen all calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 best thing to do is if they say " is so or so there" just say i will go and get them for you and just leave the phone on. They soon get the message after bout 15 minutes waiting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Game always used to ask for your name and address when returning computer games too, I gave a lot of fake addresses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Yeah you get that in most shops for returning stuff, but for buying stuff, at ASDA? Yeah no idea. I think they take your details now when buying a telly now don't they, to report to TV licensing? Maybe it was something like that. Never had it just buying groceries.

Ark Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 It doesn't.... Seems to work better on a land line.. these peeps use random dialers on network number ranges... I work for BT, so I love it when they do this and our numbers come up - we can sit and hear the phones go off, working their way along the office, but they ring off quick-time when you say "You just called BT, and we can tell you are war-dialling, so cut it out before we cut you off!"
