i received a call from this number 01612 738177 on  30/01/2008 at 19.44

Had a missed call from the number, when tried to ring back, first time engaged, then a few hours later it wouldn't even connect.

Had a missed call from this number while I was abroad on 30/1/2008. Tried to call back several times, but the number gives off a vacant tone.

was given a missed call, call back but it kept giving an engaged tone

I just had a call from this number and answered it. The guy said he was from 3 and that he wanted to improve my contract. Probably told him more than i needed to about my current deal etc and when I asked for a contact number he gave me 0800 632 8282. Suprise suprise, it doesn't exist.

Had a call last week from this number claiming to be 3 customer services.  Offering upgrade etc.  Complete liar.  Ready for them now!

Got a few missed calls on my mobile today. Gonna get my bling ready

Received call at 13:59 Today. One ring then rung off. My returned call was rejected repeatedly.

missed a call from this no on 16th feb at 14:08, tried to ring them back but cant get through! 01612738177

Rang while i was in a lecture, never called back incase it was a scam and glad i did! How did they get my number?

Just had a call from this number claiming to be my mobile phone service provider to check if I was eligible for a free upgrade. However, they didn't have ANY of my details on file and instead asked me for the details to 'verify' who I was.

Same thing here.  Got call but I couldn't answer it.

Having read this, glad I didn't.  AND I'm not ringing back which if I hadn't seen this, I might have done.

Was called by this number today...again, hung up before I could answer! -glad i didnt make a big effort to ring them back..def dodgy!

got call from this number and unable to call back, said line busy. what is going on?

After receiving a call from these people, claiming to be from 3, I called 3 customer service to check if anyone had called them on my behalf. They confirmed that an authorised reseller 'UK Choice Ltd' had called to check my availability for an upgrade.

So, yes, they're authorised, but they do seem to like to pretend they are 3 and not a reseller.

had a missed call on my mobile from this number. called it back on the works phone but its permanently engaged.

got a call 9.23 this morning- i was half asleep tried ringing back but engaged- im not even with 3! whats going on?

got a call from this funny number too... ry to ring back,but with rejecting dial tone.

recieved a call from this no. hung up 0161 273 8177

SAme here, called and they hung up after less than a second.

Having worked for 3 in the past, no-one should be calling and asking you for details they should already have!

As for how they "get" your number, they just call batches of numbers ie. 07xxx xxxxx1, then 07xxx xxxxx2 etc.

Be vigilant and just say no if asked for anything!
