00501

Really p****d off with this number 00501 Iv'e had 6 or 7 calls now I just see the number and ignore it. What bugs me are all the elderly and vulnerable people they may be calling. If I still had my parents and they had disturbed them I would be furious. There should be something that could be done.

Had this phone number call me this evening (5.45pm). Indian guy asked if I was the home owner and wanted to discuss whether my property was insulated. I asked where they had got my details from as I was registered with the TPS. He promptly then asked me how much the TPS fine was for them 'cold calling' me, and when I said I didn't know he got annoyed and said "you aren't registered with them if you don't know what the fine is, go-away!" and then he hung up on me. Charming...

I work for a solicitors, and received a call from this number, she wanted to know who dealt with our sales, I told her this was a Solicitors, and she hung up.

I too have received calls from this number at various times day and night surely there must be something one can do about it?

2.00pm had a call from 00501, fortunately we leave our answerphone on and they hung up as soon as the message started.     We also get calls from eight or nine zeros!

got a call from this number but on returning call it does not exist

Got a call, said he was not trying to sell me something, just wanted my opinion.
I nearly gave him it, but I do not like to be rude on phone.,

Foreign accent but I think not Indian.
Conversation went something like this:
'Hello, I am Jacob from PPI Claims. We are ready to refund the money from your loan'.
'Which loan is that?'
'You haven't had any loans?'
'If you're ready to refund money to me then you must be able to tell against which loan.'
'Ok. Thank you for your time'. Caller hung up.

silence, then click, then dead- however- the phoneowner website was very interesting- people have recieved calls from this number for over two years, variously claiming to be the ministry of justice, microsoft, ppi misselling, who knows what else. so its just a bunch of criminal chancers. suggest an airhorn or rape alarm just in case you get a live one.

Not the first time, when is this pratt going to be shut down and fined?

Call from 00501 went to answer phone but left no message

This company keep phoning me to do a life style survey.

Had yet more calls from this number supposedly from Consumer Direct to do a lifestyle survey, worryingly they know my full name and address! One of the first questions asked was 'are you happily married or single', when I pointed out that I did not fit into either category he got shirty and said I had to answer one or the other, I refused, he hung up!

Call received at 9:38am today (Friday 18th Januay 2013).  Male called "Austin" asked to speak to my husband, when I handed over the phone to husband the guy then hung up.

called by 00501 today (18th Jan 2013 ) -- female,Asian voice claiming to have had reports of problems with my computer  -- when I asked what her company's name was she replied 'Windows operating system'  --  I said 'nothing wrong with my computer' and hung up

Bangalore TalkTalk call with idiotic proportions of questions. I gave as many stupid answers and he eventually realised I was pulling his cord! Buy a whistle and give them a blow.

Just keep repeating that you have no money, only tent and a phone line to make prank calls. Start trying to sell him/her your tent. Oh how they get fed up! Teeheeeee

They are scammers pretending to be Microsoft Technical Support.  They will ask you to switch on your computer and then gain remote access, if you follow their instructions.  May also offer you cut price security software to get your credit card details, to scam you even more.

Got a call from 00501 this morning asking for my wife. told them i was her husband could i help n they hung up. They called again at 5pm i pasted them to my wife and they sed they were from sky protect my wife told them i was the account holder for sky and sky protect and she passed the phone back to me.
