01113

2PM UK time: had an asian guy asking me if I was the homeowner at which I point I told him to stop with the junk calls & not call again. We are getting now a junk call a day originating from overseas & I think India.

13.00 hrs  17th March 2010
Have received the dreaded 01113 call today.

My method of dealing with such calls is to utilise an answering machine, with the volume of the ringer turned very low or off .  Then all you hear is a voice if someone speaks. You then choose to pick up the receiver or otherwise.

Whatever, the mystery caller is charged for making the call.

Remember, you can always turn  the volume of the ringer up if you are expecting important calls from family or friends.

I got a call today from these idiots - hung up when I answered phone - I even registered with the Telephone Preference Service and I still get them! I shall sue them for thousands if they do it agian! :-)

Absolutely furious!! This number only seems to bloody call me just after i fall asleep, its not like i can turn the phone off either as i rely on it as my main source of communication when at home. The amount of sleep ive lost to these phone calls is damn right disgusting and should be on grounds for harrasment, i sure wish i knew who these bas**rds were

I received a call from this number today in the afternoon. It was from an Indian sounding man who asked "for the lady of the house". I just put the phone down and assumed it was a scam.

I've also had 2 other calls like this where they insisted on getting my name - I picked up the phone and said, "hello" and they said, "who's this?", I said "who's this" and they insisted on trying to get my name and never gave theirs, in the end I hung up.

I've also had a call where they ask for a Mr Hussain. I say that there is no one of that name here and then they say that I could help them instead, hmm! I hung up again.

Not during any of those calls was a company name given.

Received a call from this number today, when I answered the caller stated it was a telemarketing call. When I said I wasn't interested he just hung up. Very rude!

called us a few times, either dont speak and hang up or ask for previous home owner!!!
i get the feeling these idiots get paid per number they call irrespective of wether or not they speak to you!!
it should be illegal and stopped now! its abuse!

Got a call from 01113 today, strangely at 11:13 am so I had to double check my 'caller display'. I answered . . . . there was silence, then they hung up.

just had a call from this number ( found out after the call through 1471). An asian sounding man asked to speak to me, i said he wasnt here, they asked when i would be in to speak? i asked him who it was and the nature of the call, he said "oh he knows me from very long time, my name is jack, tell him to phone me on ..... . He gave me what looked like a local number.

i said unless you tell me the nature  of the call i will not be passing on the message. the caller said, well i'l just phone him on his mobile number and tell him you wont pass on the message, i said , fine go right ahead. No call on my mobil so far....

i phoned the local number he gave me, it took a while to answer but i got another asian sounding man, so i knew it wasnt local and hung up.

Thing is, this has been happening ever since i took up contract with BT for calls, broadband and vision. And as we all know the whole BT set up is run at an indian call centre.

Unfortunately i think the workers there are passsing on our information to their friends who work for these telemarketing scam companies and making a few rupees from it.

i mean its no coincidence that almost all the statments on here say they phone BT up and they get told there is nothing they can do about it. Hmm?????

i leave it to you to decide, but if you are with BT, then its a good chance that this is what is happening.

i will give it a while and if i get more calls i will phone my asian brothers and threaten to cancel the whole contract.... see if that stops it!

incidentally, i also got a call from an idian sounding man from "24talk" offering me cheap calls since i have been a long customer with BT for a long time.... ive only been with BT since february!!!!!!

I simply screened my calls with my answering machine for a week or so.

Don't seem to be getting calls from them now.

asian woman said discrepancy with my bill from @##@=& phone company , i reply i'm not with that company then hung up.

thanks for info, another reason not to sign up with bt !

silent call from 01113 at around 16:12 24-Mar-2010.

Had a call today at1645 from 01113 and the person asked for my wife by name. When I told him she was not in, he hung up.  Who is this calling?

I am getting calls from this number too. I am not with BT, so it is not a BT problem. We recently changed number when taking up a Cable phoneline contract. Very few people have our number. We are ex-directory. I haven't answered any of the calls and will be screening calls from now on.

I don't have a BT landline......yet I have received two calls today that just hung up when answered. First was from 06468451862 and the second from 01113 about 30mins apart.

got a call from 01113 today; it hung up when I answered. My neighbour and I have been getting various calls all sounding very Indian; though the last one, when I asked where he was, said "China".

My phone is next to the computer - my tip is to download a recording of the IC SIT tone ("Intercept" tone) which tells auto diallers "Number is changed or disconnected" - see http://www.yourhomenow.com/sit.html  or look up Special information tones on Wikipedia.
Download the sound file to the desktop and keep it open and ready to play.
Get ready to hit "play" as soon as you pick up the phone, holding the receiver close to the speaker, or better still record it onto the start of your answer machine message. It seemed to eliminate the automated "Florida holiday" calls for a long time.
Most call centre staff will hang up if you ask them enough questions, but it's perhaps better to say "Please hold" and leave the phone under a cushion. I have also looked up the Hindi for "no thank you" and "go away".... just in case.

Just had one as well, CLID is 01113 and when a 1471 is done it says the same.

they just phone today as soon as i answered they hung up anyone tried ringing back or do you think its a scam

Rang today at 16:00. Hung up as soon as I said 'Hello'.
