Is it not obvious that they have some how got a hold of the TPS list ....it would make sense wouldn't it

I always get the same asian woman, when she realises it's me ....she sighs and hangs up voluntarily

had a call from this number for my daughter - when I asked who was calling they rang off

I thought she was going to offer something really erotic and exciting; she told me that she had a recording from my number asking for her to ring me back today.  A lie.  Please stop this awful pestilence.

this number constantly calls, most times no one is there, can't call as not a valid number, they are a nuissance and ring all times of day, i'm also registered with tps

I was very upset to be rung by a woman with a foreign accent from this company who wanted to talk to (she gave my father's name).  I told her in no uncertain terms that unless she had a direct line to Heaven she was wasting her time, and not to call again and upset my mother, his widow.

My clue is that they may have the name from the gas company records, as despite him being dead for six years the computer at British Gas still sends us bills in his name, despite being asked not to.

Why does the government not stop these parasites phoning from abroad, as TPS is useless?

Received silent call from this number.  I am registered with TPS.  I have not put in a complaint to ofcom re silent call.

I just thought I would add my experience regareding this telephone number. I have had several calls the first one I was to busy and did not want to take part, I was told that they would ring again and then hang up on me. The second time my partner answered and he told him in no uncurtain terms not to ring again. Five minutes later the phone rang again, this time my daughter answered she told the caller that he was not available, he told her that he is there as he had just spoken to him and insisted on talking to him, she again told him very politely that he was not available and he them told her to go and get him, she was shocked at his manner and again said repeated herself and so he stammed the phone down.

I have again recieved another call today I told the caller that I did not want them to call again, his reply was that he would ring me again later, and hung up on me.
How rude?

Its a shame that these companies deal with people in this manner, and feel for the elderly who may be pestered by  this.

Well I am back again!! I rang the police (second time, they are useless!!) they have rang everyday since for 2 weeks, my 5 year old son had a serious fall last week, but as I am ignoring the phone calls I almost missed it,we had to go to casualty, if I was to ring the police every day I would surely be arrested or cautioned for harassment!!! well isn't this harassment! They are using different numbers. I had 2 calls within seconds first number was 011030 I told him I was on TPS then he went "Urgh" then I hung up. This number again from a lady she sounded like she was in a call centre (but is it a set up?) so then I've tried to trace it from around the world, using trace web sites tracking web sites, it is useless there is no such number!!! Will no-one out there help, I'm at my wits end!!!!

this number keeps calling me and there's nobody on the other end

Just remember it doesn't matter to autodialling machines that you have registered with the TPS, they can't check!

I also get lots of silent calls from this number. I called Virgin Media who were pretty helpful and they told me that to prevent silent calls you can call silent call guard on 0844 372 2325 or register via their website http://www.silentgard.com/register.aspx. You are advised to register every 12 months.  I've only been registered for five minutes so far, so I don't know if it works!

Thanks, Ruth: I hadn't heard of Silentgard before and have now registered with them. I've also blocked calls from this number. My phone provider, TalkTalk, offers this service for a £3.25 a month. Since they seem to be using a false number, they can get round this by making their calls appear to come from another number, but it makes it a little harder for them to pester me again.

Louise.

Long silence when our answerphone clicked in, then a woman's voice said something briefly and rang off. Onto the barred list with them. TPS appears to be entirely useless, I agree.

Can I ask of the previous 'posters' - who is your telephone supplier?  Seems i have been getting quite a few of these call since becoming a Talktalk customer.  Is this a common thread?

In case it has not already been mentioned in this thread, 0206 numbers are reserved for London expansion and have not yet been released for use. There was some talk of them being used for the 2012 Olympics but so far 0206 numbers are still invalid. So for now if you get a number beginning 0206 on your caller display or when you dial 1471, you can be pretty sure that it is bogus!

I doubt that your telephone service provider will have an impact on whether or not you get these calls. The question is where they are getting your number from. Is it possible that TalkTalk have put you on the Directory Enquiries database even though you intended to be ex-directory?

I get little or no such calls on our BT line but a few on our Virgin Media second line. Both have been registered for TPS for years and both were ex-directory until a few years ago when, for business reasons, I added the second line to the directory enquiries database. However, the frequency of unsolicited calls hasn't increased as a result so I'm more inclined to believe that the number has been obtained from me using that number when filling out forms both paper and on-line.

Usually, if I do answer one of these calls, I just say that they have come through to a business and ask that they remove the number from their list. The exception being the bogus Microsoft Support call where I tell them that we are a computer company and do all of our own technical support in-house.

However, with the benefit of caller display, I rarely answer any such calls although I do have to delete the silent voice-mail recordings periodically.

took a while to answer then asked for my name then hung up

Just had silent call - probably not the last today but bet they'll use a different number!

i received a call from these guys today. he asked if i would answer some lifestyle questions about my favourite brands. i replied i did not wish to do this & would appreciate if he removed my details from his dialler & did not call again. to which his reply was 'well we will just keep calling until you do answer them'!! my reply to him was 'i have asked you nicely not to call again & if you do i will take the matter further and seek legal advice as i am registered with the TPS'. he hung up! fingers crossed they dont call back xx

Been getting calls from  this number 4-5 times per day for weeks , asian sounding men or women , i mostly ignore them but when i answered today was told in no uncertain impolite terms with much relish they intend to keep calling me  even though i asked them to stop unless i answer their survey .
