02920822640

They called me for the first time today like most people I ingore numbers I don't no but checked the interet and found this I'm sending an email to bbc watchdog get them to look on here and see if they can do something and if they can't stop them will still be nuce to see the owners chased around cardiff by a bbc film crew and people will no who they are so they should lose money I hate these people

was called by this number 02920822640 saying his name was Chris calling from Sweden and wishing to speak to me (my real name).
I was surprised as he cut the phone before i could even utter a word.It's a big scam as i've just read through other people whom have been contacted by the same strange number.

They called me just few minutes ago, and they were unprofessional, they said "isn't it embarrassing to be on pay as you go and that your friends are on contract?" i just told them straight i am not doing contract and staying as pay as you go, they sounded strange too, also heard laughing in the background, just hang up if they ring again.

where did they get my mobile number cause i didn't give it to them?

Supposedly O2 wanting me to buy a cheaper one.

But I'm on T mobile?

I was called a moment ago.
I did not answer.
Then I searched the web and found myself here.

I've had 2 calls in 2 days from this company on the 02920822640 and the 01792301501 numbers. I did a bit of research on Comms Direct and if anyone is interested, the Director of the Company is a guy called Matthew Burge. He's also the Chairman of Cardiff Devils.

If any of you are on LinkedIn, he's registered on there also. You can view his profile here

I'm sure that with a bit more effort, I'll get his personal contact numbers. See how he likes to be harassed. I've got plenty of things I want to sell. ;)

If anyone else can take this further, I'm sure we'd all benefit from having his personal mobile number. ;)))

I did a residential search on BT for the name and area. It came up with 4 references for M. Burge in Cardiff.

Here's the link to the results page http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publisha.conte ... &x=0&y=0&Page=2

Doubt he'd be that much of a nob not to be ex-directory himself but he could be one of the 4. I'm going to keep digging. If anyone else want to help find this guys number to personally ask why his company is such a pain in the [***] to so many people, please feel free to use this info to help your search and post your results here.

...Matt Burge is no longer a Director if the company (but I suspect he was previously along with a guy called Marc Winchester).

Comms Direct's turnover in 2008 was over 100 million.

Mmmmmm, wonder what kind of person he is ...

Mmmm. 2 addresses from the BT list are in Penarth, but none with the exact address and no others Burge's at the address above address either....

More to come ...

Steve M.

Maybe we should use the Cardiff Devils ticket sales line to ask about why his other company is such a pain in the [***].

If anyone wantes to try, the number is 0844 801 2010. Please bear in mind though. If we all try at the same time, it'll probably clog their sales lines and stop them selling any tickets over the phone...... ;)

Steve M.

dont know who it is just called me today

This number just called me. I didn't answer.

The doll said she was from "3" network, was like what contract u on, whats your contract details, i was like im sorry but why should i b telling u, then said, i dont give my contract details to other companies (them being a competitor), she was lik .....ummmmmm....ooooo. and i was like duh then hung up

FAIL

Just got a call from them some 10 minutes ago but missed because it was on silent, glad i didn't pick it up.

Had two calls from these people today, but haven't answered as am luckily in work.  have just renewed my phone contract, so don't think they can offer me anything.  Just wondering how many calls I'm going to get after reading some of the comments above.

B"tch called me again!

I wish someone would link this page to them to let them know how annoying they are!

They phoned for 3 Mobile for a new contract.Polite to me, but a salesperson nontheless.
