....on the home phone.
About 5 times per day
Complete silence whether you say anything or not. Not going to call it back - might be a premium rate scam.
How can I stop it? Can I get it barred by BT?

I keep getting calls from ladies wanting sex with an elderly, overweight, gentleman 
They say they wish to give something back to the community
It would be rude not to

Call the number back and there is a recorded message that "we are trying to contact you to inform you of a special offer..."
Spoke to a man at BT. It's a power dialler system, that is probably not working properly ie not switching to an agent when I answer.
He said to complain to ICSTIS (0800 500212) as we are registered with TPS so they shouldn't be calling anyway. He said they would be interested and it shouldn't be a waste of time. We shall see later today...
We're also on a free month of Choose to Refuse (will cancel it around 20 July before I end up paying £3.45 a month) so that I can actively bar the number for the moment.
Maybe in a month's time, they'll have given up trying to call us....

ICSTIS not interested. Thanks BT man. Not. ICSTIS suggested I called the BT Malicious Calls Unit or the TPS.
TPS confirmed that we're registered with them. Will send me a form to fill in to enable them to complain to the company on my behalf.
From the multiple calls I've made to a selection of different organisations about this, the overriding impression is that people just want to give me another telephone number to call to get me off the line asap...
