I keep getting called by the people at that number.

Also people from this number are doing the same thing, 01606814171

My mobile phone rings, and then instantly goes dead. I'm not stupid, I was not born yesterday. They have no intention of me actually answering the phone.

What they actually intend is for me to call them back. Not a likely event. It is definitely not someone who I know, so its some form of marketing company.

What can I do, I do NOT want to be ever called by them again.

Thanks for the link, it did not pick up the second number

I don't see a way to block them, something tells me reverse charge won't work, but I can sure try that one

HOW GOOD IS THIS ? REVENGE ON THE TELEMARKETER

Three Little Words That Work!!

(1) The three little words: "Hold On, Please..." Saying this, while
putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up
immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt. Then when you eventually hear BT's "beep-beep-beep" tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset ... you have , efficiently completed your task. These three little words could help eliminate telephone soliciting.

(2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end?
This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and
records the time of day when a person answers the phone. This technique is then used to determine the best time of day for a "rea l" salesperson to call back and get someone at home. What you can do after answering: If you notice there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times, as quickly as possible. This confuses the machine that dialled the call and it kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer!!!

3: When you get those "pre-approved" letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not th row away the return envelope. Most of these come with postage-prepaid return envelopes, right? It costs them more than the regular postage "IF" and when they are returned. It costs them nothing if you throw them away! In that case, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage-prepaid return envelopes.

Send an advert for your local chimney sweeper to American Express ... they might need one!

Send a pizza coupon to HSBC ... in case their canteen packs up. You get
the idea.

If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them back their
blank application form ... after all, it is their form!

If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on
anything you return.

You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! It still costs them, and it is their envelope after all ... you are just returning it!!!!

The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own junk back in the post, but folks . we need to OVERWHELM them, in order to stop them. Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all they're paying for it ... Twice!

Let's help keep Royal Mail busy. Since the Royal Mail are saying that
e-mail is cutting into their business profits, let's help them so they
will not need to increase postage costs again. You get the idea!

If enough people follow these tips, it will work ---- maybe you'll get
very little junk mail anymore.

I often peel a banana or orange and send the peel back with the junk mail as it saves me a trip to the bin. Ecologically friendly as it re-cycles waste efficiently.

I called the 01202587676 and discovered that they are closet recists - the make Emilyu from BB look good

Trucker Ted

This is probably a sial ,but its a funny prank call with one of those pain in the *** telemarketers on the receiving end.

I like the idea of sending them stuff back. I might start doing that too. It would be good to send them something that's too heavy as they would have to pay extra postage then

containing your dna or some random hair pulled off someone in front of you on the bus?

fast bloke

Positive response is a telemarketing group that 'arranges' appointments for financial advisors and mortgage brokers. You guys wil be glad to know that the spend the same amount of effort trying to get us to buy appointments as they spend getting you to agree to one. If you call them back and tell them you are an undischarged bankrupt they will leave you alone

AudiLover

Billgtt

Take a dump in it and send it back with a little note saying: Thanks for sending me some of your ****, I thought i'd return the favour and send you some of mine!
