Keep getting called by 08000 191773 ...
 

....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?

Call the number from your office phone...?

Sure, let your employer foot the bill... that sounds fair :confused:

Whatever it is, it isn't Premium Rate. In fact, it's free:).

I kept getting calls from an 0800 number - turned out to be debt collectors after someone who used to live at my house :sleep:

Google and you'll find:

I keep getting calls from ladies wanting sex with an elderly, overweight, gentleman :eek:

They say they wish to give something back to the community :D

It would be rude not to ;)

Pete - When they tell you to go and f*ck yourself it doesn't mean they want sex :rolleyes:

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...:(

Any scoobynetters live near the address posted above?

Simply walk into the office and tear their ISDN 30/Kilostream circuit off the wall. The calls will stop. Job's a good'un. :D

That IS the best suggestion so far. Thanks :D
