Weird Phone Calls

  1. We all get them and on a regular basis but I’ve just had a first......

    The number that showed on my mobile was +00 00000000

    No surprise that the line went dead when I answered it :mad::mad::mad:

  2. Got call blocker on the home phone works a treat

    Maybe it was your good lady texting you the price of the new home she's found ?

  3. I've had some automated voice calls a year or so back. But I'm vigilant towards making sure companies/websites know I am not sharing my phone number for them to sell it on. Could be one of those dodgy phone numbers you effectively ring back & they are a huge payment per minute.

  4. I never answer numbers that I don't recognise. If it's legit they leave a message.

    Companies can spoof numbers to make it look like it's a local call when it's actually someone in a different country. I don't get it. I mean, if they can't even be honest about their phone number then why the arsing fuck would I do business with them? Do they think they'll get by on charm? Well, I'm all stocked up on fucking charm - as you can clearly tell.

    Rant over. A-a-a-and relax.

  7. When I get these calls I normally put a block on them afterwards.

    But I was intrigued by this number :)

  8. I like to tell them to hold on for a mo and then just leave the phone near the tv speaker.

  9. Being head honcho it might have been a government bureau number gathering intelligence ?
    Think they might have been disappointed if you'd answered? ;)
