Who on earth keeps calling? Anyone know who this is?

Who on earth is on the other end of 01392 686000. I am constantly getting calls on my mobile from them. Have never yet managed to answer one of the calls. I have tried calling back from my mobile and it doesn't even connect. If you call from a landline it is constantly engaged. Getting really annoyed now as it can be up to 10 calls a day.

    Looks like 01392 is Exeter area.
    Happy chappy
  • Yeah I tried that as well, funny thing is when I first started to get them I googled it and it came up with an ebay link. Something to do with investments or something. Looked well dodgy!!!! T-mobile were no use whatsoever as I tried asking them as sometimes they can tell you who it is. They couldn't find it but did try calling it and got the same as me engaged!! My curiosity is getting the better of me now!!!

    I had a few of them can't remember the numbers but they were not mobile ie starting with 07 just reject or block the number(s) and they seem to give up after a while it is a nuisance though as you can never seem to get the phone open quick enough before they hang up
    Best of luck Max

    Its possibly an outbound telemarketing line, or their caller display eqpt is faulty and sending out wrong number.

    Code: 01392 68
    Area: Exeter
    Locality: Exeter, Devon
    Operator: Eurobell
    Tariff Band: National (inc VAT)
    Service: Geographic
  • We've also had problems with persistent calls from 01392 686000 and another number - 05602 399 273. Perhaps they are connected. Any information about these pests would be very gratefully received. I may have to go to OFCOM eventually to stop it. The strange thing is, we are registered with Telephone Preference Services and our number is ex-directory, so how on earth do these people manage to find us?
  • Phone Telewest as the number is owned by Eurobell (thanx to billsavings for this info) who are in turn owned by Telewest ask for their nuisance calls section and advise them of these calls. I finally answered a call from them and I think they called themselves Money Club or something. Apparently I had signed up on some website which i have no recollection of doing. Calls have now ceased

    I'm getting calls from this number now as of today 5 calls already today but havent got to answer it yet. I have no idea why they should start all of a sudden. I'm also registered with the telephone pref service and silent call service
    Thanx

    According to a few other forums 01392 686000 is a cold-calling spamming business called The Money Club.

    Don't touch them with a barge pole.

    Scammers who sell you a subscription-based shopping discount memebership.

    Beware!!!

    When they ring up, just tell them to F@@K OFF!

    Be as rude as possible. It's what they deserve.

    Answered the phone tonight when they rang yet again and no one said anything. I've re entered my number on tps and silent calls earlier today but it was still ringing this evening too
    Thanx

    It will take weeks or months for this to take effect.
