Annoying calls offering loans

Yorkslad_2

Anyone else getting annoying calls from this number...

0870 7152 840

Four times today, two yesterday...many last week.

You answer to be met by a recorded message offering you loans, which I have no need of and never requested.

When you listen to the message, you are then met by a badly English speaking [if you could call it that...sounded African?] person saying I must have enquired about a loans otherwise they wouldn't be calling.

Just switched to Talk Talk, and registered with TPS, and changed my number in last two months.

Asked to be removed, but they started asking personal details if I wanted to be removed and gave up and put the phone down.

Any advise how to get rid of them?

If they require some personal details to be removed, why not give them some?

They don't have to be yours or even genuine. That'd be like giving your real phone number when using an online comparison site to search for insurance - bound to result in unwanted calls.

The only thing they know about you is your phone number so giving them a bogus (but believable) name and address to go with that cannot do you any harm, can it?

Admittedly, there's only a slim chance doing so will stop the calls, but it's still a slim chance.
