    they probably got your address from you entering an on-line competition.

    been getting phone calls from a couple of 0800 and 0870 numbers - can't find any details on the internet and never get left messages. Any ideas who they are from?

    08000191774

    Hi

    Received a call earlier today from the above number. No reply when I picked it up. Just now I received another call from Clydesdale Bank. Guess what? When I rang 1471 it was 08700500524.
  • I have also had a call from 08700500524- claiming to be Emmas Diary and wanting to confirm date of birth etc- NO WAY!

    It was Otto UK Home Shopping, that called - that's what the voice message says when you call it,

    They run the catalogues such as Freemans, Grattans & Kaleidoscope.
