    I expect he will trace the number to a exchange. Of course this can only be done with BT numbers.

    There is a site which will tell you what exchange a BT number is connected to but thats as far as he can go.

    I once spoke with David [Name removed by Forum Team] placing a fake order over the phone and suddenly, out of the blue, he stated: Right, you have now been on the phone long enough for me to trace your number. The Police have been informed and they are on their way.

    That was very clever, as I never withhold my telephone number.

    He needs a slap anyway and a massive fine at the very least.

    [QUOTE=[Name_removed_by_Forum_Team] [Name removed by Forum Team] sBiggestFan;21278759]I have just had a very strange experience, I'm an expat living in Southern Germany, I've lived here for a few years now.

    I had a call on my mobile, in English, asking to speak to someone I had never heard of, then I got a tirade of abuse from a young sounding gentleman who accused me of accessing gcspcs.

    I had never heard of the site, so googled it and ended up here. I will be reporting the caller, who did not hide his telephone number, to the London police.

    The number he called from was 02030117166.

    Now I have located his website I will be speaking to his hosting company, has anybody got any ideas as to who they are?[/QUOTE]

    Firstly, the Central London 0203 number is purchased from tollfreeforwarding.com and is diverted to the [Name removed by Forum Team] 's mobile; any outgoing calls made by the [Name removed by Forum Team] s would display their mobile telephone number or their 01268 landline number, but NEVER the 0203 number; trash like the [Name removed by Forum Team] s would also never make a call without prefixing it with "141"; it is just the sort of people they are: it allows them to become abusive without fear of being identified.

    Secondly, if you access any website, the only thing the webmaster can tell about you is your IP address which in turn tells the webmaster your approximate geographic location. It NEVER REVEALS YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER (landline or mobile) and it would need a court order delivered to your ISP to reveal this number, and then only to the authorities, not to scum like [Name removed by Forum Team] .

    Thirdly, it does not make sense for the [Name removed by Forum Team] s to make an abusive call to someone just for accessing their site.

    I can only assume [Name removed by Forum Team] has created an alter ego to create some misschief or maybe he wants to know whether we know who his hosting company is? Whatever his intent is, who cares?

    I know they can't get my number from the website, as they called on my mobile.

    I have never visited the site before today, and had never even heard of it, so god knows how they got my number.

    The caller display on my phone came up with the 02030 number, I can send you a photo if you dispute this, but I'm not lying. There must be some way of masking outgoing call numbers.

    I'll find out the ISP for his site myself, and make my own complaint.

    I do apologise to you, in fact, the standard of your English is such, that I realise you cannot possibly be David or [Name removed by Forum Team] [Name removed by Forum Team] . To help you with your complaint, I believe gcspcs.co.uk is hosted by DK Hosting (http://www.dkhosting.co.uk)

    No trisontana I am outside of a catchment area. There is something called the 11+ that you pass to get into a grammar school. There are no grammar schools around and the closest ones are in Southend and thus I have to travel there. I attend the college there and not the school. This again, has nothing to do with my company. You are not required to attend any school in the country. Maybe you're a bit rusty on your school facts.

    Don't worry BASFORD lad, at no point have I said where I live at all is this one of your lies how you lie through your teeth? Is this another lie eh? I have never lived in Southend and never will do.

    Right that's it so2006 you have been reported to the police. Have fun with them and your criminal record.

    Luke1081 the police investigation went fine and they came to the conclusion that because of Barclaycard, I was unable to refund, not because I was fraudulent. NOTICE: YOU ENTER OUR WEBSITE AND YOU ARE BANNED, WE SHALL PLACE AN ENFORCEMENT NOTICE AGAINST YOU AND ENSURE YOU DON'T.
