    What exactly are they phoning for? What are you supposed to run? Is it a hacking thing?

    Here is my thread from yesterday

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3397684

    I reckon the Indians are really hacked off with us because we thrashed them at cricket.

    I had five calls in ten minutes yesterday.

    I have never had a call from an Indian and feel left out. I always felt sorry for the Indians when I was a child as the cowboys always won:D Geronimo was always my absolute favourite.

    I haven't had one either.

    Maybe it's because I check the callerid displayed before I bother to answer.

    The trick to not getting these scam phone calls is not to have a phone! Problem solved by Virgin Media cable broadband*!

    * admittedly a whole bunch of extra problems incurred, though...

    A sticky? At this rate, it'll need its own forum.
    There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
    It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
    In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
    Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.
