    Moral of the story: never give out your mobile number to companies, whether on paper forms or certainly internet forms. Once your name/address is matched to a mobile number, it is a commodity to be sold on to anyone who wants it. And always tick/clear the relevant boxes to disallow your details going to "other relevant third parties".


    Yes, I agree!!

    did you renew your car tax on line,, if so it asks for your number,, if you gave it, this is how they can get it from what i have been lead to believe.

    It's a Roxburghe / Graham White number. If they call, just answer but say nothing. See how long you can keep them on the line. My record is 3mins 40. Very amusing hearing them get all flustered.

    I had a call a few days ago not a debt collector but someone trying to sell me something, they asked for me by name then said who they were then I just repeated everything they said to me, back to them they soon bogged off!
