Odd number called 05268####
Options
I won't give out the whole number but got a call from +5268#### yesterday, answered and heard some ruffling windy sound - no one spoke so I hung up.
Got a missed call again today, this time mobile tells me number 05268####. Did look it up- thought it was from Mexico dialling code 05 but not sure.
First time around I would put it down to someone mis-dialling but second call - not sure. Any detectives out there have any ideas what this number might be?

Yes it is a crawler. a robot machine that calls your phone and logs when you answer, it detects answer phones or real people they sell the data to marketing companies who will target calls at the times you answer.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Thanks.
Effing bar stewards - if I had the will and Ofcom provided a quick means to complain online, I would do it right now.0
