    This number along with 0207 060 6042 has been phoning the mem sahib's mobile now for about a week. Up to 12 calls a day. Anyone know who they are and how to put a stop to these nuisance calls?

    Can you not call your mobile company & ask them to block that number?

    Sign up for stuff (e.g. PPI claims) and put THEIR number as the contact number? ;)

    Ooooh - that's evil :p

    I had fun doing something similar to this with junk mail a while back, Remove all your details from the mail shot and put in the details of another junk mail pest. So the AA gets junk mail from Direct Line and Direct line gets junk mail from the RAC - and so on :D

    02073451299 is a company saying you have entered a competition to win an ipad, they then go on to try to get you to join a lottery syndicate paying by direct debit. they callers are asian sounding and is a blantant scam!

    Asians!?!

    It used to be the Irish and Blacks.
    I thought it was the Romas today?
    Do keep up with latest prejudices ;)

    BTW, I see you are still reading threads from almost 18 months ago.

    Controversial, given the OP's use of mem sahib, as they are probably asian too...

    I find winding them up to be the best medicine. Time is money for them. They dont want to be talking to you when they have a chance of talking to someone who pay give them money or earn them money.

    FIL received the Microsoft scam call recently. Lucky i was there to answer. I said its not turned on. Popped the phone down and shocked to find then still holding on. I said i cant find the computer. They asked if it was a laptop. I said no its a desktop. A big tower thingy but i cannot find it.

    They hung up. Next time i must be faster in asking them help me locate it. Obviously if its missing and they know its showing errors then they should know where it is. May have to push them and see if they stole it.
